Neurotoxins
A commonly performed procedure, neurotoxins is injected into muscles to treat deep, severe lines by blocking their nerve impulses to weaken the muscles. By weakening the muscles, the wrinkles relax and the skin smooths. Neurotoxins is also used to treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Neurotoxins blocks the nerves which notify the eccrine glands to produce sweat. Affects have been known to last anywhere from four to fourteen months depending on the severity of the hyperhidrosis the patient suffers.
Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy has been used since the 1930s to treat spider veins in the legs. Patients will meet with a dermatologist who will determine whether not they are a candidate for this treatment. Once a patient has been cleared by a dermatologist, the doctor will inject a salt solution into the varicose veins of the leg causing them to close. Over the course of a few weeks, the body will then absorb the useless vein and it will disappear. Some discomfort is normal, and most doctors recommend wearing compression socks or hosiery after treatment to lessen discomfort and quicken recovery time.
