Bootox? Botox & Restylane injections for women’s high heels.

Laser Clinic MD — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:58:41 +0000

Medical Spa MD: I came across this article from Australia on Botox and Restylane being injected in womens feet.

IT’S the subject of whispered conversations over cocktails deep within Flemington’s Birdcage. The secret weapon a flock of fashionistas rely upon to teeter upon 10cm stilettos all day long at the races.

Botox and filler injections for the feet are the latest crazes in cosmetic surgery to make their way to Flemington – and the solution, according those with cash to splash, to the old racing conundrum of how to wear those towering pumps and not end up carrying them home after the final race has been run.

For about $1500, some doctors, such as Bondi-based cosmetic surgeon Michael Zacharia, will inject hyaluronic acid (Restylane) into the balls of the feet.

The fluid, commonly injected into joints to treat osteoarthritis, numbs the parts of the foot that become strained by wearing sky-high heels.

And judging by the height of the footwear that was racing out the door of Melbourne boutique Miss Louise yesterday, 10cm heels will indeed be spotted around the Birdcage today.

Dr Zacharia, who has been doing the procedure for just over a year, said the foot filling provided “internal padding for the feel at that point of pressure underneath the balls of the feet. Instead of using those silicon pads inside your shoes, this is an internal way of doing it.”

The procedure, however, is a lot more expensive than purchasing a pair of silicon inner-soles. At $750 per foot, the fillers will last for about six months.

Dr Zacharia said three or four people this week had told him they wanted the foot fillers for the Spring Racing Carnival, but he warned those considering the treatment that the sensation immediately following the injections could be uncomfortable.

“I’ve been told that for about 10 minutes afterwards it feels like you are walking with marbles in your feet, or it’s like there is something in your shoe,” he said.

The other procedure women are turning to is “bootox” – having Botox injected into the balls, arches and soles of the feet to paralyse the sweat glands, which Dr Zacharia said would also set you back about $1500.

Australasian College of Podiatric Surgeons president Mark Gilheany said while women might think the procedures were magic solutions to stiletto-fatigue, foot fillers could be masking symptoms of more serious problems.

He warned that for people experiencing a significant amount of pain standing in heels it could be a sign of partially dislocated bones or torn ligaments.

“If you require something of that (surgical) nature then you could have an underlying problem,” he said.

“It’s not something that is routinely done and I haven’t seen any clinical trials to say whether the injection of a biological cushion into the foot is effective.

“If there was anything that really worked I’m sure I would know about it. It seems like a waste of time when you can stick a cushion in your shoes and take some paracetamol.”

Medical Spa RX: Botox & Dysport

Laser Clinic MD — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:16:52 +0000

MedicalSpaRX.com sells Dysport, Ipsen’s newest introduction the the cosmetic corrections market in the USA. Dysport is starting to make an impact on doctors choices to treat your wrinkles in 2009 and going forward, with MedicalSpaRX.com offering some of the lowest pricing on a wholesale basis.

(MedicalSpaRX.com is affiliated with Medical Spa MD, the largest community of plastic surgeons, dermatologists, laser clinics, and skin clinics on the web with more than 4,000 physician members world-wide.)

Traditionally the main selling botulinum toxin product for MedicalSpaRX.com has been the ever so popular Botox that is manufactured by multinational Allergan. Until recently Botox has arguably dominated the market for wrinkle corrections performed by a medical professional, as we at MedicalSpaRX.com have noted through our sales.

Of course there has also been the option to buy and use so called “fillers” such as Restylane or Juvederm since the late ’90s, all of which MedicalSpaRX.com also supplies at discounted pricing to medical professionals.

Since its approval by the FDA this year, Dysport has slowly gained popularity with sales through MedicalSpaRX.com. Contributing to Dysport taking some of our Botox sales are several advantages in price and effects.

We have noted that Dysport can begin showing effects in the patient within one day of injection, whereas patients that have been treated by Botox have regularly commented saying that effects are usually noticed within a week of treatment, or in some cases within 2 weeks according to some doctors.

There is also a small pricing advantage in Dysport’s favor, with pricing being an average of 5-10% cheaper than the same treatment with Botox. Although the price on MedicalSpaRX.com is higher per vial than Botox, the amount of Dysport used per injection differs and the end result is a more cost effective product.

Although gaining popularity we at MedicalSpaRX.com are still seeing strong Botox sales, which tells us that we still have a very loyal following that prefer to use the tried and tested Botox.

We would suggest to medical professionals to at least try out Dysport through MedicalSpaRX.com, who has such great pricing it can’t hurt.

Laser Clinic Treatments: Botox & Dysport

Botox & Dysport are now offered at almost any laser clinic, medical spa or skin clinic that offers laser treatments. Why?

Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum Bacterium which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause glabellar lines (frown lines) that form between the brows. It’s available from nearly all medical spas and laser clinics. Botox can last up to 6 months but results may vary and you many need treatments sooner.

An initial consultation from the skin clinic physician or medical provider should be done prior to receiving treatment. This will also be the time the patient’s expectations will be set about the outcome of the treatment. Fortunately, Botox, Dysport, and Reloxin are among the most common laser clinic and med spa treatments and complications are very rare. This examination will include a review of allergies, medications and possible contraindications that could temporarily prevent or preclude this treatment.

Before an injection of Botox or Dysport, a cold pack or an anesthetic may be used to minimize discomfort to the client. The medical provider will determine the areas of injection by examining the patient’s ability to move certain muscles in the brow area. Tiny injections will be made into the muscles responsible for creating the lines.

Although there is no recovery time there may be some mild side effects at the injection site. A small amount of pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding or bruising may occur. Other reported side effects include headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop and nausea, and infection at the injection site.

Dysport Treatments (Reloxin)

Dysport is a paralyzing agent approved by the FDA that’s similar to Botox in that it’s effects and treatment are the same. It’s a botulinum neurotoxin A complex(abobotulinumtoxinA) and is approved for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults younger than 65 years of age.

Reloxin was the previous name of Dysport. Although Botox Cosmetic and Dysport function in the same manner and have the same contraindications and results, it should be known that the dosing units of the two agents differ. Botox and Dysport cannot be combined.

Contraindications for Botox, Dysport, & Reloxin:

Pregnancy or breast feeding or planning to become pregnant
Diseases that affect the nerves or muscles
Antibiotics (Gentamicin, Tobramycin, Clindamycin, Lincomycin)
Heart medications
Medications for Myasthenia Gravis and/pr Alzheimer’s disease
