What is Botox the wrinkles, what are the consequences of this, check-ups, and the contraindications of this procedure?
What in common parlance is referred to as Botox is a botulinum toxin protein is produced by certain types of bacteria.
The skin on the face is directly connected to the muscles, and, if the result of the application of Botox muscles of the face are blocked, the recovery of skin elasticity, wrinkles.
After the injection of the drug, the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles stop, I feel relaxed, but the muscle atrophy does not occur because the blood supply is fully operational.
This drug has another name – Dysport. But it is, in fact, be one and the same, just different manufacturers (for Botox — an American company, Dysport is a French brand), and a small difference in the amount of the substance in the bottle.
In which Botox?
The first mention of it, it was like a poison, which caused paralysis from the infection occurred in the consumption of sausage, a toxin called botulinum, in the translation of the Latin word for "sausage poison"). Later, however, the essence of which is refined by the researchers, and the improvement of the chemical properties with the change of the concentration.
In this form, the toxin had been applied for medical purposes for the treatment of patients with neurological status, it can eliminate the muscle spasms and cramps, and then, in ophthalmology for strabismus correction, and getting rid of the ticks. It was then I noticed that the injection site, the skin was smooth, and botulinum toxin (Botox) is the result of its application in cosmetics as a remedy against wrinkles.
However, as with any drug, it has certain implications for the application (there is, by the way, and the negative feedback) and the contraindications.
The basic restrictions are prior to the procedure of using Botox:
- A day or two to prohibit the use of alcohol, causing the appearance of a bruise.
- It is recommended to cancel the reception of antibiotics or blood-thinners – they may be able to cause a bruise.
- I do not advise to perform an act or a procedure by which the manager is going to take a long time to move (massages, cleaning, Ironing) because of the circulation of the blood in the area of the face will increase, there is a risk that the drug will be distributed differently.
Before you can log in to boteks wrinkles, it is important to clarify the potential consequences. Reviews and contraindications to this method of rejuvenation, it is also necessary to learn about it in advance.
How is the procedure
The patient lies in a reclining chair. The treatment is carried out at a skin antiseptic. Then, under the skin or into a muscle (depending on where it is administered) syringe with a fine needle injected drugs.
The injections are fine needles, and therefore, the amount of the toxin is considered to be the number of units (on the syringe graduations per unit).
The dosage of the drug to sex, and the age of the person, and also depends on the thickness of the skin and the area where the injection will be done by the power of the signal to the muscle. The men were more concentrated doses than women because of muscle mass, and they become more and more difficult. Patients with thick skin, also, it injects a larger quantity of Botox by those who are thin-skinned.
The dose of botulinum toxin into the eye is less than the area of the forehead, or the area between the eyebrows due to the proximity to the eye, and the less the muscular force.
The duration of the procedure lasts for 3 to 5 minutes. After the injections the skin, overlaid with the ice in about 15-20 minutes.
