Ive been reading about Botox/collagen injections for the balls and heels of the feet so women can wear stilettos longer without paying for it with pain. Is this a procedure that's safe, how long do the injections last and what's the average cost?

Answer: Botox for feet
Botox can be used for the feet to treat hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Fillers on the other hand are used to reduce the discomfort some people feel with their footwear by adding extra cushion. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Answer: Hyaluronic acid HA dermal fillers for feet, not Botox
Botox is not what is being injected for the balls and heels of the feet so that stilettos can be worn. Hyaluronic acid is what is being injected to cushion and ease the load on the ball of the foot or the pressure around the heels. The procedure lasts about 6 to 9 months. Depending on the cost of dermal fillers in your area, and, at a minimum, you probably need a couple of syringes if not more, so at a minimum $1000-1200, but it will probably be higher than this. The other question, is it safe? Well, there are always risks with injections of dermal fillers and these risks should be reviewed thoroughly with your injector.
