Botox for face how it works

Botox has rightfully earned the trust of many women. It’s not for nothing that botulinum therapy is called “beauty injections.” This facial rejuvenation technique has been used relatively recently: in our country, Botox began to be used in the 90s of the last century. Botulinum therapy will help lift the corners of the eyes, the look will become more open and expressive. It perfectly corrects the oval of the face and does a great job even with deep wrinkles. The cosmetic procedure does not cause pain and does not take much time, which is very important in our age of disastrous busyness.

General information for people who doubt the possibilities of botulinum therapy

What is Botox for the face? This drug acts only on muscle fibers. It does not change the structure of subcutaneous tissue and does not worsen the condition of soft tissues.

The main active ingredient of the drug is botulinum toxin. It is a toxic substance, but in low concentrations it does not pose a danger to human health. Facial Botox is safe in a reasonable dosage: the effect of the drug is local, it affects only the muscles located at the injection site. Read more about whether Botox is harmful to the face here.

“The magic power” of botulinum therapy for the face

The areas of application of botulinum toxin are different this cosmetic product is used for the following purposes:

1. Most often, the drug is injected with Botox for wrinkles on the forehead. It is excellent at removing deep horizontal creases.
2. With the help of botulinum therapy, crow's feet are also removed Botox on the eyes removes problems that cause a lot of grief to the fair sex.

Botox is needed not only for these purposes: facial injections are also given to get rid of wrinkles in the corners of the lips. Botox in the corners of the lips easily erases the mark of the past years. The corners of the lips rise, the person regains confidence in himself and his own attractiveness.

What anti-aging techniques can Botox be combined with?

Botulinum therapy is an effective technology. It copes excellently with facial wrinkles, but if the cause of the aesthetic problem lies in sagging facial tissues and other serious age-related changes, botulinum toxin may not have a noticeable effect. In such a situation, it is necessary to use additional alternative rejuvenation techniques that have a good effect on the volume and structure of soft tissues.

After botulinum therapy on the face, you can:

1. biorevitalization,
2. mesotherapy,
3. contour plastic surgery.

These technologies are best used in combination with botulinum therapy. They do not affect muscle mobility their effect is slightly different: these techniques help renew facial skin.

An excellent result is obtained by combining botulinum therapy with rejuvenation technologies such as radiofrequency RF lifting and microcurrent therapy.

The face after Botox needs careful care: you can prepare Botox masks at home that have a rejuvenating effect. They improve complexion, prevent the formation of new wrinkles, and even out skin texture.

Contraindications for Botox treatment

It cannot be used in the following cases:

1. cancer
2. pathologies of the hematopoietic system
3. increased body temperature
4. inflammatory disease
5. the presence of an allergic reaction to its components.

How long does the drug last and how often can injections be given?

Many women are haunted by two questions: when are the results after Botox visible and how often can Botox be done on the face? The positive effect of the “beauty injection” does not appear immediately. Several days should pass from the moment of botulinum therapy: during this time the muscles gradually relax. After all, botulinum toxin neutralizes the functioning of acetylcholine receptors, which are responsible for muscle contraction. The sensitivity of nerve endings under the influence of the drug gradually decreases. After 10 days, the effect of Botox is clearly visible.

After 2 months, the effect of the drug begins to weaken after 4 months, Botox will be able to control the process of muscle contractions by only 20%. Therefore, after about six months, a woman, looking in the mirror, again notices signs of age-related skin changes. That’s when you need to rush to a beauty salon for a rejuvenating procedure.

In what cases does the effect of Botox not last?

In some cases, the drug is quickly eliminated from the body. Intense sports training can quickly neutralize the effects of Botox. Information on how many days after Botox you can’t exercise is in this article.

If the injections were performed by an incompetent specialist who failed to correctly calculate the dosage of the cosmetic product, the skin will return to its original appearance after a couple of months. In this case, you can do “beauty injections” again.

Is there a “addiction” to the drug?

There is an opinion that the muscles gradually get used to a certain position and gradually atrophy. Therefore, with repeated use of botulinum therapy, the positive effect of Botox remains for a long time.

The fact is that Botox limits muscle mobility, a person weanes himself from the bad habit of frowning. Botulinum toxin will no longer allow you to make a surprised face, quirkily arching your eyebrow. Therefore, a person does not form new wrinkles and skin tone noticeably increases.

