Answer Snippet
Can You Have Botox Straight After Microdermabrasion?
Botox After Microdermabrasion
Dec 14, 2011
There should be no problem getting Botox injections immediately after microdermabrasion. The reverse, however, is NOT safe. After injections, any procedure that creates pressure on areas treated with Botox can cause the medication to disperse, leading to unwanted muscle paralysis.
Is It Ok to Use Restylane 18 Months After Using Juvederm Under the Eyes
Juvederm vs Restylane For Tear Troughs
Dec 14, 2011
Juvederm and Restylane are two different fillers made of the same basic compound, hyaluronic acid. When used to correct the "tear troughs" under the eyes, the material must be injected very deeply . Bumps can occur if too much material is injected or the material is injected too superficially. The likelihood of developing these bumps can also be minimized by having the injector massage the area immediately after injection.

Fortunately when...

Botox is Limiting my Smile, Do I Have Options?
Botox and Smile
Dec 6, 2011
The limitation in your ability to smile was most likely caused by the crow's feet injections. There is a muscle just below the muscles that surround your eye called the zygomaticus. If botox is injected or migrates into this muscle it creates a problem elevating the corners of the mouth. This effect will eventually wear off, and exercising your smile muscles may expedite this. If you want to have your crows feet treated in the future, make sure the injector...
Accutane for Mild Acne?
Accutane For Unresponsive Moderate Acne
Nov 16, 2011
I typically use a simple grading system for acne severity, and an equally simple protocol for deciding on treatment. I consider patients with only blackheads and whiteheads to have mild acne, patients with papules and pustules to have moderate acne, and patients with nodules and cysts to have severe acne. Since you have at least moderate acne and are not controlled with antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and spironolactone, accutane could be the next logical...
Is a Slight Persisent Little Cough a Side Effect After Using Dysport?
At Cosmetic Doses, Dysport Not Likely To Cause Systemic Side Effects
Nov 16, 2011
It is unlikely that your cough would be associated with Dysport treatment. This is cold and flu season, even in Miami! I would recommded checking in with your primary care provider
What is the Dosage of Botox for Use to Treat Migraines?
Botox For Migraines
Nov 3, 2011
Botox can be a very effective treatment for migraines, and is now approved by the FDA for this indication. Several studies have been published on this topic. The protocol that is referenced most frequently utilized up to 195 units injected to the forehead, temples, posterior scalp, posterior neck, and trapezius muscles. In my personal experience, most patients respond to a much smaller dose depending on the distribution of the actual pain.
Not Seeing Results With Botox Around the Eyes
Botox For Crow's Feet
Oct 31, 2011
This is a common question.

When Botox is injected into the crow's feet area it is paralyzing a thin muscle called the orbicularis oculi. It may take as long as 2 weeks to see the full effect. At that point you should notice little to no movement in that area when you try to squint.

When you smile, the large muscles in your cheeks may push up the skin in the crow's feet area and make this look like it is wrinkled. This is completely normal after...

Does Botox Have to Be Diluted Before Injecting?
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin All Require Dilution Prior to Injection
Oct 31, 2011
All of the currently available neurotoxins are delivered to the doctors office in vials containing concentrated drug. Sterile salt water is added to the vials and gently mixed before the material can be injected.
What if my Juvaderm Box Didn't Have Plastic Wrap on It Before It Was Injected? Should That Worry Me
Juvederm Packaging
Oct 11, 2011
Juvederm is packaged with 2 syringes in each box. The plastic wrapping around the box has nothing to do with product sterility. Inside the box there are two separate plastic packages with peel off lids. The material inside the syringe should be expected to remain sterile unless the syringe is damaged or the cap is dislodged. The manufacturer recommends discarding any unused material after injection, however many practioners will save unused material from...
Male Wanting A Botox Browlift- 4 Days and No Results
Botox For Male Browlift
Oct 5, 2011
Experience with Botox has shown that men typically need larger quantities than women to produce a therapeutic effect, mainly because our muscles are larger (even in the face). In most cases, 5 units would not be enough to lift the brow for a patient of either sex. The recommended dose would be somewhere in the 20-30 unit range. With regard to results, fortunate patients may have a visible response as early as 3 days, however in some cases it may...
My Lips Are Cracked During Accutane Treatments, Which Lip Balms Would be Best?
Chapped Lips From Accutane
Sep 30, 2011
We recommend Aquaphor. It is over-the-counter, effective, easy to find, and inexpensive. There are many other products that also work well, however Aquaphor has been my stand by recommendation for 20 years.
Will Botox Help Nerve Damage in Face from Shingles?
Botox For Nerve Pain
Sep 27, 2011
I have had excellent success injecting Botox to alleviate several different types of nerve pain including nerve pain from shingles ("post-herpetic neuralgia").

A study in the December 2010 issue of Pain Medicine showed that the majority of patients receiving this treatment experienced a decrease in overall pain scores, improvement in sleeping, and a decreased need for pain medication. The effects lasted for at least 3 months.

If you chose to...

How Effective Are Dysport Injections for Hyperhidrosis?
Dysport Is Effective For Hyperhidrosis
Sep 15, 2011
The use of the Botox brand of botulinum toxin has been part of the Hyperhidrosis treatment algorithm for many years.

A study looking at Dysport brand was published in Europe in 2009. 45 patients were treated with 120 units in each armpit. The overwhelming majority of patients enjoyed complete absence of armpit sweating, and the effects lasted for 6 to 24 months.

Another head to head study published in 2007 showed equivalent effects and longevity of the two products...

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of an Allergic Reaction to Radiesse?
Allergic Reactions to Radiesse Not Likely
Sep 10, 2011
Radiesse is a soft tissue filler composed of resorbable calcium hydroxylapetite microspheres. After the material is injected into soft tissue, deposition of the patient's own collagen occurs around these microspheres while the material itself is digested by naturally occuring enzymes.

In the article entitled "Adverse reactions to soft tissue fillers " published in the January 2011 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, allergic reactions to...

What Can Be Done to Reduce the Chances of Droopy Eyelids After a Dysport Treatment for Crow's Feet?
Risk of Droopy Eyelids After Dysport For Crow's Feet?
Sep 9, 2011
There should not be a significant risk of eyelid drooping after Dysport treatment in the Crow's Feet (periorbital area). Eyelid drooping is more likely to occur as a complication of treating the "11 lines" between the eybrows (glabellar complex) or the forehead. Experienced, expert injectors are skilled in techniques to make sure that potential risks are minimized. We also recommend that patients keep their hands away from the treated areas for at least 3...
