The hazards and side effects of wrinkle removal injections

Driven by many celebrities, wrinkle-removing injections, a plastic surgery technique, are becoming more and more popular nowadays, because wrinkle-removing injections can take effect quickly, allowing people to eliminate wrinkles in a very short period of time and have smooth and tender skin. Of course, if the hospital or beauty salon you choose is not formal, it is very likely that some side effects will occur after the wrinkle-removing injection, which will endanger human health. So, what are the dangers and side effects of wrinkle-removing injections?

Increased wrinkles

Improper injection of wrinkle-removing injections may cause increased wrinkles. This is usually caused by patients undergoing wrinkle-removing injection treatments in irregular hospitals or by unqualified operators. The root cause is that the operator injects too much, causing a compensatory muscle reaction (a reaction that replaces the muscles in the wrinkle removal area). For example, when removing frown lines, crow's feet increase.

Crooked eyebrows and eyes

Another common hazard of anti-wrinkle injections is crooked eyebrows and eyes. The reason for this is probably that the injection point is wrong, or the injection amount is large and the speed is fast, so that the botulinum toxin diffuses and causes paralysis of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, resulting in crooked eyebrows and eyes. Some people inject Botox to eliminate frown lines, but then find that their eyebrows droop, which also makes them look older. Obviously, this is related to improper injection volume and injection point.

Paralysis of facial expression

Many women who have received Botox injections for wrinkle removal in beauty salons have their entire faces paralyzed and expressionless, as if they were wearing a mask. In fact, this is mainly because the operator is not familiar with the facial nerves, muscle anatomy and injection sites, and uses wrinkle-removing drugs with excessive concentration and dosage, paralyzing the entire face.

Poisoning reactions such as fever and weakness

Body fever is one of the side effects of wrinkle-removing injections. It is actually a manifestation of a poisoning reaction. The reason is that the operator does not properly control the injection dosage of the wrinkle-removing injection. After local injection of an excessive amount of wrinkle-removing injection, a systemic poisoning reaction is caused. The side effects of poisoning also include fatigue, general malaise and other cold-like symptoms. The reaction to poisoning varies depending on the degree of overdose.

Avoiding local massage after the wrinkle-removing injection and asking the patient to drink more water can effectively prevent the side effects of Botox wrinkle removal.

Allergic reactions such as flushing and itching

Allergy is also a side effect that may occur after the injection of wrinkle-removing injections, including flushing, itching, and urticaria of the skin all over the body. This is related to the individual constitution of the patient and the quality of the wrinkle-removing injection medicine. Before the injection, the patient should choose a regular institution and take oral anti-allergic drugs according to the doctor's instructions to avoid allergic reactions to wrinkle-removing injections.

Strabismus

Strabismus is also one of the side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle injections, with an incidence rate of about 2% according to statistics. It may be caused by incomplete paralysis caused by botulinum toxin wrinkle removal injection. The occurrence of strabismus is related to the injection site and dosage of the wrinkle-removing injection. As the injection dosage increases, the incidence of strabismus will also increase. Mastering the precise injection site and reasonably controlling the number and dosage of wrinkle-removing injections are the basic guarantees for avoiding the side effects of strabismus.

Spots around eyes

Spots around the eyes are also a side effect of botulinum toxin wrinkle-removing injections. This type of condition occurs in people with dilated capillaries and those taking aspirin, and is triggered by wrinkle-removing injections. Therefore, patients who are taking aspirin should stop taking the drug one week before the injection and tell their doctor about their medication history.

Unconscious drooling

Wrinkle-removing injections may cause the side effect of involuntary drooling, which is a manifestation of lower facial weakness after injection. It is caused by the diffusion of the wrinkle-removing injection medicine and the probability of occurrence is relatively small. In addition to unconscious drooling, the lips may become smaller, which is mainly related to the injection dose of botulinum toxin for wrinkle removal.
