Botox in cosmetology.

Botox is a drug based on botulinum toxin A, which has proven itself in medicine as a means of blocking impulses to muscle fibers to prevent muscle spasms, tics, as well as for the treatment of hyperhidrosis, blushing syndrome, migraine. Botox in cosmetology has found its application as a tool for the control of facial muscles and a means of preventing the formation of wrinkles.

Botox preparations are injected into the area of muscle fibers that control the formation of wrinkles in the forehead, between the eyebrows, at the outer corners of the eyes, nasolabial triangle, around the mouth. The effect of the drug becomes noticeable within two to seven days. The duration of action of the drug is from three to six months, which implies repeated injections.

The action of Botox immobilizes the selected facial muscles, which causes the feeling of a mask on the face, makes the face immobile. Not all patients feel comfortable in the absence of facial expressions, but many get used to this feeling.

Botox injections are contraindicated for people suffering from diseases of muscle tissue and nervous system. Do not give Botox injections to women during pregnancy and lactation.

The side effects of Botox injections should also be considered when agreeing to this cosmetic procedure. Most often, tissue edema and headaches develop (a temporary phenomenon), speech changes (when the fibers of the circular muscle of the mouth are immobilized), asymmetric muscle paralysis (with an overdose and an unprofessional approach to the procedure), a change in facial expression (an obvious result of immobilizing the facial muscles, because it is they give the face a certain expression), psychological discomfort.

It is worth remembering that it is not the injection of Botox (after which the skin will become taut) is responsible for beautiful and smooth skin, but the health of all body systems (especially the endocrine), proper nutrition, the consumption of the volume of water necessary to maintain skin turgor, fresh air and regular skin care. For this reason, Botox injections are preferable for people at an age when the body begins to age, and natural disruptions in the work of all systems spoil the appearance of the face, which cannot be corrected on their own.