Some young people believe that Botox can be used to prevent wrinkles. This is an erroneous judgment. Botulinum therapy should not be carried out for prophylactic purposes: it is intended to combat age-related skin changes.

You can watch the entire procedure, as well as read the recommendations after Botox injections, in this video:

Botox treatment has many benefits, but before deciding on “beauty injections” you need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. People who are actively involved in sports may be disappointed by the short-term effect of “beauty injections.” Sports training gives the figure a seductive roundness and beauty, but in everything you need to observe moderation. Intense physical exercise accelerates the removal of botulinum toxin from the body.

I am glad to welcome you again, my dear readers. Who doesn't dream of prolonging their youth? How you don’t want wrinkles to appear on your face. Unfortunately, this process is inevitable. But thank God, nowadays there are a lot of options for preserving youth. And one of them is Botox for the face, of course there are different reviews about this procedure. I can’t say that everything is super positive. So let's look at the pros and cons together.

What is Botox and how does it work?

It was discovered by American scientists in the 19th century. At that time, they were looking for the cause of botulism (an infection of the nervous system). As you understand, the substance was not initially studied for use in cosmetology. The word comes from the American botox, so it is correct to pronounce botox, not botex.

This is an A-type neurotoxin, its basis is a protein produced by the microorganism Clostridium botulinum

It is the causative agent of such a dangerous disease as botulism. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists were able to isolate a toxin from this microbe. In animal testing, the toxin was noted to relieve muscle spasms and squints. When the toxin entered the muscles, it blocked their contraction. Simply put, it caused muscle paralysis.

In 1978, clinical trials of drugs based on this toxin began. Ten years later, the American company Allergan began producing drugs with Botox. They were used to treat strabismus and blepharospasm.

Scientists noticed that in patients receiving injections, facial wrinkles were smoothed out. It has been proven that the drug is absolutely safe in therapeutic doses. And for more than 30 years it has been successfully used in cosmetology.

Dysport is also used in cosmetology for these purposes. In essence, this is the same Botox, the only difference is the concentration of the toxin. There is less of it in Dysport and this drug is produced by the French company Ipsen.

Toxin injections are administered to areas of increased muscle tone. Botox is administered subcutaneously, intradermally and intramuscularly. The doctor decides exactly how to inject and in which area. Of course, many are interested in when Botox begins to work after injection. Visible changes occur within 3-4 days. The maximum result from the introduction of the toxin appears after 2-3 weeks.

Reviews about the procedure, as well as before and after photos

In order to understand how effective this rejuvenation method is, I collected reviews. And for a visual example, I have prepared a photo for you. Honestly, some of the photos are truly amazing. It feels like the person is 10 years younger #128578

Lily: I constantly wrinkle my forehead and frown. As a result, glabellar and horizontal wrinkles appeared. I was injected with Botex in these places - my forehead is smooth, the effect is simply super! Hyaluronic acid can fill deep folds. But for facial expressions, Botox is still the answer.

Aster: Recently I was injected for facial wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes and in the area of ​​the bridge of the nose. There are no problems with facial expressions, but wrinkles do not appear. I liked it and will make it again.

Daisy: I was terribly afraid of these injections! Honestly... I almost fainted right at the doctor, I even sniffed ammonia. If you are afraid, calm down. the injection is similar to a mosquito bite. But it's worth it. I now have a very smooth forehead. I can wince, but no wrinkles form. Hurray, that's what I wanted))

Camilla: It is enough for me to inject myself once a year. I use it in the summer because I often wince in the sun. The effect lasts for a long time, maybe because I’m still 30 years old... I don’t think I’m old..))

Marina: I also injected it in the forehead area, the effect lasted for 6 months. Then all the wrinkles returned, it didn’t get any worse. just the way it was

Olesya: I was advised to inject Dysport between the eyebrows. I didn’t notice much difference with Botox. Now I can’t wrinkle my eyebrows and forehead. I really hope that the muscles will get used to not wrinkle when the effect of the drug wears off.

Margot: I was given injections into the forehead and eye area. I was delighted. somehow my whole face looked younger. They were afraid that it would be worse later, I don’t know... the action went away, everything returned as it was. The only drawback is that the effect lasted a little more than six months... although it was probably my own fault, I drank alcohol and a lot of water... The difference before and after is very noticeable, despite my 33 years. I will continue to inject

Where is Botox injected and how much does the injection cost?

