Botox™ - Related FAQ's
Q: I went to a spa in NYC and had Botox for my frown lines. I got no improvement and it's been four weeks. What should I do?A: You could go back and speak to them about it, but realize you have a better chance of getting a good result by seeing a physician who understands the anatomy of the muscles of the face, and is held to a higher standard than a spa.
Q: Is it true that Botox can be used for Migraines in NYC?
A: Yes, many patients get relief from their severe migraines when they have Botox injected into their trigger areas. Not all patients note the same results as their migraines may not have a distinct trigger.
Q: I am going to a wedding in one week and want to have Botox in NYC injected in my frown lines between my eyebrows. Will there be enough time for me to have this done and is it safe to do this soon?
A: As long as my patients don't fly the same day, I am fine with injecting Botox before their trip. It may take a week to two to get the full effect so you may or may not get the full benefit for the function of Botox's effect. If you bruise, which is not very common with Botox, you might still sport a black and blue mark for the wedding which will have to be covered with makeup.
Q: Should I have Dysport and not Botox in NYC? Is one better than the other?
A: There are no appreciable differences between the two and the study that I have done with Botox on one side and Dysport on the other did not reveal any significant differences between the two agents, whether their onset, duration or clinical effectiveness.
Q: I saw a new doctor in NYC to correct the last one's Botox treatment. I see some improvement one day after the new injections but I want it to be more. Should I go back tomorrow?
A: No. You should await at least one if not two weeks for the Botox to have more effect before you end up possibly having more Botox than you need. You may be delighted with the result if you just wait a little more.
Q: My chin has many dimples when I smile. Can I have my NYC dermatologist treat it with Botox?
A: Yes. This dimpling often responds nicely to Botox injections but there are risks of lip function being affected. Speak to your dermatologist about this.
