Botox Injection

One of the most important issues that express the importance of the skin is the placement of human emotions in the skin. The nerve centers of pain, burning, and most importantly the sensation of touch, are located in the skin. Another important point is that the appearance of the skin is a factor and a criterion for showing health or disease. In addition to all these important factors, having beautiful and soft skin can increase your self-confidence. There are many ways to rejuvenate and maintain it. Some people feel uncomfortable with aging and the appearance of wrinkles on their face or anything that happens to their skin.

Although the structure and texture of the skin is largely determined by genetics, aging cause changes in skin texture and symptoms such as wrinkles and sagging skin will be appeared in the skin above the cheeks, in the forehead area, in the neck and lower jawline, and sides of the eyes. By aging, skin produces less collagen and elastin, which causes the skin to become drier, thinner, and less resistant to damage. Even, environmental factors like exposure to sunlight, especially in people with fair skin, dehydration, air and cigarette pollutants and toxins can lead to wrinkles.

These changes in face and neck can cause discomfort and even lower self-esteem and can make a person look tired or angry. Fortunately, in this case, the most common and effective method is Botox injection and it is called the miracle medicine of the 21st century. Also, Botox injection can be used for medical problems such as chronic migraines, blepharospasm, back pain, or excessive sweating in face, hand palm, and under arms.

 Botox injection is one of the less invasive and effective methods to rejuvenate the skin and is used to treat horizontal wrinkles on the forehead, sides of the eyes and the sides of the mouth. Botox can also be used to treat the appearance of the gum, excessive sweating, deep lines on the neck and migraines.

Botox and botulinum toxin have been used in medicine for about 50 years to treat various disorders, and in the last 15 years, cosmetic applications have been added to Botox applications. Research and studies on Botox show that this method is safe, low cost compared to similar cosmetic procedures, high and fast effectiveness, and not severe and annoying side effects. Besides, in Botox injection there is no need for recovery period and severe and annoying side effects.

The main cause of moving facial wrinkles is muscle movement. Botox is an injectable drug that destroys skin lines by paralyzing muscles. It is made from botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily paralyzes muscles. Botulinum type A, from which almost all Botox injections are made, is a nerve toxin or neurotoxin that can temporarily disrupt nerve function. The voluntary muscles of the body (such as those in the face) contract if the message of contraction reaches them from the brain and through the motor nerves. If botulinum toxin is present in the muscle, the motor nerve function is impaired and the muscle is paralyzed.

Botox Injection Safety

According to the FDA, the Ministry of Health of Iran and almost all regulatory agencies for treatment and health, Botox injections for therapeutic uses or skin rejuvenation are known to be safe and secure. According to studies, only 3% of adults who receive Botox injections experience severe side effects. In many of these cases, the cause of the side effects is the injection of medication by non-physicians or the use of inappropriate substances.

In 2002, the FDA approved the use of botulinum type A to eliminate lines between the eyebrows. In 2013, the use of Botox to treat wrinkles on the sides of the eyes (crow’s feet lines) was also approved by the FDA.  In 2016, more than 4.5 million people used Botox to get rid of facial wrinkles. In recent years, Botox injections have also topped the list of skin rejuvenation methods.

Today, Botox is available in different types and with different names in the market, all of which are used for beauty treatments. Only a specialist can determine the suitability of Botox injections and the best type to achieve the desired results.

Does Botox injection hurt?

The pain caused by Botox injections is very minor and is caused by the insertion of a very thin needle into the skin and no more. It generally takes three to seven days for the effect of Botox to appear completely on the injected areas. Of course, this period can vary from person to person and can last up to 2 weeks. After 2 weeks when the effect of Botox on the injection sites was determined, some areas may need to be repaired. (At the discretion of the doctor)

Botox Effect Time

Immediately after starting treatment, Botox in any condition takes from one to ten days to heal, and on average, it takes about three to eight months; because this is the amount of time it takes your body to make new receptors in the muscle.

