Botox - how to avoid the undesirable effects of treatment?

For many years, botox has been mentioned as one of the most popular means of aesthetic medicine. This is also confirmed by a survey conducted by the Polish Society for Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging - 87% of the doctors involved in the study indicated that this procedure is most often performed in their offices. However, do we all know in which cases it is worth using botulinum toxin and what is the reason for such treatment?
Some of the most important questions about botox are answered by Dr. Andrzej Ignachuk, Doctor of Aesthetic Medicine, President of the Polish Society for Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging.
Where is Botox most commonly used? How did this technique develop and what are the possibilities today?
Botulinum toxin is still the most important and most commonly used treatment method in aesthetic medicine. The best, most repeatable and safest results are achieved when using botox in the upper part of the face: around the eyes, on the forehead and between the eyebrows. Recently, with better and better results, botulinum toxin treatment has also been applied to the lower part of the face: the chin, the muscles of the chewing muscle or the area and corners of the mouth.
What are its less classical and new applications in aesthetic medicine?
Quite often, especially in summer, botulinum toxin is used in the armpits, arms and legs to treat hyperhidrosis.
What does this mean and what is the reason for the famous "carotoxification" of the face? Is it a question of the amount of drug administered or the frequency of treatment?
Incompetent administration of botulinum toxin causes the face to become immobile, the skin becomes too tense, and the eyelids swollen. In extreme cases, facial asymmetry may occur. To avoid this, several rules should be applied.
First, Botox should not be administered more often than every three months. Secondly, only an experienced doctor should do this. Only too frequent administration of botox in the wrong areas and by an incompetent person can lead to undesirable consequences. With a well-performed procedure, a doctor with glasses, a reasonable patient and appropriate indications, the risk is minimal.
Are the muscles lagging behind normal performance with repeated administration of botox? Will they return to normal activities after that, and how long will it take?
With proper administration of botulinum toxin, there is no danger that the muscles will atrophy or become weaker. However, it is important to give the right amount in the right way and after a certain period of time. Botulinum toxin also helps to wean off wrinkles. That's why it's especially recommended for people who frown all the time or the area between their eyebrows. Thanks to botox, you can get used to this aging habit within 2-3 years.
What can be done if something goes wrong and the result does not match what is expected? Assuming that we choose an experienced doctor, is there a high risk of undesirable results?
If we choose an experienced doctor and do it in these standard recommended areas of the face, the risk is minimal. If there are undesirable side effects, such as asymmetry or drooping eyelid, it is usually a mistake of improper administration of the drug. In this case, if no more than 2-3 weeks have passed, we can try to fix it. Later, we have to wait until the effect disappears, which is usually about 3-6 months. Sometimes undesirable effects also occur as a result of the behavior of patients who do not follow the doctor's recommendations. odessa.natashaescort.com
