Did you know there's yet another interesting use for Botox? Studies have shown that if Botox is injected around a fresh sutured incision, that the incision heals with significantly less scarring? It is believed this is because the Botox eliminates tension and disruptions to the healing wound which allows it to heal more smoothly. The scars are visibly less apparent when treated with Botox!
Botox is also great for pucker lines around the mouth. It does prevent a strong pucker, but in turns helps the lines smooth out. Also, if placed correctly, can give a nice little flip upwards of the lip which gives the appearance of a fuller lip without a dermal filler.
Botox is awesome for hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. When placed superficially under the skin it blocks the sweat glands and hence, no more sweating. The most common areas treated are underarms, hands and forehead or scalp. Some patients are even requesting a "blowtox" as it allows patients not to sweat from their scalp after a workout and saves a hairwash afterwards! A single treatment can last from 3 months to a year, partly dependent on the number of units of Botox used. A few of our patients have noticed marked reduction in sweating longterm after several treatments and now require very few visits if any. We do also offer ThermiDry which is a one or two time procedure which also dramatically reduces the sweat glands and odor longterm.
Finally, Botox can be useful in Acne. In dilute amounts, it can be carefully injected in the more acne prone areas to reduce sebum production and helps the skin heal with significantly less scarring. The skin of course also appears more healthy, smooth and glowing wherever the Botox is injected.
