Understand that botox shot into the arm made a quad's hand moveable enough to use it. How much for an injection in my quad son's elbow to help him move his hand? And, is this safe?
Thanks for your question -
This is a complex question that you should consult a neurologist to get a qualified answer. Botox can be used to treat spastic paralysis by _increasing_ paralysis of overactive muscles.
Botox will not work for flacid paralysis or work to reverse paralysis.
In addition, if botox is appropriate, it would likely be covered by insurance.
Hope this helps.
I have been told that a local doctor only injects Botox in his patients on the day he gets it in....other offices have it all the time...because they freeze it. Does freezing the product in the doctor's office change it or make it less effective?
BOTOX is delivered on dry ice in a frozen state in a powdered form. Sterile saline is added to the powder to reconstitiue the medication. Keeping BOTOX frozen for future would be considered fine and within FDA guidlines.
XEOMIN is a new botulinum toxin that is delivered at room temperature and can be stored at room temp until it expiration date stamped on the vial.
Using the clarisonic brush 2x daily on rental setting. Does this cause Botox injections to disappear more quickly than without use of the brush?
Thank you for your question.
Wait at least two hours after receiving Botox injections to use your Clarisonic brush to allow the product to be integrated into the intended location. After that time the Clarisonic brush should not interfere with the action of Botox and should not cause the Botox to wear off more quickly.
Botox works by blocking the communication between the nerves and muscles. Once it is placed it not affected by the light vibrations on the overlying skin generated by the Clarisonic.
In our San Francisco Bay Area practice we have many happy patients that use a Clarisonic with no problems with the length of effect of their Botox.
As always questions or concerns regarding your procedure should be disucssed with your provider.
I hope this helps.
