My experience with Botox
Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2012 9:25 am
In Feb 2012: I used botox injections. Used 1 bottle for both palms. This treated me for 6 weeks only.
In May 2012: I used 2 bottles for both hands , results were (85%-90% success). I am now in July 2012 (i.e. 12 weeks) and started having sweaty palms (60% success result).
Interesting thing i noted that my feet sweating is much less, i think because mentally i know that my hand are not sweating.
Anesthesia and Pain:
1st time: performed palms Anesthesia for 2 out of 3 nerves going through the hand. The doctor used syringes which are used for insulin injections. The process was unbearably painful.
2st time: applied Anesthetic cream 10 to 15 times over approx 1 hour before the botox injections. The doctor used ice to reduce pain. Though, the process was still painful, but less than the first time.
It seems that the hand nerves are so sensitive and can feel each and every sting.
I think other doctors (may be in the US, Canada or other countries) use special injections devise which do not cause such painful experience. Please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7KXQBrV578
Cost:
Botox bottle cost approx USD 300. Doctor fees: USD 150. (this is in Abu Dhabi UAE).
Botox is painful and costly.
Other side effect: I felt that my control over my fingers is little bit weaker. For example i was not able to squeeze a lemon. (but this matter did not bother me much),
