Watch Calf Slimming Process With Botox Brooklyn | Dr. Khrom
Hi everyone, I’m doctor Khrome from Khrome dermatology and aesthetics. It’s summertime, but while you are all on the beach, we’re thinking about the fall and winter and what’s fall and winter? It’s boot season. It’s time for us to go shopping for those sexy boots and high heels. So, does anyone ever experience a problem when they love a pair of boots and they can’t zip them up? Well, today we’re solving that particular issue. So come over. We just injected some Botox to slim down the calfs in my lovely patient. She will see visible results in about a month. Her calfs will swim down and she will be able to buy the most beautiful boots that she wants. Stay tuned for her results take care.
Perioral Lines
Perioral lines are often referred to as smoker’s lip. These are the vertical lip lines around the upper and lower lips. These lines appear bolder during talking, drinking from a straw, and general lip pursing. Botox treatment in this area with will differ the appearance and also prevent the lines from becoming deeper. This treatment can also make the lips look fuller. This occurs because the muscle that wraps around the mouth is relaxed, gently averting the lips in a natural form.
Brow Lift
Botox injections administered in specific sites can reshape the brows by giving them a lift and recovering the droopy or angry brow. A successful brow lift can round and open up the eyes.
Crow’s Feet
Today Botox is FDA approved for the treatment of crow’s feet. These are the lateral canthal lines near your temples. A few tiny injections are administered at various sites to diminish these uncanny dynamic lines. Likewise botox can potentially correct misalignment of the eyes. It is commonly used to cure blepharospasm (better known as the twitchy eye). In some scenarios, Botox may be injected to under eye area alongside the crow’s feet to lessen the appearance of bags.
Smile Correction
Today, your smile is detrimental anywhere you go. In the work force, at social networking events, or just strolling in public, a perfect smile can brighten anyone’s day. Often we encounter the “gummy smile.” It occurs when your upper lip elevates too high up, exposing the gums of your teeth. The scientific explanation to this is a hyperactive muscle or simply a thin lip.
Today, smile correction can be achieved by our qualified physicians. The approach is non-surgical and simply requires a small amount of Botox injected into the hyperactive muscle of the upper lip. The results will inhibit a natural and clean smile. For a fuller upper lip, lip augmentation with fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm may be incorporated.
Jaw Reduction
Want to slim down your face and give it a softer appearance? By reducing the width of the jaw, a more attractive facial shape may be defined. This may be achieved with Botox by weakening the chewing muscle.
How does Botox work here?
When the purified protein is injected into the jaw muscles on each side of the face, the muscle becomes partially relaxed. The uncontracting muscle will lose mass and size over time.
Will I have problems chewing my food?
Although this is not common, some clients may experience exhaustion of the jaw for some time. However this is only temporary and will go away.
Is the procedure painful?
Due to the very thin diameter of the needles, minimal to no discomfort is felt.
What are the side effects after Botox Jaw Reduction procedure?
As with most cosmetic needle procedures, there is a slight chance of mild bruising or redness at the injection site. However one can proceed with normal activities thereafter.
How long will it take to see noticeable results?
Within seven days, you will notice that your jawline looks softer. It may take up to six weeks to see a noticeable reduction in the jaw line that is guaranteed to last between six months to a little over a year.
Excessive Sweating
Although perspiration is a normal bodily function, excessive sweating may be quite uncomfortable. The nervous system is where sweat arises. We have sweat glands throughout our bodies, however in particular areas they appear in high concentrations. Excessive sweating is medically diagnosed as Hyperhidrosis and is most commonly centered in the hands, feet, armpits, and genital regions.
Hyperhidrosis occurs in 2-3% of Americans today. Fortunately, Botox may be used as a therapeutic treatment to resolve this issue. Botox works by blocking acetylcholine release at the nerve endings that stimulate the sweat glands.
The results can last from 6-12 months. A sweat test is administered and Botox is injected into 10 to 15 sites. The procedure generally takes 20-30 minutes. 100 units are recommended by the FDA however this number may vary depending on the individual.
How is Botox administered?
Via a very fine needle about 50 units of Botox are administered into each axilla. Normal activity can be immediately resumed, however heavy exercise should be avoided for several hours.
When will Botox® take effect?
Sweating will be decreased by 90% within 48 hours and the full effect will be experienced within a week. You may also notice disappearance of odor associated with decreased sweating.
