What are the side effects of Botox wrinkle removal

There are many beauty methods now, and it can even be said that beauty methods are changing every day. For many women who love beauty, they prefer some new beauty methods, so when new beauty methods appear, they will definitely try them out. No matter what kind of beauty method it is, you must understand clearly what side effects it will bring before doing it. For example, the side effects of botulinum toxin are very shocking.

Fever and weakness

Body fever is one of the side effects of wrinkle removal injections. It is actually a manifestation of a poisoning reaction. The reason is that the operator does not properly control the injection dosage of botulinum toxin for wrinkle removal. After local injection of excessive botulinum toxin, 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 botulinum toxin wrinkle removal and asking the patient to drink more water can effectively prevent the side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal.

Flushing and itching

Allergies are also possible side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal, such as systemic skin flushing, itching, and wheals. This is related to the patient's personal constitution and the quality of the wrinkle-removing injection. 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 botulinum toxin wrinkle removal.

Squinting eyes

Strabismus is also one of the side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal, and according to statistics, the incidence rate is about 2%. 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 needle. 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 botulinum toxin wrinkle removal 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 removal injections. This usually occurs in people with dilated capillaries and those taking aspirin, with botulinum toxin wrinkle removal being the trigger. Therefore, patients who are taking aspirin should stop taking the drug one week before botulinum toxin wrinkle injection and tell their doctor about their medication history.

Drooping upper eyelids

Upper eyelid ptosis is mainly seen in patients who undergo upper eyelid injections. The probability of occurrence is lower than that of strabismus and facial muscle disorder. This is related to the operator's treatment experience and the injection dose at each point. It is caused by the diffusion of toxins to the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. It usually occurs within 2-3 days after injection and generally recovers naturally within 3-6 weeks. Avoiding injection in the center of the upper eyelid is the main way to avoid the side effect of upper eyelid ptosis.

Unconscious drooling

Botulinum toxin 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 drug and the probability of occurrence is relatively small. In addition to involuntary drooling, incomplete lip closure may also occur, which is mainly related to the injection dose of botulinum toxin for wrinkle removal.
