Dr. Navarro:

The procedure takes about 20 minutes. Usually, in this office, we give 40 injections in each treatment session. If you want, you can have double treatment. That’s 80 injections or more, and it takes about 20 minutes, and the treatment sessions can be repeated few times a day, once a week, etcetera. People that fly in for the treatment we treat two, three, or four times in a single day, two or three days, so we can achieve very good results in two or three days. And people that live in the neighborhood would come usually once a week, or some people cannot afford it, once every two weeks.
