Blow-tox: Is it worth it?

If you haven't already heard. Botox has found yet another use. Saving the blow-out. Yes, that precious blow-out that you spent time and money on can be preserved with proper Botox placement in the scalp. The process takes about 20 minutes and involves multiple tiny injections into the scalp. These injections help prevent excessive sweating thus preserving your perfect hair.

Is it dangerous?
Not much more dangerous than regular Botox injections. Of course you could experience some of the typical side-effects but if any occur they should be very short lived.

How long does it last?
About 3-4 months

How much does it cost?
One session can cost up to $2,000 and should consist of about 100units of Botox or Botox-like product (xeomin/dysport). A reasonably priced session should be about $1200-$1500.

Any extra benefits?
Wait, if I don't sweat, isn't that bad? Nope, you excrete the majority of your toxins in urine and feces!

Why Would I ever?
Well, I cannot endorse this treatment except for certain circumstances. If you are leaving the country and cannot get your hair done while away, this may be a viable option for you or maybe you just really like your doctor more than your hair dresser.

Fun Fact!
Botox has been used in bladder cancer, stomach cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, and chronic pain syndromes successfully.
