COSMETIC TREATMENTS
Cosmetic treatments, which are only accepted for people aged between 18 to 65, include having a physician or certified expert inject the BOTOX® straight into the influenced area. The toxin in BOTOX® then paralyses or weakens the muscle in the area, avoiding the face motion that causes face line and wrinkles. A treatment’s viability typically endures for 3 to 6 months.
HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT
BOTOX® is effective in treating excessive sweating condition known as hyperhidrosis. BOTOX® injections can easily paralyze any nerve, as the toxin is really strong; if we inject Botox in the nerves that signals to begin sweating, we can treat hyperhidrosis; however, this is not a permanent cure and requires a repeat after 6 to 8 months. Health insurance company does not cover Botox injections.
