Microbotox as a last ditch effort

[antwantsclear]

The only place I found in Ireland that specifies it as a rosacea treatment is all the way in cork and I'm in Dublin. Did you ever have *negative* effects from the Botox?

The key point with this treatment that a lot of doctors who provide botox in general do not understand is that the point is not to hit the veins with the needle. The point is to create a layer of botox transdermally in the flushing zone. If you inject inflamed veins in the wrong places this can damage the already impaired rosacea affected veins. That's the main problem I've had.

So if they damage the vein the flushing worsens?

In my experience the risks are far less than IPL or laser treatments. You really want to use experienced doctors to do this treatment. Always have a consultation first even with someone you think is good and ask your questions, see what you think, then come back another day for the treatment. Don't have the first treatment at the first consultation - give yourself some time to think are you happy that this doctor goes ahead and does the treatment. You could also ask for a small area to be done first. Also, you can choose areas for the botox that are less visual e.g. around the very edge of the ear (e.g. the pinna) or around the folds of the nose (don't have it on the nose itself I'd suggest). The injections need to be in places where it will influence circulation in a way that improves the rosacea flushing/redness - they don't need to be necessarily on the reddest or most inflamed areas - it can be very effective injecting around these areas.

I'll be interested to know how you get on with this. There seems to be an excellent doctor in Glasgow that has developed his own device to get the Botox to the correct depth to target rosacea flushing. Sadly im nowhere near otherwise id definitely go and see him.

I think this is the doctor you mean in the link above - Dr Bong? I've not heard of him before. The doctors I'm aware of that do it are Dr Montero in Burnley and Dr Stefanie Williams at Eudelo (very expensive).

It would be useful if people post here of any doctors that they think do a good job. Most botox injectors will probably 'have a go', but I'd suggest you really want to be in experienced hands of someone who understands how the blood flow works in relation to rosacea, and also how the treatment can damage the delicate inflamed rosacea veins if you inject in the wrong place.

You can offer your wife Botox. You will only pay $ 200 for this. This is a good way out for those who want to change their appearance.

I'm so sorry to hear that you've had such a difficult time finding relief for your rosacea. It sounds like you've really tried everything!

Hi! It's been a while, and I'm wondering how's it going now and did botox help you. Understandably, you may have felt hesitant about trying cymbalta and are willing to give micro botox a try as a last-ditch effort. If the treatment never helped, I suggest checking out onsitemedspa.com, which helped me fight my terrible acne.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggle with neurogenic rosacea and the difficulty you've faced with finding effective treatments so far. It's understandable that you may feel hesitant about trying new treatments, including Cymbalta.
Microbotox is a relatively new treatment that involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into the skin. It's thought to work by reducing inflammation and flushing in the skin, which are key symptoms of rosacea. While there isn't a lot of research on its effectiveness, some people have reported positive results with microbotox for rosacea.
I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming microbotox treatment. It's important to have realistic expectations and to remember that not all treatments work for everyone. It's also a good idea to discuss any new treatments with your healthcare provider before trying them, to ensure they're safe and appropriate for your specific condition.

No offense but nothing works. There is no cure for rosacea. There is no cure for pretty much any sin condition, just managing tools. Stop with the gaslighting and false hope.
