I use my friend's ozone sauna for detox treatments. It is used to detox the body and kill pathogens. Since using it, I've noticed my botox did not last as long and I'm trying to figure out the reason. Have there been any studies on this topic. Facts or opinions welcome:)

Answer: No treatments to "detox" Botox
Botox and other similar products such as Dysport work by disabling the connection between a nerve and the muscle it controls, for example the "corrugator" muscle that causes the deep furrows between the eyebrows. Once the effect has taken hold, the Botox is metabolized away and the duration of the effect relates to the time it takes the body to re-establish the connection. So even if there were a treatment to "detox" the Botox, there isn't any Botox to detoxify after a few days.

Answer: It is not your friends sauna.
Dear Texas Peach
I really hope that the "ozone sauna" is a fraud for your sake. Ozone is an unstable compound that is an oxidant. Environmental studies have found that peaks in ozone from pollution are associated with spike in community death rates. So it is worth putting your thinking cap on and remember that it does not make sense that a known toxin would "detoxify" the body. In fact there is no scientific agreement on what it means to "detox" the body. So don't accept this unscientific hooey. A more likely reason that your botox is not lasting as long is that someone is watering down the product you are receiving (this boosts the bottom line until clients bail). FInd out from the office you are getting service at how much actual BOTOX you are being treated with. Consider finding service elsewhere and see how much actual BOTOX (measured in units) they think you need. If that service last longer and gives a better result for the same amount of product, you will have your answer.