Now let’s talk about where the toxin can be injected and what its effectiveness is, especially after 40 years. Typically, injections are administered into the forehead, eyebrows, nasolabial folds, lips, and under the eyes. You can also use the toxin to lift the tip of your nose and eyebrows.

Before the procedure, the amount of toxin is measured in units. How many units of Botox do you need? For each zone the number of units is different. It also depends on the condition of the skin and wrinkles, so the dosage is selected individually. I will give the average values.

(average)

4500-6000 rubles The transition zone of the nose to the upper lip 2-4 units Allows you to slightly raise the tip of the nose. 600-1600 rubles

Calculate the approximate cost of injections based on the price of 300-400 rubles per unit of toxin. Dysport is about half the price.

You can find these procedures at a good discount on Biglion and Groupon. I recommend looking at the options on these sites first. So it’s better to ask the price, and read the reviews of those who have already tried it.

Is Botox harmful for the face?

Now let's figure out why Botox is harmful to the face. Negative consequences usually occur when the drug is used incorrectly. It is very important to correctly calculate the dose and location for introducing the toxin. Professionalism depends on the cosmetologist, his experience and understanding of which points to inject. The most harmless complications are bruising, swelling and redness at the sites of botulinum toxin injection.

Other side effects may include:

1. headache
2. pain in the injection area
3. waxy face (complete lack of facial expressions)
4. penetration of botulinum toxin into neighboring muscles
5. nausea, double vision
6. Quincke's edema
7. flu symptoms
8. drooping eyelid or eyebrow.

Doctors often keep silent about the dangers of the drug. Of course, such complications occur extremely rarely. Basically, harm to health occurs due to the incompetence of the doctor. Or this may be due to the body’s individual reaction to the drug. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict this in advance.

The consequences of Botox - reviews

Of course, in addition to favorable assessments after the procedure, there are also negative consequences. In order to study this procedure from all sides, I collected negative results from injections.

Oksana: Unfortunately, I had a negative experience... I was injected with botulinum toxin in the forehead area. This is terrible... instead of smooth skin, I got drooping eyelids and eyebrows. I found another clinic, thank God they fixed everything. It turned out that the first time they injected me with the toxin in the wrong place. The moral is simple - look for a good specialist!

Lusi: My facial expression has changed... my look has become different, as if you were always walking around in surprise. Thank God the effect of the injection wore off and facial expressions were restored. I definitely won’t be getting any more injections.

Valyushka: I’m having trouble with these beauty injections... I wanted to get rid of the “crow’s feet” on the outer corners of my eyes. The specialist I went to was experienced and did everything correctly. The result was that after two days the bags under the eyes disappeared on the third day. And three weeks later I had Quincke’s edema ((I was admitted to the hospital, the immunologist told me that it was an individual intolerance.. that’s it..

Snezhana: I’m not allergic, but my experience with Botox is extraordinary. A couple of hours after the injections, I was taken away in an ambulance with Quincke's edema. no more injections((

Alenka: I was given injections in the bridge of my nose and eyebrows, it only lasts 4 months. Then it’s all over again, to be honest, it’s terrible to have to have injections three times a year. I completely abandoned this idea.

What not to do after the procedure - restrictions

In order to achieve maximum effect and the result to be visible for a long time, after injections it is necessary to observe some restrictions. In the first 4 hours after the procedure, it is necessary to maintain a strictly vertical position. You should not lower your head, this is important for the muscles. After all, after the injection of botulinum toxin, they relax and must take the correct position.

Under no circumstances should you touch the injection sites, massage them, or apply creams. It is important not to introduce infection to the injection sites. All sports are prohibited for at least 48 hours. Even measured fitness yoga and other types of physical activity are prohibited. The muscles should be at rest.

For at least 7 days, and preferably 10-14, any thermal procedures are prohibited. At this time you will have to forget about the solarium, sauna and even drying your hair with a hairdryer. The thing is that heat accelerates the removal of the drug from the body.

Swelling also nullifies the effect of Botox. For the first two weeks, try not to eat salty foods, smoked foods, or drink a lot of liquids.

