Holey Tox In Seattle

Have you been dealing with chronic anal pain or bowel control issues? It can become uncomfortable, but Holey Tox offers a non-invasive treatment designed to relax muscles to address painful anal conditions. Some of the individuals who can benefit from this include people with certain medical conditions and issues related to comfort in the anal area. At Allure Esthetic, Dr. Javad Sajan offers a safer and effective way to reduce muscle spasms and promote healing in the affected area.

Anal tox is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting Botox® into the anal sphincter muscles. It is primarily selected by individuals who are facing conditions such as chronic anal pain or dysfunction, such as anal fissures, fecal incontinence, and anal spasms.

While Botox® is FDA-approved for several medical indications, such as overactive bladder and neurological urinary incontinence, its use for anal fissures is not specifically FDA-approved. However, despite not being formally approved for this purpose, Holey Tox has proven to be an effective method for treating chronic anal fissures and related conditions. ^1,2

Here’s why you should consider this treatment:

• Non-surgical treatment: Holey Tox is a non-invasive procedure and is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for several conditions. This is usually ideal for patients who want to avoid the risks and recovery time of more invasive treatments. ³
• Quick relief: This treatment provides quick relief to the patients. Relaxing the anal and sphincter muscles helps to stop the painful spasms that can accompany conditions such as anal fissures, providing quicker healing and faster pain relief. ⁴
• Minimal downtime: Botox® injections have no to very little downtime. You can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, with only minimal discomfort. ⁵
• Long-lasting results: The effects of anal Botox® are long-lasting, typically between 3 to 6 months. This factor makes it an ideal solution for ongoing relief from chronic pain or muscle spasms. ⁶

Holey Tox is a safe and effective treatment for individuals who are dealing with chronic anal pain, anal fissures, and bowel control issues. Here are some of the individuals who are ideal candidates who have:

• Chronic anal fissures ⁷
• Anal spasms ⁸
• Fecal incontinence ⁹
• Prefer non-surgical treatment ¹⁰
• Had unsuccessful previous treatments ¹¹
• Good overall health ¹²

• Consultation: Before receiving Holey Tox, you will have a consultation with Dr. Javad Sajan. Your appointment with him will cover your medical history, symptoms, and whether Holey Tox is appropriate for you. ¹³
• Procedure: Once deemed a good candidate, Botox® will be injected into the anal sphincter or surrounding muscles. A local anesthetic is used to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The process usually takes around 15-30 minutes. ¹⁴
• Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you might experience mild discomfort, swelling, or redness at the treated area, which are generally resolved within a few days. ¹⁵

After receiving Anal tox treatment, many individuals experience significant improvement in their symptoms. Here’s what you can typically expect:

• Pain relief: Most patients report a noticeable reduction in pain and discomfort within a few days to a week. ¹⁶
• Better muscle function: Anal spasms and muscle tightness are significantly reduced, allowing for a comfortable experience during bowel movements.
• Healing of anal fissures: The relaxation of the anal sphincter muscles helps anal fissures heal more effectively, reducing the pain.
• Long-lasting effects: The effects of Botox® generally last about 3-6 months, and follow-up treatments may be required.

After your Holey Tox treatment, here are some key aftercare steps to ensure optimal healing and results:

• Avoid straining: It’s essential to avoid straining during bowel movements, as it can interfere with the healing process. It’s recommended to eat a high-fiber diet and stay hydrated to maintain regular, soft stools.
• Rest and comfort: While there’s minimal downtime, it’s recommended to rest and avoid heavy physical activity for the first 24-48 hours after the treatment.
• No heavy lifting: Avoid lifting heavy objects or engaging in strenuous activities immediately after treatment, as this may strain the treated muscles.

A follow-up visit with Dr. Sajan may be scheduled to check your progress and ensure the treatment is effective.

At Allure Esthetic, Holey Tox is priced at $600 per procedure. But, the prices can vary as per the individual’s needs.
