Botox for Hyperhydrosis ( underarm sewating)
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are the most common cosmetic procedure in the industry, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). Botulinum toxin acts by temporarily relaxing underlying musculature to smooth unwanted wrinkles and provide a youthful appearance. Botox injections have pleased millions of people yet many do not know all of the current FDA approved uses for this little miracle known as Botox.
BOTOX Cosmetic Uses:
Patients of Dr Messina
Why choose Dr. Messina of Messina Esthetic Medicine for Botox Injections?
I have come across a secret, in my opinion men respond to Botox injections better than women. It may be that women have followed skin care regimens most of their life while us guys consider a cap as complete protection. Almost every male I inject with Botox tells me they look years younger.
Botox Cosmetic Injections are one of the most requested treatments performed by Dr. Messina who has been injecting since 1988.
Botox Injections are administered by a fine needle that most patients describe as a light pinch. Many do not feel anything at all!
The results are noted in a few days and can last between 3.5 to 5 months.
How Much Do You Charge Per Unit of Botox?
This is a very common question and likely the wrong question for a prospective patient to ask. I will explain for persons new to Botox what a unit means. Medications are administered as doses we all know a baby aspirin is 80mg, well Botox and Dysport are administered in doses known as “units”.
The average woman requires between 20-50 units while men often require 20-70.
The better cost question would include:
Who is injecting the Botox?
How long have they been injecting Botox ?
Where and when did they receive their training ?
Do they use FDA approved Botox and not imported through foreign / Canadian mail order? Which may be the most important question.
Dr. Messina only uses FDA approved Botox provided directly from
Allergan.
Do your gums show when smiling?
If yes then you have the gummy smile and although its a benign condition gummy smile tends to make the person want to avoid smiling. Botox gingerly injected in low doses to the tiny muscles that elevate the upper lip correct gummy smile. Call to find if this procedure is for you.
Botox injections are a basic first step in any anti-aging, age control treatment program in Men and Women.
For the past 5 years, it has also been recognized that BOTOX® can dramatically reduce excessive sweating HYPERHYDROSIS. If injected under the arms, it can often reduce or eliminate sweating completely for up to 9 months.
If you sweat through jackets or constantly perspire then you may be a candidate for Botox Injections.
