Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I had Botox on my glabella region and wanted to remove some excess hair in this area, how long should
Hair removal after Botox
Nov 6, 2013
Your method of hair removal would be helpful to know. However most any method of hair removal should be safe starting the day after Botox was injected. Botox is injected deep into muscle, and most hair removal by laser, for example, only penetrates into the lower layer of skin (dermis) and not into muscle. Botox reaches its maximum effect around 10 days after placement.
I’m 22 — Are These Under-eye Creases and Crow’s Feet Here to Stay?
Lines around the eyes
Oct 1, 2013
Your photos show that you have great skin, but with some very early, subtle fine lines developing. A visit to your local dermatologist could help you find topical creams, such as retin A, Obagi elastiderm, Teamine eye cream etc. (there are many good brands) that could help improve and possibly slow down progression of these lines. Honestly, based on your photos, you don’t seem to need a surgical treatment at this time. But an in-person consultation to your local…
Can You Dilute Botox with Lidocaine 1% ONLY Instead of Normal Saline? Will It Have the Same Effect?
Don’t dilute Botox with lidocaine
Sep 15, 2013
The FDA approved way to dilute Botox is with saline. Bacteriostatic saline (with preservative) is most commonly used because it does not hurt as much as some other diluents. Although theoretically Botox would probably still work if diluted with lidocaine, I would not recommend this. If your provider uses bacteriostatic saline and a small (30-32 gauge) needle, the procedure should be very quick and well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
Can Botox Cause a Loss of Volume?
Botox does not cause volume loss
Sep 4, 2013
Botox relaxes muscles and should not cause volume loss. The volume loss was most likely unrelated to Botox. An evaluation with a health care professional could help diagnose what the volume loss problem might be.
Cheeks Have Too Much Fat for Botox Needle to Reach Muscle?
Fat not affecting your Botox
Sep 1, 2013
If you are getting results from the Botox between your eyes / lower forehead but not around the crowe’s feet area, then the problem is almost certainly that you need more Botox in the crowe’s feet to achieve the result you want. You should definitely see your injector and discuss this with them so that can get you the appropriate quantity of Botox.
Eye Wrinkles at 25. What Are my Best Options? Botox, Fillers, Laser or Surgery?
Options for eyelid wrinkles
Aug 31, 2013
Your photos show some wrinkles, some skin laxity, and some volume loss, all of which could be improved fairly easily. Potentially, these could be corrected by a botulinum toxin product to relax the wrinkles formed when you move your eyelids), a tightening procedure (laser resurfacing or blepharoplasty) to remove some of the laxity of skin seen at rest, and/ or a filler to replace lost volume of the sunken areas under your eyes. An exam with a provider skilled in these procedures could sort…
Can You Have an Allergic Reaction to Botox?
Probably not a Botox allergy
Aug 31, 2013
Although rare reports of Botox allergies exist, the symptoms you describe do not sound like the effects of Botox. You did the right thing by going to dermatologists. I would also recommend that you go back to the person who performed your Botox injections and ask them to evaluate you again and to see if there was anything that they did that could be related. If none of the dermatologists you visited offered to do a biopsy, that might be something to consider in order to get a…
