Botox

What is Botox? 

Botox is mostly used to remove the wrinkles on the face through injections that contain a toxin named onabotulinumtoxinA. These injections are also effective in avoiding spasms, sweating, and lazy eye, as well as chronic migraines.

How is the Botox procedure done? 

Botox is one of the easiest aesthetic operations out there. It is usually done in a doctor’s office. The doctor injects botox to the skin or muscles through a needle. Where to inject it or how many injections are needed are determined by the surgeon by the demands of the patient.

The reasons for having Botox

Apart from the desire to eliminate facial wrinkles, people might want to have a botox for several conditions such as cervical dystonia, hyperhidrosis, eye twitching, and bladder dysfunction. As far as the botox on the face is concerned, botox before and after photos reveal the impact of the procedure on the wrinkles.

Ahead of the operation, some doctors and patients prefer to have the area in question numbed. This can be done through several methods, including topical anesthesia. 

After the Botox operation

Following the botox operation, the patients are expected to not rub or massage the area where the injection took place. The operation usually does not require any resting time for the patients as people can return to their daily lives right after.

What are the risks of Botox?

Some of the complications that can be seen due to the botox are pain, headache, awry facial expressions, and eye dryness.
