Botox Boca Raton was being used by Dr. Jean Carruthers, who shared her Vancouver, Canada offices with Dr. Alastair Carruthers, her husband, a dermatologist. Jean was using the toxin to treat an unconditional spasming and blinking of the eye called blepharospasm. When one of her patients insisted that her forehead receive an injection as well, she questioned the advocacy of such a move and tested a willing guinea pig, her receptionist. After a slow start and an uneventful presentation at the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery in 1991 in Orlando, Florida, by 1993 it had caught on and since that time, the popularity of Botox Boca Raton has all but exploded. It is now a become a billion-dollar industry.

The Side Effects of a Botox Injection
Botox Boca Raton offers a temporary treatment of targeted muscles. The effects last 3 to 4 weeks. To get continued results, one would have to get additional injections. The injection feels like tiny pinches and may result in certain side effects:
A. Swelling
B. Soreness
C. Redness
D. A mild headache is uncommon but does occur occasionally for some
E. Bruising
F. Weakness in adjacent muscles and may lead to droopy eyelids or brows
G. A rare by serious bacterial infection called botulism can result presenting with problems breathing, speaking, or swallowing. Out of the millions of shots delivered in the U.S. fewer than 1,000 cases of botulism occur. It is extremely rare. Vaccinations can be given to prevent it. It is advised that the infected person seek medical care. It can last up to several days or weeks and is transmitted through the blood.
Time Needed for a Treatment
The average cosmetic treatment requires 15 minutes for the injections. It usually takes about 24-48 hours to see the effects of the injections. It can take up to 4 days. The effects of the treatment can last from 4-6 months. The more frequently, you receive Botox Boca Raton injections, the longer the effects of a recent injection. The occasional first-time user will experience shorter results of as little as 2 months. The second injection may result in longer lasting results. With repeated use the muscles will shrink, so the results appear to last longer.
Retreatment is needed as the neurotoxins wear off. At that time, your nerves will send signals to your muscles to contract, and the wrinkles and fine lines will reappear.
The Cost of Treatments
The cost of treatments is dictated by the level of professionalism of the administrator, the area where the treatment occurs, the size of the treated area of skin and the number of injections used.
A. Both technicians and doctors can administer the injections. The cost is less when a technician administers Botox Boca Raton injections.
B. The cost of treatments is higher in metropolitan areas like New York City and Los Angeles, California.
C. Treating sweating in the underarm area requires more injections to cover the entire area than treating laugh lines. In some instances, a patient may receive a discount for treating multiple areas of the body.
D. Another thing that will affect the cost is the number of injections an area requires to get the desired results.
E. The average patient reports paying between $300 to $1200 for the regular visit. The cost is based on all the factors listed above being considered.
What if Botox Boca Raton Doesn’t Work for You?
There is a limited number of people in the population, both male and female who cannot benefit from the effects of the most common injectable toxin. They are resistant to it. Either because of a natural resistance that existed before the first injection they ever received or because their bodies built the resistance with repeated use. This state is known as Botox resistance. About 1% to 3% of the population develop and/or born with toxin-blocking antibodies making them immune to the effects of Botox Boca Raton. This condition has been cited often in treating conditions like cervical dystonia.
A patient can also develop resistance to the effects of the toxin. Too many injections can cause the body to build up a resistance. When the injections don’t work, it is also possible that a bad dose was administered. You may need to be treated with a fresher batch. You may need additional injections, or you may need a more talented technician or doctor administering the injections. The most disheartening response to your problem may be Botox no longer works for you. You may need to try another dermal filler to treat your concerns.
Since 1993, Botox Boca Raton has been in the trenches helping people with those annoying lines and wrinkles of the skin. This miracle drug has saved a lot of people from very bothersome conditions like too much sweating, incontinence, acne, twitching facial muscles and body spasms, and to fill forehead wrinkles and laugh lines in the face. It even helps to control chronic migraines when administered by the neurologist. More people have realized the utility of Botox Boca Raton and benefited by the confidence it repeatedly restores.
