What conditions can Masseter Botox treat?

What is a lip flip and what are its effects?
A lip flip is a procedure offered by Dr. Kay that provides a natural way for lips to appear fuller and more pouty without adding volume or creating a 'filler look'. It is suitable for individuals with natural lip volume who desire more poutiness. The procedure works by rolling the lip forward, causing it to pout outward, especially in the outer corners. Dr. Kay's technique involves applying an extra drop of product to the outside corners of the lip. Patients should be aware that some individuals, particularly those with weaker muscles, may experience temporary difficulty using a straw after a lip flip.
What are the benefits of cheek filler with Dr. Kay?
Lifting the heavy apple of the cheek with filler is one of Dr. Kay's favorite procedures. It helps take weight off the nasal fold, reduces drag off the eye, and creates a gorgeous, model-esque cheekbone pop. Dr. Kay recommends considering cheek filler if you are looking for a subtle lift.
How does Dr. Kay treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?
Dr. Kay treats excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, in areas such as palms, feet, scalp, or armpits. While medical-grade antiperspirants can sometimes help, Botox is presented as a solution if these have not been effective. Research indicates that Botox injections in these areas can decrease sweating by 85%.
How does Dr. Kay correct lip asymmetry?
Dr. Kay's practice fixes lip asymmetry using lip filler to add volume and projection, aiming for natural, sexy results. The practice can also surgically remove mucous cysts or mucous seals if present.