As for alcohol, it is also prohibited for at least 14 days. Please take this limitation very seriously. Alcohol dilates blood vessels, in this situation botulinum toxin can be easily absorbed into the blood. This is a potentially dangerous situation for the body. Then you shouldn’t be surprised that you have complications. This also applies to blood thinners.

Botox - contraindications

Since botulinum toxin is essentially a poison, it naturally has a number of contraindications. Before listing them, I want to warn you against injections at home. Even an experienced doctor can miss the dose and injection site. What can we say about amateurs?

Trust your face only to an experienced specialist. Restoring facial expressions or, God forbid, treating angioedema will be more expensive. In what cases are Botox injections strictly contraindicated:

1. chronic diseases of the lungs, liver and kidneys
2. hernia of the upper or lower eyelid
3. drooping upper eyelid
4. neuromuscular diseases of an autoimmune nature
5. severe myopia
6. poor blood clotting
7. oncology
8. predisposition to the formation of keloid and hypertrophic scars
9. individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

When planning, as well as in the early stages of pregnancy, it is better to avoid injections. Botox during pregnancy can negatively affect the fetus. This is confirmed by more than 40 recorded cases around the world. It is also worth holding off on injections during lactation. In Europe, a study of the toxin was conducted on pregnant rats. There was a negative effect on the fetus many animals were born with pathologies of muscles and bones. Many pregnant females experienced miscarriages.

A temporary contraindication to beauty injections is fever. Exacerbation of chronic diseases, any infectious diseases, herpes. Recent facial surgery, menstruation period. Taking antibiotics, anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory drugs is also a temporary contraindication.

Well, we figured out why botulinum toxin is harmful. And also after what time you can expect maximum effect. Whether or not to resort to this method of rejuvenation is up to you to decide. If it makes you happy and gives you confidence, it's worth a try.

Yes, in addition to the facial procedure, there is also Botox for hair and Botox for eyelashes. And today I say goodbye to you, but new interesting topics await us ahead. So don't forget to subscribe for updates. Bye everyone!

A drug called Botox is a development by Allergan (USA), which is patented, so officially no other injections can be called by this name. Prohibitions did not stop the word from spreading, and today Botox refers to all products made on the basis of purified botulinum toxin type A. In professional cosmetology, this drug is widely used to eliminate facial wrinkles and more.

What is Botox for wrinkles

Botulinum toxin is produced from the gram-positive anaerobic bacteria botulinum. Botox was originally used in medicine to relieve muscle spasms in patients suffering from cerebral palsy. The drug has also been used to treat spasms of the orbicularis oculi muscles. Botulinum toxin blocks nerve impulses in muscle tissue, so during the entire period of action of the neurotoxin, the muscles remain in a static position.

While using the drug, doctors noticed that it had a side effect - it blocked facial expressions, thereby eliminating wrinkles on the face. Cosmetologists became interested in the drug, and today Botox is used all over the world to correct facial contours, eliminate excessive sweating, and restore the structure of hair and eyelashes. On sale you can find other names of drugs from different manufacturers (Xeomin, Dysport, Relatox), made on the basis of neurotoxin type A, but they all have the same effect.

How it works

Botulinum toxin injections are made into the muscles that need to be reduced in activity. Some time after the drug reaches its destination, muscle sensitivity to nerve impulses is blocked. This process leads to skin tightening and wrinkle smoothing. The effect of Botox is temporary – from 3 to 6 months. The drug does not completely paralyze facial expressions, but only relieves muscle hypertonicity.

You should not expect an immediate reaction after botulinum therapy. In rare cases, the effect becomes visible within the first 24 hours after the session. Only after a week can you notice the effect of botulinum, and it begins to work fully 10-14 days after the procedure. The toxin is removed from the body through natural metabolic processes.

Doctors recommend beauty injections at the age of 30-50 years. During this period, expression lines become pronounced, but the epidermis does not yet lose its elasticity. After 50 years, for some people, Botox is no longer effective in solving appearance problems, so in adulthood it is sometimes more rational to use other, more radical rejuvenation methods. In what cases are Botox injections indicated:

1. vertical fold between the eyebrows
2. horizontal forehead wrinkles
3. nasolabial folds (pronounced)
4. wrinkles around the eyes (“crow’s feet”)
5. creases around the lips
6. facial folds in the nose area
7. wrinkles on the chin, neck, and décolleté
8. increased sweating of the armpits.

