Botox Beyond the Forehead: Bulky Muscles & Sweaty Situations
3d ago00:37:26Tap to summarizeRemember Kokomo's, the all-ages club in Irvine? If you were old enough to actually BE there (underage, no GPS, no cell phone in sight), it's time for Botox! This episode dives into the ways Botox is used BEYOND the forehead. We're talking bulky areas like the trapezius muscles, platysmal bands, and the masseter (jaw), plus armpits and palms for excessive sweating. A skilled injector will confidently treat these off label areas, so make sure to ask about these unique places to treat at your next injectable appointment. We've said it once and we'll say it again: Botox is a miracle drug!

Does your bestie or coworker keep going back to the same provider, over and over, like she's in a committed relationship with them? That loyalty says more than any ad or amount of IG followers ever could.

We use them at The Treatment every single day!The right injector will also tell you the truth: there is only so much cheek filler can do. We are not here to take your money for something that will not move the needle. We will refer you to a surgeon who will!
