The basics of Botox

Botox can solve the problems —- Indications: 1. Power wrinkles. Mainly including forehead lines (head lift), interbrow lines (Kawasaki lines), crow’s feet, transverse nasal lines, rabbit lines. 2, muscle hypertrophy caused by the contour changes. Mainly including bite muscle hypertrophy (face slimming injection), gastrocnemius hypertrophy (thin calf). 3.Lifting. Mainly including neck lifting, eyebrow lifting, mouth lifting. 4.Hyperhidrosis. It mainly includes the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis, hyperhidrosis of palms and feet. 5.Prevention of scar growth after surgery. 6, Others: gravelly changes in the chin, dewy smile, etc. Adverse reactions and risks: 1. Local: pain, edema, erythema, petechiae, transient numbness, abnormal sensation after injection. Most of them do not require treatment and disappear naturally. 2. Systemic: nausea, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, urticaria, severe allergic reactions, requiring emergency and special treatment. Rarely occurs. 3. Functional: ptosis, strabismus, ptosis of the eyebrows, obvious bilateral asymmetry, crooked corners of the mouth, eyelid ectropion, salivation, and lip movement disorders may occur after periocular injections. Contraindications to botulinum toxin injections: 1. Allergic body, history of allergy to botulinum toxin or human albumin or biogelatin is prohibited. 2. Contraindicated in patients with myasthenia gravis. 3. Patients with ptosis are prohibited from having injections around the eyes. 4.Injected local skin with active infection is prohibited. 5.Severe cardiopulmonary, hepatic and renal diseases, and infectious diseases are cautioned. 6, Pregnant or lactating patients are prohibited, and contraception within 6 months after injection. Mechanism and requirements: 1. Botulinum toxin is a natural purified protein that acts on the neuromuscular junction and affects the release of acetylcholine from the nerve junction, resulting in a weakening or decrease of the local muscle contraction force. The facial expression muscle produces expression lines when contracted, which is what we often call power wrinkles, and its performance on the skin, the skin is only the receptor of the movement performance wrinkles, when the skin is good elasticity, a short amount of expression muscle contraction will not have the risk of permanent wrinkles, with the termination of the expression movement, power wrinkles disappear with it, and the skin regains a flat and smooth appearance. However, long-term large amount of frequent muscle contraction exceeds the skin’s ability to recover itself, and the skin will produce permanent wrinkles (which will not disappear even without expressive movements). Therefore, the significance of Botox treatment is to eliminate the short-term muscle contraction performance of power wrinkles and prevent the long-term due to repeated muscle contraction caused by more than the skin self-repair power excess wrinkles. 2, although it seems that microplastic treatment is low trauma, the operation seems simple. But it also belongs to the medical operation, in fact, still need to have high requirements for the operator and the environment. First of all, the requirements of the drug, the current domestic qualified with a formal source of botulinum toxin drugs only two, one for the domestic Hengli, Lanzhou Biological Products Institute Limited liability company under China Biotechnology Co. The second is BOTOX, produced by the United States Allergan, Inc. In addition to the rest of the so-called botulinum toxin products at this stage, do not arbitrarily say that the quality of the problem, at least the way to questionable. The second is the requirement of the operator, the regular doctor, and is a physician specially trained in cosmetic surgery. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time, and that is why you have to be familiar with the location of the facial expression muscle and related anatomical knowledge, must be familiar with the possible risks, complications and treatment methods, must know the standard process of aseptic operation, etc., not all the personnel in the beauty salon with the needle can just tie. Again, the environment, try to choose a relatively sterile injection room or operating room treatment. It is not an open environment or just playing at home. The advantages and disadvantages of Botox treatment: 1. Advantages, relatively non-invasive, fast recovery, high efficiency, more obvious improvement. In case of unpredictable or unavoidable complications, most of them will gradually recover in 3 months to 6 months. It is suitable for young and middle-aged beauty seekers who are more economically affluent. 2, disadvantages, time-limited, advantages also become disadvantages, even if there is a satisfactory effect, the longest keep about half a year effect also gradually disappeared. Of course, other complications caused by unclear anatomical structure, unprofessional operation, and strict aseptic operation should also be placed among the disadvantages. The economic cost is high, each time the cost of 3000 to 6000 can not be consumed by every working class. Precautions before and after treatment: 4-6 hours of local braking, avoid lying flat. Do not actively or passively massage the injected area to prevent the expansion of drug infiltration area. Avoid simultaneous application of oral aminoglycoside antibiotics. 6 hours of needle eye local avoidance of water, contamination. 24 hours to avoid strenuous exercise.