Durability of Botox

The effects of Botox last for 3 to 6 months, during which time the effect can vary from person to person (the duration of the Botox injection depends on the depth and amount of wrinkles, the injection site, as well as the age of the people). With the gradual return of muscle activity, the lines of wrinkles reappear and may need to be re-injected; of course, it is better to ask your dermatologist to guide you in this matter (injection intervals). Also, if you go to a good and specialized clinic for Botox injections, there will be a guarantee that the effect of this beauty measure will last longer.

Pre- examinations necessary for Botox Injection

The dermatologist you consult with for Botox injections will advise you on all the steps you need to take before this cosmetic procedure during the initial examination and consultation. In general, the most important preventive care before Botox are:

  • It is best not to drink alcohol or smoke for at least a week before the Botox injection. The ingredients in these products can negatively affect your recovery process and increase the swelling or bruising caused by Botox injections.
  • You should reduce the use of medications such as aspirin for one to two weeks before Botox injections, as these medications are known to be blood thinners and can increase the amount of bleeding during or after Botox injections.
  • It is also better to take anti-inflammatory drugs before the cosmetic procedure is limited to reduce the bruising caused by the injection and the time required to get rid of it. (Reduction of drug use must be done according to the doctor’s recommendation).

Side effects of Botox

Each aggressive and non-invasive cosmetic procedure can have its own side effects and consequences. Botox injection is a suitable and effective method for removing facial wrinkles, which is completely safe and without the need for surgery and only with a simple injection. For this reason, the only side effects that can be considered for this cosmetic procedure are the side effects caused by the needle entering the skin, which are:

  • Temporary bruising is one of the most common side effects of Botox, and some people may experience headaches that resolve within 24 to 48 hours of the injection.
  • Swelling at the Botox injection site can also be considered a common complication of this procedure, but your doctor will give you the necessary instructions to reduce the severity of this complication after the injection.
  • If Botox is not injected by a specialist doctor in the defined areas, there may be risks, the most common of which is drooping eyelids.

Post-Operative Care of Botox Injection

Redness and edema (swelling) is the body’s natural response to any treatment. These side effects are usually mild to moderate, go away in a few hours and do not require treatment. The severity of redness and edema depends on the amount of Botox injected and the thickness of the injection needle. Prevention of these complications depends largely on the physician’s experience. The use of quality needles, slow injections, and small amounts of Botox are some of the things that can reduce the severity of redness and swelling.

  • It is best to use an ice pack covered with sterile gauze immediately after the injection to reduce the risk of bruising in some of the injected areas.
  • Do not bend forward after Botox injection. Do not touch or inject the injection site.
  • If Botox is injected into the face, it is best to avoid sleeping for 5 to 8 hours.
  • It is best to avoid taking a shower immediately after the injection on the same day (it is recommended to take a shower before the injection so that you do not need to take a shower for 1 day)
  • Do not use creams or cosmetics immediately after the injection, as the infection may spread from the injection site to the skin due to the increased risk of infection (the use of cosmetics and creams is not allowed the day after the injection)
  • It is best to avoid strenuous exercise for 7 to 10 days, which may put pressure on the facial muscles, such as diving or weightlifting. It is also best to avoid swimming – dry sauna and steam for a week.
  • Doing light exercise (such as gentle walking) or exercising without jumping for two to three days after the injection is unobstructed.
  • It is best to avoid alcohol, cigarettes and hookah for a few days (according to the advice of a specialist).
  • Avoid applying pressure to the injection sites. Do not massage these areas in any way.
  • If you want to do another injection in the area where you have previously had Botox and a short time has passed since the Botox injection in those areas, including filler injection, PRP injection and… it is better to tell your specialist doctor.

What to Expect After Recovery

Usually, three or five days after the injection, the wrinkles gradually disappear, and this lasts for three to six months. After this time, the effect of Botox disappears and the wrinkles will appear again. At this time, it can be repeated if the injection is desired.
