Botox For Bladder Control

Since the FDA approved Botox for bladder control in 2013, it has become a successful and widely adopted treatment for overactive bladder (OAB), according to the National Library of Medicine. Botox works by relaxing the bladder muscles, which can help increase the bladder’s storage capacity and reduce symptoms such as frequent or urgent urination. The Richmond University Medical Center says nearly 33 million adults in the United States are impacted by OAB, roughly 30% of men and 40% of women. Although Botox is primarily used for cosmetic purposes, Botox for bladder control has become a well-established treatment for overactive bladder (OAB) and urgency incontinence.

Botox injections have been used for the past two decades and is approved in roughly 80 countries. Botox was approved by the FDA in 1989 in the United States with over 2,100 separate Botox and Botox cosmetic publications in scientific and medical journals, making it one of the most widely researched medicines in the world.*

Botox injections were recognized as the leading nonsurgical cosmetic treatment performed year over year with nearly 1.6 million cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2024. As a cosmetic treatment, Botox is able to help improve:

• Laugh lines
• Nasolabial folds
• Frown line
• Crow’s feet
• Improve drooping eyebrows
• Deep forehead creases
