Its generally lower cost also provides a more accessible option for many patients seeking neurotoxin treatments.

Allow the area to dry, then lightly sprinkle the area with starch powder. Gently blow off any excess starch powder. The hyperhidrotic area will develop a deep blue-black color over approximately 10 minutes. Each injection sitio has a ring of effect of up to approximately 2 cm in diameter. To minimize the area of no effect, the injection sites should be evenly spaced as shown in Figure 6.

Vigorous treatment of any epithelial defect should be employed. This may require protective drops, ointment, therapeutic soft contact lenses, or closure of the eye by patching or other means.

While Botox is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified professional, higher doses might potentially increase the risk or severity of common side effects like bruising, swelling, or headaches at the injection site.

However, there appears to be little benefit obtainable from injecting more than 5 Units per sitio. Some tolerance may be found when BOTOX is used in treating blepharospasm if treatments are given any more frequently than every three months, and is rare to have the effect be permanent.

Botox should only ever be injected by a licensed provider. Do NOT attempt to inject this at home yourself as serious and potentially life-threatening side effects may occur. Licensed providers use a thin needle to inject Botox into the targeted muscle or gland.

An injection of BOTOX is prepared by drawing into an appropriately sized sterile syringe an amount of the properly reconstituted toxin slightly greater than the intended dose.

The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, and particularly in those patients who have an underlying condition that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses and in approved indications, symptoms consistent with spread of toxin effect have been reported at doses comparable to or lower than doses used to treat cervical dystonia and spasticity. Patients or caregivers should be advised to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech or respiratory disorders occur.

Subsequent doses for patients experiencing incomplete paralysis of the target muscle may be increased up to two-fold compared to the previously administered dose.

Facial Anatomy: Everyone's facial structure and muscle placement are unique. A skilled injector assesses your specific anatomy to determine radiesse the optimal placement and dosage for your individual needs.
