About Botox

Botox is a very popular substance for combating age wrinkles. It is introduced by famous “stars”, politicians, businessmen to look younger. It was developed by accident in the USA and was intended as a drug to treat neurological seizures and strabismus.

The effect after Botox injection occurs very quickly, but the consequences can be sad. This substance consists of a dangerous toxin made from bacteria that can cause botulism. If such a toxin enters the muscles, they are simply paralyzed. Problems arise with facial expressions, facial muscles move poorly, and wrinkles smooth out. After this procedure, the effect lasts up to six months.

Be careful, because Botox injections can be dangerous!

What Botox injections can lead to:

  1. the occurrence of bruising and swelling around the eyes;
  2. eyebrows may sag, eyelid spasms appear;
  3. sometimes the nasolabial folds and upper lip are paralyzed;
  4. asymmetry of facial contours occurs.

Such side effects do not go away without leaving a trace, the muscles will require more and more new portions of Botox. And after several uses, your face will turn into something like a mummy.

Science is moving forward and cosmetologists are developing products with the Botox effect every day. Today, masks are very popular, and sometimes they are as good as expensive injections. Anyone can prepare such masks at home. The main thing is to use natural ingredients for this. There are a large number of such masks, we suggest you get acquainted with some of the products.

Cosmetic procedures done independently will provide clean, smooth skin without wrinkles. Botox at home is an excellent replacement for salons.

The use of botulinum toxin to smooth out wrinkles has become a popular cosmetic procedure since the end of the last century. For cosmetic purposes, a weakened neurotoxin (a product secreted by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum) is used. The main drugs used in beauty salons are Botox (USA) and Dysport (France). Now many companies around the world are actively developing products that use the effect of botulinum toxin - Botox analogue Xeomin (Germany), Argireline (Japan), creams with a lifting effect.

Carrying out “beauty injections” is not exactly a budget-friendly event; the use of a toxin may be impossible due to the characteristics of a woman’s body or fear of manipulation. But there is an alternative - you can do cosmetic procedures at home with a similar effect.

How does Botox work?

The effect that the botulinum toxin produces on facial muscles was discovered by accident - experimenters noticed that the poison immobilized their fibers, smoothing out facial wrinkles. The first attempt to use the toxin in medicine was the use of drugs based on it in the treatment of nervous diseases. Now botulinum toxin is widely used in cosmetology to correct the skin of the face and its oval.

The procedure is technically simple - according to a scheme developed based on the individual characteristics of the patient, a drug based on microdoses of the toxin is injected under the skin. The effect occurs after 2-7 days (this depends on the type of medicine that is used) and lasts several months, after which the toxin is broken down in the body (from 180 to 270 days). The procedures use extremely thin injection needles that do not injure the skin.

The main injection sites are chosen by the doctor where the facial muscles are subject to the greatest load:

  1. forehead;
  2. triangle between eyebrows;
  3. area around the eyes;
  4. nasolabial folds.

The toxin paralyzes muscle fibers, relaxing them and preventing them from contracting. As a result, wrinkles are smoothed out and a person cannot frown, causing new wrinkles.

Additional benefits of Botox

The widespread use of Botox has made it possible to identify its additional properties - to reduce painful sweating and relieve migraine attacks.

To do this, injections of the toxin are made into the armpits and feet.

The developers claim that botulinum toxin-based cosmetics have no contraindications if the procedure is carried out correctly and professionally. The dose of the drug administered during cosmetic procedures cannot harm the human body - it is too small.

In case of violations of the procedure or individual characteristics of the body, the following are observed:

  1. subcutaneous hematomas;
  2. swelling at injection sites;
  3. displacement of the eyebrow line;
  4. impaired lip mobility;
  5. change in motor activity of the eyelids;
  6. constant headaches.

The best effect of Botox injections is achieved when diagnosing facial wrinkles and sagging skin.

Botox injections at home

The procedure for subcutaneous administration of drugs with botulinum toxin is technically simple and done quickly (which is why they are called “dinner injections”). There is an opinion that it can be done at home. But it should be taken into account that only an experienced cosmetologist is able to correctly assess the need for using Botox against wrinkles and possible contraindications for the procedure.

To make Botox at home you must strictly adhere to:

  1. methods of carrying out the procedure;
  2. sterility;
  3. postoperative behavior.

Otherwise, subsequent treatment will cost several times more than injections in the clinic.

You can’t do home Botox if:

  1. chronic diseases diagnosed;
  2. there are acute infectious or chronic diseases;
  3. the skin at the sites of the proposed procedures is inflamed and damaged;
  4. there is hypersensitivity to the components of the drug;
  5. was treated with antibiotics.

The procedure cannot be performed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Procedure for carrying out the procedure at home

For the procedure you need to prepare:

  1. syringes with thin needles (insulin);
  2. anesthetic gel for numbing the injection site;
  3. a bright medical marker or cosmetic pencil for marking injection sites;
  4. a set of sterile surgical gloves;
  5. Botox in a standard bottle and solvent;
  6. sterile napkins and towels;
  7. hydrogen peroxide.

First you need to mark the injection zones. Problem areas with the highest muscle tension and the presence of wrinkles that require relaxation are selected. These zones are marked with marks in the form of circles, the size of a small coin (up to 15 mm in diameter); injections cannot be made closer than this. The medicine will be absorbed into the layers of skin within these areas.

To prepare the drug:

  1. prepare a syringe (regular), draw a solvent (sodium chloride) from ampoules into it;
  2. using the needle of the same syringe, pierce the protective cap on the bottle of medicine and inject the solvent into it;
  3. check the bottle - if it is dissolved correctly, the stopper is pulled in; if there is no reaction, the medicine cannot be used. The finished product can be stored in the refrigerator for more than a day;
  4. after dilution, the drug is drawn into an insulin syringe.

Before injections, the skin is treated with a disinfectant. Botox is injected subcutaneously into areas with minor problems, and intramuscularly into the most tense areas. After injections, the skin is re-treated with a disinfectant, and the remaining medication is destroyed.

You can go to bed only six hours after the injections; for a higher effectiveness of the toxin, you should tense your facial muscles for 2-3 hours after the manipulations. Do not touch or rub the puncture sites, or wet the skin for 24 hours after manipulation.

To ensure proper spreading of the substance, you should not:

  1. wear makeup throughout the week;
  2. do not bend over for 5-7 days;
  3. use a hot bath or shower;
  4. eliminate alcohol and smoking;
  5. sunbathe and go to the solarium;
  6. use a sauna or steam bath.

Botox injections against wrinkles require high qualifications and good knowledge of anatomy; it is advisable that they are carried out by a specialist in a clinic.
