Kim Facial Plastic Surgery

Botox is well known for its ability to take years off of our faces, but a little known fact is that it also has medical uses.

Treatment for Eye Spasms
One such use is for people afflicted with eye spasm, or blepharospasm and hemi-facial spasms. Drug treatment is not always effective for twitches of the eye and does not always lead to results that last. Dr. Kim can utilize Botox injections which often work very well and are safe to use. A few injections are made into the muscle to stop the nerve impulses that cause the eye to twitch. These non-invasive, rapid treatments can mean a world of difference to patients suffering from this embarrassing disorder. If drugs or Botox do not work for the patient, surgery is another option to consider.

Help for Excessive Sweating
Tiny injections of Botox can help those suffering from excessive perspiration of underarms and hands:

• The injections just take a few minutes to perform
• Botox inactivates sweat gland nerves.
• The treatment lasts from 2-8 months, after which a repeat treatment will be needed.
• Nine out of 10 people have found the treatment effective.
