In recent years, in plastic surgery hospitals and beauty institutions, the botulinum toxin face slimming, botulinum toxin wrinkle removal wind early, and because of its non-invasive, effective and other advantages, most of the pursuit of beauty consumers are very “cold” to it. However, due to frequent media reports of various adverse reactions, most consumers love and fear. So, what is this Botox, how to use it to be effective, how to use it to avoid those reported terrible adverse reactions? The full name of Botox is botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that blocks the signal transmission between nerve endings and muscles, weakening the movement of muscles and achieving therapeutic effects. Some people may be pale when they hear the word “toxin” and have a lot of questions in their mind, such as whether it will be poisoned, blocking the neuromuscular conduction, will it paralyze them, etc. I can say for sure that this problem is absolutely safe when used within the safe dose stipulated by the state. The reasons are as follows: 1. Botox is used locally, selectively blocking the local neuromuscular conduction and will not affect other parts of the body. 2. All drugs have a half-life and will be metabolized gradually, so their effects are not permanent and will not produce permanent atrophy. Complications and causes After understanding the true nature of botulinum toxin, it is important to understand the causes of complications, so that you can have a good idea of what to expect and know when to use it and what can be used. 1, allergies All drugs can be allergic, Botox allergies occur at a very low rate, one in a short period of time after the injection, therefore, Botox injection should be observed for 10 minutes, so that the situation can be dealt with in a timely manner. 2, facial paralysis This is more reported in the media, and is also the most feared and concerned, usually occurs when facial wrinkle removal. Under normal circumstances, botulinum toxin injection for wrinkle removal targets the muscles that produce various wrinkles, such as the orbicularis orbitalis muscle that produces crow’s feet, the frowning muscle that produces frown lines between the eyebrows, the descending brow muscle that produces transverse nasal dorsal lines, and the frontalis muscle that produces frontal lines. Injecting the appropriate amount into these areas will not cause facial stiffness or paralysis, but if the injection is accidentally injected into other facial muscles, it will cause paralysis of the corresponding muscles, for example, if injected into the muscles that lift the corners of the mouth, it will cause the corners of the mouth to fail to lift or even droop, and if the injection is unilateral, it will cause severe facial asymmetry, and if the injection is too large, it will cause muscle stiffness and unnatural expression. For a mature plastic surgeon, as long as the injection to the correct site and the application of a suitable dose, these adverse reactions can be avoided, therefore, to regular institutions for Botox injection is safe and reliable. The use of botulinum toxin 1, facial wrinkle removal surgery due to excessive activity of facial expression muscle makes facial wrinkles, can be restricted by botulinum toxin injection of the corresponding muscle activity, smoothing wrinkles. (1) frontal lines frontal muscles (2) frown lines between the eyebrows frown muscles (3) nasal dorsal transverse lines descending eyebrow muscles (4) crow’s feet orbicularis oculi orbitalis lateralis 2, slimming face Due to the excessive volume of the bite muscle to produce a significant bulge in the angle of the jaw on both sides, affecting the coordination of facial appearance, the application of botulinum toxin injection there, causing temporary denervation muscle awe, reduce muscle volume, to achieve non-invasive slimming effect. 3, facial muscle spasm Some patients have facial muscle spasm due to muscle nerve dysregulation, continuous or intermittent, suffering. The use of botulinum toxin injection to block the excessively excited ground interneuromuscular conduction, can treat facial muscle spasms, improve the quality of life. 4, thin calf slender calf to give a sense of beauty, if the calf is thick, visible muscle contour, it affects the beauty of the shape, which is caused by the large size of the gastrocnemius muscle, through the injection of botulinum toxin, so that the gastrocnemius muscle part of the atrophy, can improve the “carrot leg”, so that the calf contour slim and smooth, to achieve the effect of body sculpture.