Cosmetologists claim that if beauty injections are started even before the first wrinkles form, they will not appear at all. For this reason, young people often receive their first botulinum toxin injections before the age of 25 as a prophylactic measure to prevent skin aging. It is believed that botulinum injections are effective up to 65 years of age, but this criterion is individual, so the advisability of administering the toxin in old age can only be decided together with a cosmetologist.

Advantages and disadvantages

Botox injections, like other cosmetic procedures, have their positive and negative sides. Advantages:

1. growing effect
2. restoration of skin in the fold area
3. elimination of facial wrinkles
4. imperceptible cardinal changes
5. minimum contraindications
6. does not provoke addiction
7. lack of rehabilitation period
8. affordable price
9. combination with all cosmetic procedures.

As already mentioned, Botox is a poison, but it is contained in an ampoule in a very small dose. Although clinical studies in many countries have proven it to be safe, it is advisable to weigh the pros and cons before deciding to undergo the procedure. The main disadvantage of this injection technique is the limited effect of the injection. Unfortunately, the drug is eliminated from the body, after which wrinkles and other imperfections on the face appear again. The objective disadvantages of using Botox include:

1. low effectiveness for injections into the chin and cheeks
2. inability to get rid of deep wrinkles
3. likelihood of complications.

Is Botox harmful for the face?

Using Botox for wrinkles is much safer than any other method. Adverse reactions occur in isolated cases when the dosage is exceeded, which occurs when the injection procedure is carried out by unqualified specialists. Among them:

1. bruises
2. redness
3. swelling
4. various types of pain
5. Quincke's edema
6. nausea
7. dry eyes
8. mild headache
9. stomach upset
10. temperature increase
11. lacrimation
12. muscle weakness
13. cough
14. runny nose.

These are the most harmless side effects that do not require treatment and go away on their own within a few days. More unpleasant are the aesthetic defects that can arise due to the doctor’s unprofessionalism:

1. Drooping eyelid (ptosis). If botulinum toxin is administered inaccurately, the side effect can develop up to complete closure of the eye and asymmetry of the eyebrows. These phenomena do not pose a threat to the health or life of the patient, but disappear as the activity of the drug decreases.
2. Double vision (diplopia). Associated with the injection of a large dose of Botox too close to the orbital rim, after which strabismus may occur due to paralysis of the extraocular muscles. Normal vision is restored within 2-3 months.
3. Facial asymmetry. Appears when the dosage is incorrectly calculated or the diffusion of the drug is uneven.
4. Complete lack of effect with repeated procedures. It is explained by the production of antibodies by the immune system that destroy the poison.

How often to do

You can inject Botox for wrinkles up to 4 times a year. The duration of the effect ranges from 2 to 6 months, depending on many factors. Even if the result did not last long, the procedure can be repeated no earlier than after 3 months. This is because Botox may stop working if injected frequently. As the intervals shorten, the body's resistance to botulinum toxin increases.

The effect of the injection will vary for different people. It depends on your lifestyle. Bad habits, increased emotionality, poor diet, prolonged exposure to the beach in the sun and heavy physical activity accelerate the removal of Botox. The frequency of injections also depends on age - in youth the effect lasts longer. The duration of the result is also affected by the duration of use of beauty injections - it is believed that botulinum toxin has a cumulative effect.

With regular injection of botulinum, the facial muscles get used to a relaxed state, so the result after each repeated injection lasts longer. It is impossible to predict which factor will affect the duration of the procedure, but experts agree that repeated injections of botulinum toxin should be carried out no earlier than after three months. The more often the course is repeated, the higher the likelihood of developing adverse reactions.

Where to inject Botox on the face

The amount of drug administered is measured in units. Each zone requires a different volume of substance. The dosage is usually determined by the doctor in each individual case. Before administering the drug, the specialist asks the patient to smile, frown, and think in order to set in motion the most mobile facial wrinkles. Based on this diagnosis, markings are made on the face to determine the injection points for botulinum toxin. The average value of drug administration is shown in the table:

Vertical wrinkles are smoothed out. If they are small, then even after the end of the toxin they do not appear.

Eyebrows are corrected and horizontal folds on the forehead disappear.

