Botox Palmetto Bay

Remove Facial Wrinkles For A More Youthful Appearance

Botox is widely used to remove facial lines, frown lines and forehead lines. Botox Palmetto Bay is offered at Miami Center for Dermatology. Dr. Longwill and staff are devoted to provide the best services using the latest technology.

Botox (onbotulinumtoxinA) is injected into the skin to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating (severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis) when medicines used on the skin (topical) do not work well enough in people 18 years and older. Many insurance companies cover the botox treatment for hyperhydrosis but it is recommended to come in for a consultation first to see if you are a good canditate for hyperhydrosis as well as checking if your specific insurance covers the treatment. Miami Center For Dermatology always offers Botox Palmetto Bay.
