About Botox 1. What is Botox? Is it toxic? Botox is not as scary as its name suggests. Many beauty places refer to it as biological wrinkle removal, or genetic wrinkle removal, in order to remove the fear. Botulinum toxin is a biological product that can be mass-produced through genetic engineering methods. It is very commonly used in neurology, ophthalmology, plastic and cosmetic surgery because of its nerve blocking effects. The current dose used is only one percent of its maximum safe dose, so it is very safe. 2. How long have people been using Botulinum toxin? Only products that stand the test of time are good products, and people have been using Botox for more than 20 years. 1986, the Carruther couple in Canada used Botox to treat eyelid spasms and accidentally discovered its good wrinkle-reducing effect. The Carruther couple became the inventors and pioneers of this technology. 3. Why is Botox used to treat enlarged bite muscles? Instead of removing the muscle directly? Women with oval shaped faces are often asked for plastic surgery because of the enlarged jaw angle. Tens of thousands of jaw angle curved osteotomies are performed every year. More than 90% of these patients are accompanied by benign bite muscle hypertrophy and wish to have it reduced at the same time. Due to the difficulty in grasping the amount of muscle excision and the depth of muscle excision during surgery, not only is the result unsatisfactory, but it also tends to increase the chance of bleeding, hematoma, and infection, resulting in serious complications such as asymmetry on both sides of the face, facial nerve paralysis, dental closure, and longer-term muscle spasm. In 1994, Smyth et al. reported their experience with the use of botulinum toxin to treat bilateral bite hypertrophy, which was considered a revolutionary new method, and Smyth recommended this technique as a routine treatment for “chewing muscle hypertrophy. Botulinum toxin injections shrink and reduce the size of the bite muscle through denervation, making the treatment more complete and solving this problem, and increasing the patient satisfaction rate and the number of patients seeking treatment. The combination of Botulinum toxin injection and jaw angle surgery has obtained a good effect of 1+1 is greater than 2 in the treatment of fat face. Combined with facial liposuction, cheekbone reduction and widening methods, the fat face can be improved to a greater extent. About【Botulinum toxin injection】 Want to get a face slimming injection? First figure out which kind of big face you are! As we said before, the slimming needle is through the atrophy of muscle to play a role in slimming the face, in other words, if you have eaten fat in recent years, the face are soft meat, or that is the family genetic square face, both sides touching the bone is very obvious, then sorry, slimming face for you, may be almost no effect! 1, any fat face playing Botox have effect? The principle of Botox face slimming is simply this: the drug can block the nerve impulses of nerves and muscles, paralyze the overdeveloped bite muscle so that it relaxes, gradually atrophy occurs, the volume becomes smaller, and the effectiveness of the slim face is achieved. So, if you really have a fat face caused by an enlarged bite muscle, Botox injections are effective! For those fat faces with more subcutaneous fat, facial liposuction or removal of cheek fat pad is needed to solve; and for square faces with large jaw angle bones, bone grinding surgery is needed to do so. 2, botulinum toxin face slimming, injection once can be maintained for two years? In fact, this statement is obviously misleading consumers. After Botox enters the body, it will cause a temporary weakening or paralysis of the muscles to achieve the purpose of wrinkle removal and face slimming, but the body will gradually metabolize this drug. Therefore, the average effective time of Botox is 6 months, while the efficacy may increase appropriately after several injections, but generally none of them will exceed one year. Another point that must be made is that there is no substantial difference between domestic and imported drugs in terms of efficacy, and there is only one truly imported botulinum toxin, that is, the United States Allergan’s BOTOX, although imported drugs have advantages in purification methods and purity, but there is little difference in the duration of action with domestic botulinum toxin. 3, can Botox be permanently effective after three times? In fact, this is a wrong statement. In principle, the effect of Botox injection appears slowly, and the effect starts to appear about two weeks to a month after injection. Usually after three to six months, the treatment effect will slowly disappear, and even after three or more injections, it is not possible to set the effect permanently. Moreover, botulinum toxin injections can lead to the production of neutralizing antibodies under certain conditions, so that further use of botulinum toxin type A for wrinkle reduction will be ineffective and must be replaced by botulinum toxin types B and F. The way to prevent the appearance of antibodies is: the amount of each injection is less than 100 units, and the interval between two injections is greater than 1 month. 4.Is the effect of playing cheap Botox the same as expensive Botox? According to a botulinum toxin expert, 50% of botulinum toxin preparations on the market are “1 product split into 2 or even 3 for sale”. There are also packages of 30 units of Botox on the market, while the world’s major manufacturers have not produced this size of Botox. The price of this botulinum toxin is very low, while the price of regular manufacturers of botulinum toxin is higher. 5, any plastic surgery institutions can play botulinum toxin? No! Some personnel have no formal training at all, and injecting Botox in these places is prone to danger. Botulinum toxin injected into the muscle is easy to spread, if the amount of liquid is large, or once the site of the injection beyond the area, spread to other muscles that do not need to be paralyzed will occur some complications, is likely to cause the lowering of the eyebrows, eyelid drooping, eye bags turned out and other events, serious diplopia, swallowing difficulties, breathing difficulties and other symptoms, and even life-threatening. Although this injection process is simple, it requires the injector to be familiar with the anatomy of facial nerves and muscles and the structure of the orbital region, and has very strict requirements on the dilution level of Botox, injection site, injection timing and interval time of each injection, so the injector must be a specialist with certain training. 6.Can Botox solve all aging problems? Botox is only one of many wrinkle removal procedures, and it is not 100% effective for anyone. About [Caution] When injecting Botox, make sure to draw back blood and mark the boundaries strictly, and insist on high quality injections.