Botulinum toxin is almost never used in its pure form. They are often used together with collagen or hyaluronic acid to prevent drooping of the corners of the mouth.

The area where the nose meets the lips

The tip of the nose rises.

Orbicularis oculi muscle

Deep crow's feet become less noticeable, and fine wrinkles are completely smoothed out.

Botox helps remove asymmetry, get rid of purse-string wrinkles, and lift the corners of the lips.

How are injections given?

Wrinkle correction with Botox injections is performed on an outpatient basis. The cosmetologist, in the presence of the patient, opens the injection solution, draws it into a syringe, then injects the required dose with an insulin needle into selected points on the face. If the procedure is performed for the first time, the specialist administers the minimum recommended dosage of the drug. Since the injections are painless, the area where botulinum toxin is injected is not numbed.

If necessary or at the request of the patient, the doctor uses local anesthetic drugs in the form of a cream or gel. After applying anesthetics, the cosmetologist maintains an interval of 20-40 minutes for them to take effect. Before injections, the facial skin is disinfected with an alcohol antiseptic and time is given to dry. Botox is injected under the skin to a depth of 7-10 mm at an angle of 45 or 90 degrees. The procedure takes from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of units injected.

After removing the needle, the cosmetologist can apply pressure to the injection sites to reduce the likelihood of hematomas. After the planned areas are chipped, the facial skin is wiped with an antiseptic, then a cold compress is applied to the affected areas to reduce the possible development of hematomas and avoid swelling. Upon completion of the procedure, you can immediately return to your normal daily routine, but adhere to minor restrictions.

What not to do after Botox

To achieve the longest possible effect after botulinum toxin injections, you should follow some rules. For the first 4 hours after administration of the drug, you should not lie down or tilt your head - you must maintain an upright position. This is due to the fact that the muscles relax under the influence of the toxin and can take an incorrect position.

It is not advisable to touch the injection sites with your hands, massage or apply cosmetics. These actions can cause infection and inflammation. All sports and active physical activity are prohibited for 48 hours. Even leisurely yoga is prohibited - the muscles must remain calm. In the next 2 weeks, you cannot visit baths and saunas, undergo massage and sun exposure, or go to the solarium. Any thermal influence, even drying hair with a hairdryer, accelerates the removal of botulinum toxin from the body.

Swelling can also reduce the effect of the substance, so for the first couple of weeks it is advisable to exclude smoked, salty foods and large amounts of liquid from the menu. As for drinking alcohol, it is generally strictly prohibited for 10-14 days. Alcohol-containing drinks dilate blood vessels, causing Botox to be absorbed into the blood. This is already a dangerous situation for health, in which the likelihood of complications is high.

Consequences

Undesirable results may occur if the dosage of the drug is violated or the administration technique is incorrect. Among them:

1. asymmetry of facial contours
2. loss of muscle sensitivity
3. deterioration of visual acuity
4. seals in the form of bumps and tubercles
5. spasm of the eyelids
6. impaired mobility of the upper lip
7. subcutaneous hemorrhages
8. drooping eyebrows
9. loss of natural facial expression.

Contraindications

The administration of botulinum toxin has its contraindications. You should not do Botox injections if:

1. chronic pathologies of the kidneys, liver, lungs
2. drooping upper eyelid
3. hernia of the lower or upper eyelid
4. severe myopia
5. neuromuscular diseases of an autoimmune nature
6. oncology of any type
7. predisposition to hypertrophic or keloid scars
8. poor blood clotting
9. individual intolerance to Botox.

When planning the birth of a child and in the early stages of pregnancy, it is better to avoid beauty injections so that the drug does not have a negative effect on the development of the fetus. You should not give injections while breastfeeding, when the hormonal levels are still unstable. Temporary contraindications to the procedure are elevated body temperature, infectious diseases, taking antibiotics and anticoagulants, and exacerbation of chronic pathologies.

Botulinum toxin injections for wrinkles are given today in almost all beauty clinics. The price of the procedure varies, depending on the drug used, the cost of consultation with a cosmetologist, the use of anesthetic and cream after completion of the session. Botulinum therapy is becoming more accessible every year. If a few years ago only stars could afford beauty injections, today they will not greatly devastate the family budget of a person with an average salary. Average price for botulinum toxin injections in Moscow clinics:
