Botex wrinkle effects, doctors reviews

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 🙂

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 is 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 approximately 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!

Every woman dreams of eternal youth and beauty. In search of that very “rejuvenating apple”, she does not hesitate to try all sorts of means to achieve her goal. Fortunately, in the modern market the range of goods is rich and the choice is wide. Among various drugs, the leading position is occupied by Botox for the face: reviews about it are in most cases laudatory and positive.

What kind of miracle remedy will help us get rid of early wrinkles? Is Botox harmful to the face? According to the manufacturers, the drug is actually natural. "Botox" is an emulsion of purified natural protein, botulinum toxin. Once in the tissue, it blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. As a result, a person’s facial muscles are in a relaxed state, and the possibility of wrinkle formation is reduced to zero. Everyone knows that the facial muscles responsible for emotions have a special structure. On the one hand, facial muscles are in contact with bone tissue, on the other hand, they are woven into the epidermis. Accordingly, when a person rejoices, cries or worries, the brain sends a certain impulse to the muscles: they contract, and the skin moves. When Botox gets into the tissue, it blocks the channel of communication with the gray matter: the facial muscles relax and no longer stretch the skin in different directions. As a result, wrinkles do not form on the epidermis.

Typically, women who are chasing beauty decide to undergo this procedure. Although among the clients of plastic surgeons there are often men. Each of them must understand: under no circumstances should you inject Botox on your face without special training! Reviews indicate that any mistake can

When you notice the first cobwebs near your eyes, do not rush to get injections for your face. Botox is not indicated for everyone and not always. It is usually recommended for use when the patient:

The procedure also helps in the treatment of hyperhidrosis - excessive sweating of the armpits, palms and feet.

At the same time, there are patients who are better off not using Botox on their face. The procedure has the following contraindications:

A repeat procedure should be done only when contraction of the facial muscles becomes noticeable. The effect of the drug lasts for 12 months, so visiting the surgeon once a year is more than enough.

At the very beginning, you come to an experienced specialist and get advice: do you need it or not. It is better to contact a plastic surgeon directly; cosmetologists do not always have enough skills to carry out a complex procedure. If the master gives the go-ahead, then you are assigned the day and hour of the operation. In front of it, a marker on the face indicates areas where wrinkles are very pronounced: a dot is placed in the place where the injection will be made. A small circle with a diameter of one and a half centimeters is drawn around it - this is the zone of distribution of the drug in the tissues. Then the injection sites are cooled with pieces of ice, after which an anesthetic is administered. The place where the injection was made is slightly pressed and massaged - this way you can protect the person from severe swelling and hematomas, in addition, circular movements help to evenly distribute the drug in the designated area. After the procedure, the patient is under the supervision of a doctor for half an hour, then he is sent home, having previously been given recommendations for facial care. Usually, a person's appearance can be changed by Botox for the face in a matter of days. You will look completely different before and after surgery.

Doctors say that it is best to inject the drug into the following muscles:

It should be noted that Botox is usually not used to eliminate hated nasolabial folds. Injections can cause the corners of the mouth to droop, making the person look like a puppet.

Many women are interested in the question: is Botox harmful to the face? Reviews from doctors, cosmetologists and patients are completely different. Some say that the procedure rejuvenated the eyes without any complications. Others point to a number of disadvantages of injections. As for the advantages, they are as follows: quick effect, formation of collagen, which maintains skin elasticity for a long time, the ability to avoid more serious surgical interventions, correction of neurological disorders and excessive sweating.

At the same time, the procedure has even more disadvantages: Botox does not remove very deep folds, and is ineffective where wrinkles are not formed by facial muscles - in the cheek area, part of the chin, and décolleté. Disadvantages also include a limited period of validity, lack of results due to the individual characteristics of the body or the incompetence of the doctor. In addition, it should be remembered that over time, the load of the “sleeping” muscles is taken over by the muscles located nearby. This provokes the development of additional wrinkles.

“Botox” for the face, reviews of which, as we see, are very different, can cause many negative reactions in the body. The consequences can be the most unexpected:

Unfortunately, Botox for the face can completely ruin your life. The consequences are often not easy to eliminate, so there is a risk of walking around with a distorted, disfigured face for the rest of your life.

Representatives of the fair sex often ask about the many nuances that accompany the procedure. The most popular questions are:

Answers to the questions of potential patients are given by experienced doctors, who, before making a final decision, advise first to try Botox analogues. Perhaps they will help you: injections will be unnecessary.

Recently, the question has become relevant: is it possible to replace Botox for the face at home with a more gentle, but equally effective drug? Some doctors are confident that there are already applicants:

Creams with the Botox effect can also serve as analogues. The result will be excellent if you use them as a preventive measure, as well as for small “cobwebs” on the skin. In other cases they may not work.

There are a lot of similar products on the modern market. Among them is the cream "CyClim" ("Botox" for the face). Reviews about it are very different: it helped some, provoked an allergic reaction in others. The manufacturer claims that wrinkles will disappear from your face; all you need to do is apply the cream to the epidermis in the morning and evening. It must be used in courses - 3 months with a short break. You can lubricate not only the face, but also other parts of the body - the décolleté area, for example. Women note that positive changes are noticeable within two weeks after actively using the product.

Cream "CiKlim" ("Botox" for the face), reviews of which are in most cases laudatory, are produced in Russia. Among its analogues, one can highlight the products of foreign pharmaceutical companies: Italian Botofit, Spanish Botosess system, French Botorelax, Swiss Botu-Like and so on. Before using any cream, be sure to cleanse your facial skin with a scrub or peeling. It should be used regularly until the desired result is obtained, as well as for preventive purposes.

Unfortunately, after the first application of the cream, there is a risk that you will wait a very long time for the effect. Compared to the same injections, the result may be less pronounced. But the cream will leave your facial expressions mobile and alive, which is a plus. For those who want everything at once, the method may disappoint. In addition, the cream is expensive - one tube will cost you the same as the procedure for treating the area between the eyebrows with a syringe of Botox.

For those who are fans of everything natural, there is an alternative. This is a Botox face mask made from natural ingredients. The young ladies' reviews about it are positive: they say that its contents can work wonders. The main thing is to use it not only internally, but also externally. According to women, a mask containing 15 g of potato starch, 25 g of fat sour cream, 80 ml of freshly squeezed carrot juice and 100 ml of warm water is very helpful. It's easy to prepare. Starch is dissolved in 50 ml of water and put on fire. As the mixture heats up, the remaining liquid is poured into it. The mass must be heated until it acquires a jelly-like consistency. Then the mixture needs to be cooled and all other ingredients added. Divide the mass into three parts and apply in three layers: apply each one when the previous one has dried a little. Wait 20 minutes, rinse and apply almond oil. This mask nourishes the skin, increases its elasticity and perfectly tones.

The honey face mask (Botox effect) has also earned recognition from women. Reviews about it are no less positive. To prepare it, you need to mix 45 g of cocoa powder, 25 g of oatmeal, 50 ml of honey and heavy cream in one container. Heat the mass until it becomes thick. You need to keep it on your face for 15 minutes. This mask has a peeling effect, it nourishes the skin and smoothes out the first wrinkles.

A wheat mask is suitable for oily skin. We do it as follows: dilute 25 g of flour with 30 ml of water. Carefully add the white of one egg, 30 ml of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt into the mixture. Mix and apply a thick layer on your face. Leave for 30 minutes, rinse off, and then moisturize the epidermis with a nourishing cream. The mask cleanses the skin well of pimples and blackheads, treats seborrheic formations, and has firming and toning properties.

Homemade facial Botox made from natural ingredients is a safe and wonderful alternative. Of course, when the skin is already lined with deep folds, it will be ineffective. Therefore, you need to start doing it from a young age: after 20 you need to practice nourishing masks, after 30 - with the effect of Botox and lifting. There is only one disadvantage of this procedure - its result is less stable, and sometimes it is not even noticeable. In addition, masks need to be done regularly - in whole courses. But believe me, if you are not lazy, then within a month your efforts will bear the first fruits.

There are many more advantages to home procedures than disadvantages. Firstly, it is safe for the skin. Secondly, effective tightening of the epidermis and its deep nutrition. And thirdly, skin rejuvenation, returning it to a healthy appearance, evening out complexion and eliminating acne. The components do not affect natural facial expressions, leaving them mobile and natural. They soften the dry edges of wrinkles and folds well, stretching them, making them almost invisible. Homemade Botox for the face is suitable for any age. Reviews indicate that both girls and older women can make such masks. You decide for yourself which tool to use. The main thing is to analyze everything in detail, study it, consult with experts, and only after that make the only correct decision.

What procedures and methods do women agree to just to remove these hated wrinkles from their faces? Every woman wants to appear younger, no matter what age she is. Today we will talk about one of the most radical means of getting rid of wrinkles - Botox.

What is Botox for wrinkles, what are the consequences, reviews and contraindications to this procedure?

What is commonly called Botox is a botulism toxin of protein origin, produced by a certain strain of bacteria.

The skin on the face is directly connected to the muscles, and if, as a result of using Botox, the facial muscles are blocked, then the skin regains lost elasticity and wrinkles are smoothed out.

Botox is used to smooth out wrinkles and restore skin elasticity

After injection with the drug, the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles stops, relaxation occurs, but muscle atrophy does not occur, since the blood supply is fully functioning.

This drug has another name - Dysport. But, in essence, these are the same thing, only different manufacturers (Botox is an American company, Dysport is a French brand) and there is a slight difference in the amount of active substance in the bottle.

Where did Botox come from?

The first mentions of it were as a poison that caused paralysis (since infection occurred through the consumption of sausages, the toxin was nicknamed botulinum, translated from Latin as “sausage poison”). However, the substance was later refined by scientists and the chemical properties were improved as a result of changes in concentration.

In this form, the toxin was used for medical purposes to treat patients with neurological conditions, to eliminate muscle spasms and cramps, and then in ophthalmology to correct strabismus and get rid of tics. It was then that they noticed that the skin at the injection sites was smoothed out and botulinum toxin (Botox) found its use in cosmetology as an anti-wrinkle drug.

Is it true, Like any drug, it has certain side effects applications (by the way, there are also negative reviews) and contraindications.

A couple of days before the Botox procedure, you should not drink alcohol.

Basic prohibitions before the Botox procedure:

1. For a day or two, drinking alcohol, which provokes the appearance of bruises, is prohibited.
2. It is recommended to stop taking antibiotics or blood thinners - they can lead to bruising.
3. It is not recommended to perform work or procedures in which the head is tilted for a long time (massage sessions, cleaning, ironing), since blood circulation in the facial area will increase, and there is a risk that the drug will be distributed unevenly.

Before using Botox for wrinkles, it is important to clarify the possible consequences. Reviews and contraindications for this rejuvenation method must also be studied in advance.

How does the procedure work?

The patient is placed in a reclining chair. Treat the skin with an antiseptic. Then the medicine is injected under the skin or into the muscle (depending on the place where it is injected) with a syringe with a thin needle.

Injections are carried out with insulin syringes, so the amount of injected toxin is considered to be the number of units injected (the syringe is graduated into units).

The dose of the drug is determined individually, depending on the age and gender of the patient

The dose of the drug depends on the gender and age of the person, and also depends on the thickness of the skin and the area where the injection will be made, on the strength of the muscles. Men are given more concentrated doses than women, since their muscle mass is larger and heavier. Patients with thick skin also receive more Botox than those with thin skin.

The dosage of botulinum toxin in the eye area is less than in the forehead or eyebrow space due to the proximity of the eyeball and less muscle strength.

The procedure lasts from 3 to 5 minutes. After the injections, the skin is covered with ice for 15-20 minutes.

The consequences of using Botox for wrinkles

Painful sensations

When getting rid of wrinkles with Botox, anesthesia, as a rule, is not used. But the pain threshold is individual, so at the request of patients, local anesthesia is used: An anesthetic cream is applied to the skin.

Shortly after the procedure, slight discomfort may appear - a feeling of weighting of the muscle. Such sensations pass within 1-2 hours.

What not to do immediately after injections

Under no circumstances should you touch the injection sites or knead them.

You should not be in a horizontal position or play sports for some time. During the week, it is necessary to exclude alcohol from the diet and the effects of hot procedures on the body (sauna, bathhouse).

Botox for wrinkles: results after time

What is allowed after the injection

You can drive the car and calmly go to work.

To ensure that the result does not bring you disappointment, throughout the day you need to tone your facial muscles.

How long does it take to see results?

For some people, the result is noticeable already on the second or third day.

The maximum effect is achieved after two to three weeks.

In what situations does Botox have the greatest effect?

Using this drug, you can get rid of:

1. vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows,
2. horizontal on the forehead,
3. wrinkles on the back of the nose,
4. fine lines and wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes.

But Botox cannot get rid of nasolabial folds or deep wrinkles on the neck. Solving these problems must be approached in a comprehensive manner.

For what age is the procedure suitable?

As a wrinkle corrector, drug Botex is approved for use for cosmetic purposes between the ages of 18 and 70 years.

But in order to neutralize undesirable consequences (it is useful to read reviews and take into account contraindications), as well as to get a good effect from the procedure, the optimal age at which to start doing these injections is considered to be the age of 33-35 years, when skin turgor begins to lose its elasticity.

After 55-60 years, the procedure must be approached extremely thoughtfully and with caution, as the risk of side effects increases.

Botext for wrinkles

Why should I use Botox again in the future?

This need arises, but in a positive aspect. If after the start of injections the effect lasts from four months to six months, then after a long period of use it lasts up to a year, and sometimes even longer.

After stopping use of the drug, the effect gradually weakens and muscle movements return to normal. Another advantage is that the very habit of frowning and moving the eyebrows, which leads to the appearance of facial wrinkles, disappears.

Consequences and side effects

The procedure using Botox injections effectively eliminates wrinkles (follows from numerous reviews), and the supposed complicated consequences are not directly related to the composition of the drug. They occur if the injection site or method of administration was chosen incorrectly, the wrong dose was selected, contraindications were not taken into account, or sterility was not maintained.

Most often they complain about:

1. feeling of pain in the area where the drug is administered (approximately 1.3%),
2. headache (5%),
3. feeling of numbness at the injection site (less than 1%),
4. allergic reactions (1%),
5. double vision (2%),
6. swelling of the eyelids (1%).

There are rarely complaints of nausea. In addition, if the drug is administered in excess, the face may appear to have a “mask” effect, however, over time (3-4 months) all this goes away.

Pregnancy and lactation are one of the contraindications to the use of Botox

Are there any contraindications for injections? Any intervention in the human body, even such a simple procedure as an injection of Botox for wrinkles, has consequences. Reviews and contraindications should be taken into account by patients.

So, contraindications to the procedure:

1. The procedure is not performed for people diagnosed with myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness) or hemophilia (slow blood clotting).
2. The procedure is also contraindicated for women during pregnancy and lactation.
3. Also prohibited are patients with skin diseases, chronic lung diseases, renal failure, any acute illnesses, as well as elderly people with soft tissue problems.

Cost of Botox rejuvenation procedures

Injections into the area between the eyebrow folds and the outer corners of the eyes are most often in demand. Their cost is approximately 6,000-7,000 rubles.

Eliminating wrinkles on the forehead is more expensive - about 7,000-8,000 rubles.

Is Botox effective in treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

Botulinum toxin prevents the generation of impulses not only in muscle tissue, but also in the sweat glands, thereby reducing the process of sweating.

Botox is also used for hyperhidrosis

After subcutaneous injection of Botox, sweating stops on the 3rd day.

The results of the procedure last for a year. The body's thermoregulation is not impaired, and using the drug even leads to an improved skin condition: it becomes more hydrated.

Since injections into the palms, soles of the feet and armpits cause the greatest pain, before the procedure the skin is coated with an anesthetic composition.

The price for treatment for hyperhidrosis (armpits or palms) varies from 30 to 40 thousand rubles.

Procedure Botox for wrinkles, despite the consequences, reviews, contraindications, has become widespread, and not only girls and women use it, but men have increasingly begun to resort to beauty injections. Basically, these are people of creative professions and people of show business, because for them a face is an indicator of success.

After Botox, the habit of frowning, which causes expression lines, disappears

To summarize, it should be noted that in order to carry out a successful procedure for getting rid of wrinkles with Botox injections, so that it does not cause any complaints and does not lead to disastrous consequences, you should visit only licensed and reputable salons and clinics with a positive reputation and reviews and remember about contraindications to the procedure .

By trusting non-professionals (who may neglect sterility and the correct dosage of the drug), you can deprive yourself of health and beauty.
