Why Choose Botox?

It works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles and lines, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Botox can be used to treat several areas of the face, including forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and frown lines. Additionally, Botox is a non-surgical treatment that requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

What Makes Botox Different from Other Injectable Options?
While there are several injectable treatments available, Botox is unique in that it specifically targets the muscles responsible for wrinkles and lines. Other injectable treatments may focus on adding volume or filling in wrinkles, but Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Additionally, Botox has been used for several decades and is considered a safe and effective treatment when administered by a trained and licensed professional.
Botox for Migraine Headache
If you have been diagnosed with migraine and get migraine headaches often, you may wonder if there's anything you can do to prevent them.
OnabotulinumtoxinA, or Botox, was approved in 2010 for adults who get chronic migraines. That means you have both:
- A history of migraine headaches.
- Headaches (including tension-type) on most days (15 or more) of the month that last 4 hours a day or longer.
It is not an approved treatment if you:
- Get headaches 14 or fewer days each month.
- Have other types of headaches, like cluster.
When people who had migraine headaches used Botox to treat their wrinkles, they told their doctors that their headaches were better. So doctors began to study it as a migraine pain treatment.
Botox Treatment
You'll get several shots of Botox around your head and neck once every 12 weeks to dull or prevent migraine headaches.
You may need 30 to 40 shots in all, and you'll get an equal number on each side of your head. If you have migraine pain in one particular spot, you may need more shots there. You could see results 2 to 3 weeks after your first treatment.
You should only get this type of Botox treatment from a doctor who's trained to give these shots for chronic migraine headaches rather than for wrinkles or other cosmetic uses.
Botox for Perspiration (Extra Sweating)
At Cosmetics Slimming and MedSpa, our specialized dermatology team understands that excessive perspiration can be embarrassing and may cause emotional, professional, and social problems. Although bothered by excessive sweating, patients often don't believe it can be treated and therefore do not seek medical help.
Botox injections have been FDA-approved to treat excessive sweating. In the skin, Botox selectively turns off the sweat glands resulting in a normal appearance without wetness. Treatment is performed during an outpatient clinic visit and no recuperative time or special care is needed afterward. The side effects are minimal and the beneficial effects are long-lasting (average 6-12 months). Extremely high patient satisfaction rates of up to 98 percent have been documented in various clinical studies.
The injections are performed with the smallest available needle and are only skin deep. Using an over-the-counter anesthetic (4 or 5 percent Recticare) cream, injections in the underarms are nearly pain-free. The palms have thicker skin that is more difficult to numb, leading to more discomfort with injection. After treatment of the hands, some patients report a temporary weakening of their grip, lasting an average of two to three weeks.
