The cost also relies, perhaps more than anything else, on how many units are injected.

Each treatment should be tailored to the patient and their specific needs, Dr. Idriss tellsAllure.

This means taking medical history, pain tolerance, anatomy, age, and other factors into consideration.

So what impact could that ultimately have on your wallet?

Are there any side effects to traptox?

Dr. Fromowitz and Dr. Idriss say traptox is a safe treatment.

However, like virtually every cosmetic procedure, there are some risks to be aware of.

In these cases, you might have weakness in this muscle.

Patients with pre-existing medical conditions should make their injector aware of them.

Its worth noting that traptox is an off-label treatment, meaning its not an FDA-approved usage for neuromodulators.

How long does it take to see traptox results?

But with traptox, you may need more patience.

That is, of course, if you even get the results youre seeking.

Treatment for kyphosis typically involves a combination of physical therapy, exercises, and bracing.

Does that mean everyone who seeks out traptox will end up wasting their money?
