Hello Dr. Irwin, I used to be questioning you probably have any ideas round micro botox for facial erythema. I’ve seen a number of articles on it and as somebody who was not helped by IPL, V-Beam, or beta blockers, I am determined for an additional therapy possibility for facial flushing. Thanks a lot.
I feel this time period is complicated for shoppers. For instance, these of us who’ve been proponents of a really “pure” look with these muscle relaxers, have been utilizing this strategy for years. It retains some motion within the face so we are able to nonetheless be expressive. And…..it prevents that “frozen” look. Listed below are some completely different makes use of of “micro-Botox.”
Micro-Botox/Dysport for facial muscle tissue

That is very particular person, and your injector research your facial motion fastidiously earlier than injecting or deciding on the quantity you want. An excellent supplier will observe your facial expressions when frowning, for instance. And likewise the way in which your face strikes when speaking, laughing and smiling. The purpose is to make use of the smallest quantity doable to create the impact you need. Thus the “micro-Botox label.”

This was initially developed in Asia and isn’t significantly widespread right here. There’s a motive for this. The injections if finished too deeply (even a mm) could cause facial muscle non permanent leisure that mimics a stroke.
We had a affected person a number of years in the past who was working for a Korean firm. She determined to have it finished there. One facet seemed high-quality, however the R facet of her face fell. A lot had been used that it took 6 months to put on off affecting her self worth and her work. As soon as it wore off, the facial muscle tissue on that facet had atrophied from lack of use, thus particular facial muscle workout routines had been wanted.
Extra attention-grabbing and safer is the potential of utilizing an FDA accepted microneedling system (not the “residence use” gadgets) with just a little topical Botox/Dysport. It penetrates into the oil glands (sebaceous) shrinking them. Experimental nonetheless, however protected.
