Botox is a new cosmetic treatment method for enhancing facial appearance in adults. Nowadays It is also used in the effective treatment of bacterial infections. Often a disease known as botulism is caused due to a neurotoxin protein known as Botulinum toxin (BT), extracted from a bacterium known as Clostridium botulinum. It is mostly used in the treatment of wrinkles and skin discrepancies on the face.
Botox treatment firstly became popular as a superficial and fleeting treatment method. This method was mostly used to improve the looks of movie stars. However, nowadays it seems that BT can be very useful in treating ageing-related complications such as facial wrinkles and frown lines can be treated with the Botox method. Various drugs play a very efficient role in improving the elastic quality of the patient’s skin. Botox remains active in our faces for 4 to 5 months. And it plays a very effective part in lowering the severe case of deep wrinkles on our faces.
With the help of an experienced physician, Botox is a safe and reliable medical treatment. However, some minimal risks will be there when the drug is poorly administered. These moderate risks include:
Every treatment includes minimal side effects, in this way botox treatment also includes some side effects. Botox works mainly by lowering all the nerve signals between facial muscles and nerves. There may be little complication resulting from the injected BT, but the patient will experience the following side effects –
Avoid getting a facial or head massage for a full 24 hours after Botox. You should also not rub your face in the area of your treatment. Try not to lie down at least 3 hours after receiving Botox. Also, try not to go to hot tubs or tanning booths for at least 4 hours. This will help in preventing bruising because heat can raise your blood pressure.
It will also be good if you can resume your regular activities right after getting Botox. If you are planning to get Botox injections, avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours before the procedure. Also, don’t take blood-thinning medications and ibuprofen. This helps prevent redness and bruising.
