Las Vegas, Nevada is known for being a city obsessed with beauty and success. The Vegas strip is lined with casinos and hotels, where people can flash their style.

For some, this is an everyday reality. Adult entertainers couldn't make a living without focusing on their appearances.

But what about the average Las Vegas mom who teaches second graders instead of kicking men in the groin for tips? Not everyone spends their nights working out on the strip.

Everyone faces the harsh standards set forth by this neon city.

Botox can offer some fabulous cosmetic benefits, but its value goes beyond what meets the eye.

Below is a list of some of the potential benefits of Botox if you live in Las Vegas.

Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Of course, Botox is popularly used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

Injections can smooth out the skin around the eyes, mouth, neck, and forehead, creating a younger looking face.

In the world of Las Vegas, a youthful appearance goes a long way. Those exotic dancers mentioned earlier aren't the only ones who benefit, though.
 
Even the average Las Vegas citizen (either man or woman) can benefit from a little boost of confidence when he or she walks into that important job interview.

Migraine Pain

In a city that seems to never dim, it may be difficult to find relief if you get frequent migraines.

The neon lights can be seen from space. Many people have claimed that Las Vegas is the brightest point on Earth as seen from space.

Whether or not that is true is another story. Although this effect is still out for investigation, many people who have received Botox injections experience fewer migraines and less severe symptoms.

Because Botox relaxes the muscles, it can help reduce sensitivity to bright lights and even nausea.

This means patients can spend more time out on the strip without worrying about migraines.

Excessive Sweating

During the summer months, Las Vegas is unbearably hot.

Those who spend a lot of time outdoors may find themselves in a pool of sweat every day. This can be bothersome and embarrassing.

Nobody wants sweat stains on every item of clothing in his or her closet. Nobody wants to always worry about their odor.

The problem may be even worse for those who have hyperhidrosis, a medical condition that causes excessive perspiration even in cooler temperatures.

Instead of having to worry about prescription antiperspirants, Botox injections can reduce this excessive sweating for months at a time.

Dance all you want and never have to worry about embarrassing sweat.

Enlarged Prostate

As a man ages, the prostate begins to enlarge. This is a normal part of the aging process, called benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Nearly one-half of men will have BPH by age 60. 90% will have it by age 85.

An enlarged prostate can cause frequent urination that can wake you up at night or get in the way of everyday tasks. Sitting through an important meeting or a flight can seem impossible.

Luckily, men with BPH may find relief with Botox treatments.

When injected directly into the prostate, Botox eases the pressure on the urethra and reduces the backup of urine.

In addition to making trips to the bathroom less frequent and urgent, this also reduces the risk of urinary tract infections.

Overactive Bladder

For women with overactive bladders, Botox injections may bring some relief.

In a study, Botox injections had a similar effect to oral anticholinergic therapy. The number of leaks per day experienced by the women was effectively reduced.

Although this treatment method has been FDA approved, the treatment can sometimes cause the bladder to become too unresponsive.

Crossed-Eyes

A condition called strabismus causes the eyes not to line up in the same direction. It affects about 4% of Americans.

Because strabismus causes the eyes to be misaligned, the brain receives two different visual images. If the brain ignores the image of the misaligned eye, the vision of this eye will stay underdeveloped and cause poor eyesight.

Botox injections have been known to help treat this condition.

When the eyes are in alignment, the previously misaligned eye can properly develop its vision.

Eye Twitching

Strabismus isn't the only eye condition that can be treated with Botox.

Some people experience eye twitches that are persistent and/or painful. These spasms can become a nuisance and start to affect the patient's vision.

Sometimes a spasm will hold the eye muscle in a tense position for an extended period of time.
Since Botox relaxes the muscles, it can be used to treat these spasms and relieve the patient of the painful twitching.

Depression

Depression is something many people encounter in their lives.

It can lead to a range of unhealthy behaviors, such as alcoholism, gambling addictions, and risky sexual behavior. In Las Vegas, these behaviors are almost expected, so the temptation to indulge in these behavioral patterns is high.

Although Botox is not FDA approved to treat depression, there is some suspicion that it may be a viable treatment option.

The facial feedback hypothesis states that people's moods are affected by their facial expressions. Clinical trials are being conducted to find out more about the use of Botox to treat people with depression.

Side Effects

As with any medical treatment, Botox comes with its share of potential side effects.

Botox injections may cause headaches, pain at the site of injection, bruising, and drooping eyelids.

Aspirin and ibuprofen should be avoided, as these medications thin the blood and may increase the risk of bruising.
