There's More To BOTOX® In San Jose Than Beauty
BOTOX® is being used as more than just a wrinkle treatment at The Laser and Cosmetic Center. Dr. Melnick is using BOTOX as a potential agent for relieving persistent tension and migraine headaches, muscle spasm pain, and to treat chronic, persistent sweating.
You're probably very familiar with BOTOX Cosmetic, but BOTOX has a therapeutic line of applications that have also been approved for treatment. BOTOX has been used for many years for the treatments of lazy eyes, overactive eyelid movement, and certain muscle spasm disorders of the neck. BOTOX has also been safely used in babies with "lazy eye" disease. BOTOX Therapeutic offers amazing results with a very low risk of side effects.
Excessive Sweating
Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating can be easily treated with BOTOX in Dr. Melnick's offices in Los Gatos. Using very fine needles, BOTOX is injected directly into the muscles attached to the sweat glands of either the underarms or the hands. BOTOX renders the muscles inactive, stopping the gland from sweating. Treatments can last up to 8 months.
Migraines and Tension Headaches
In his Los Gatos office, Dr. Melnick is effectively decreasing the incidence of tension and migraine headaches in patients receiving BOTOX Cosmetic treatments. After BOTOX Cosmetic treatments, patients reported a decrease in headaches along with a reduction of wrinkles and an improved appearance. Studies show the effectiveness of BOTOX Cosmetic for migraines or tension headaches. The theory is that facial muscle contraction or tension may send a signal to the brain, which then results in events that trigger the migraine headache. At The Laser and Cosmetic Center in Los Gatos, BOTOX Cosmetic is only administered by a physician, who may help you reduce or prevent headaches.
Located near the 17 Freeway at North Santa Cruz Avenue in Los Gatos, The Laser and Cosmetic Center is a convenient stop for a BOTOX treatment on your way to or from San Jose.
