Will Botox for Jawline Lift Also Treat Bruxism?
Will Botox for Jawline Lift Also Treat Bruxism?
A: Don't get your muscles mixed upBotulinum toxin injection in the jawline provides you a well defined jaw, by relaxing the thin muscle in the neck and jaw known as the platysma. Bruxism is mainly an effect by movement of your chewing muscle known as the masseter (you can feel it when you clench your teeth). Botulinum toxin there helps ease the teeth grinding, etc...
Why Are Restylane Injections (Undereye Hollows) So Expensive?
It's usually recommended that 2 syringes are used per eye; $1000 per syringe. Why is restylane so expensive? Is appears cheaper and more convienent to get an under eye implant atleast the results will be permanent where as with restylane you'll have to come back approximately every 6 months to 1 year for injections. Someone please help, I need undereye hollows filled but I can't afford $3000-4000 for restylane injections.
A: Price differs from one doctor to anotherThe injection of hyaluronic acid filler under the eyes (tear trough) requires great skill. Not any doctor is able to place it safely and correctly. While the price you have quoted is on the high side, it all depends on the doctor's pricing and his skills. You may actually be paying more for the skill rather than the product itself. There are some doctors who charge by the syringe no matter where they inject and it may actually be more beneficial for you to see them, provided they are of sound reputation and skills.
Will the New Botox Cream, Revance 1000 (Still in Trials), Reduce Side Effects?
Revance 1000 still in trials, I get horrific side-effects from botox/dysport...I heard this cream works great, do u think side effects (anxiety, debilitating anxiety) will be less likely? Cheers
A: Too soon to tell whether the toxin cream is as good!Given that trials are currently underway, you cannot tell how effective topically applied botulinum toxin would be. initial results do show that it is quite effective when used on the crow's feet (lines on the side of the eyes). There are people who are needle-phobic and a cream that can provide you with the same effect as the injected form would be indeed more attractive. Only time will tell though.
