As one of the most commonly used drugs for cosmetic injections, Botox is well known by beauty seekers for its face slimming and wrinkle removal effects, but it is much more than that. Previously, we introduced Botox to prevent breast implant contracture (to learn more, click to see the plastic surgery industry “aspirin” – Botox treatment of breast implant contracture), today to say its other “magic skills”! No.1 Eye crooked mouth depends on it Botulinum toxin type A was first used for the treatment of blepharospasm, facial muscular spasm, it can paralyze the corresponding muscles to improve vision and rebuild the symmetry and balance of the face, so Botulinum toxin can be adjusted to adjust asymmetric high or low eyebrow, crooked mouth, etc., to rebuild the relationship between the symmetry of the two sides. No.2 Slim Legs and Shoulders For muscular calves, Botox can be injected locally into the hypertrophied gastrocnemius muscle to reduce the circumference of the leg and eliminate the muscle bulge, so as to effectively achieve the effect of slimming calves and shaping the calves. Generally Botox can make the muscle shrink 1-1.5 centimeters, and you can feel the change of calf curve after two weeks. The calf line becomes smooth after injection Botox injected into the trapezius muscle can not only improve the shoulder line, the length of the neck exposure increases after the atrophy above the trapezius muscle, and it is also a good medicine for short-necked star people. It should be reminded that the muscles in the legs and shoulders are much thicker, the effect is slower to appear than in delicate areas such as the face, and the dosage of Botox is more demanding. We should have enough patience and continuous multiple injections to finally achieve satisfactory results. No.3 The new nemesis of axillary odor Once upon a time, surgical removal of sweat glands was the best solution to treat axillary hyperhidrosis, but the traumatic surgery and slow recovery also deterred many patients. Later, the emergence of laser let patients who dare not easily try surgery see the light, less traumatic than surgery, faster recovery, while the reduction of armpit hair is also a good side effect for girls. Now, Botox treatment for armpit odor is truly minimally invasive and has no recovery period. Through local multi-point injection, it inhibits the secretion of sweat glands, thus reducing or even eliminating the odor, and one injection can keep it for about 6 months, perfect for the summer. No.4 Remove wrinkles, shrink pores, reduce oil secretion In recent years, domestic research has found that by injecting botulinum toxin into the patient’s face subcutaneously at multiple points and in microdoses, it can accurately eliminate the dense fine wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, outside the eyes, and the corners of the mouth in a short period of time, improve the roughness of the facial skin, reduce the size of pores, and make the skin glossy and elastic. In addition to direct Botox injections, Botox can also be added to hydrafacial injections. Hydrafacial injections work into the dermis and are able to loosen the erector spinae muscle in the dermis, thereby minimizing pores. In addition, Botox can also inhibit the epidermal sweat glands, reducing the production of oil in the skin and improving large oily areas. If you don’t know what hydrafacial injection is, you can go to “hydrafacial injection, specializing in all kinds of brown skin”. No.5 Improvement of nipple inversion Nipple inversion is a common breast deformity, the literature reports that 2% of women can see, bilateral more than unilateral. It not only affects aesthetics, but also leads to breast milk stagnation, mastitis, breast abscess, and is one of the risk factors for breast cancer. One of the causes of nipple inversion is nipple and areola smooth muscle dysplasia, muscle fibers pull backward. For patients with mild nipple inversion, botulinum toxin A injection can be used in conjunction with physical traction to paralyze the backward pulling muscle fibers, which can lift the nipple and enlarge the areola. Botulinum toxin A injection can also enhance the surgical effect when correcting inverted nipple. No.6 Keloid scarring: Research has found that injection of Botulinum toxin A into the muscles around the wound before surgical closure of the wound can cause relaxation of the muscles around the wound, reduce the activity of the muscles around the wound, decrease the tension, and promote the healing of the wound, thus reducing the degree of wound scarring and keloid hyperplasia. For patients with surgical skin grafts, localized botulinum toxin injections can also reduce the contracture of the grafted skin piece. At present, there are only two kinds of botulinum toxin approved in China, which are Hengli from Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products in China and BOTOX from Allergan in foreign countries. China is the third country, after the United Kingdom and the United States, to produce its own products for cosmetic use of botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin has a smaller dispersion, suitable for wrinkle and other precise injections, fewer adverse reactions, and the effect is maintained for a longer period of time; Hengli, due to the larger dispersion, is suitable for larger muscles and its own fine degree of injection is not demanding, such as thinning the face, thinning the legs, and Hengli is cheaper, more cost-effective. Finally, we remind you that if you need to inject Botox, you must go to the regular medical institutions, do not be greedy.
