To date, a lot of different information has been presented about Botox and its analogues, butoloxine cosmetic injections. These youth-preserving and anti-wrinkle drugs are ubiquitous and widely used throughout the world. If you have not yet decided whether you need these procedures or not, and if you are tormented by vague doubts, then this article will help you make a decision. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of Botox.

Of course, Botox injection, like any other medical procedure, has not only advantages, but also disadvantages.

First, let's outline the advantages of this procedure.

The first is that Botox injections are a good alternative to plastic surgery, that is, surgical operations. Unlike the latter, they do not require long-term adaptation, the administration of an anesthetic, they are easily tolerated, and the procedure itself takes only 10 to 20 minutes. Injection marks will be invisible in a couple of hours. Of course, in some cases, Botox injections do not give the expected effect, which is primarily due to an incorrectly determined dosage or incorrect execution technique. Of course, an experienced doctor excludes such options, and, if necessary, will make a correction a few weeks after the injection.

An important role is played by personal physiological characteristics, the presence of chronic diseases and other factors. At a consultation with a specialist, the patient should be provided with competent information and all possible risks should be indicated.

Secondly, the use of Botox injections is currently widely practiced in the treatment of hyperhidrosis, strabismus, acne, herpes, muscle spasm relief, and in a number of other cases.

Also, it is important to note the large experience of proven scientific research. The feasibility and effectiveness of Botox has been proven by numerous clinical trials. The safety of butoloxin injections has also been confirmed by many years of scientific testing.

In fact, any complications and side effects in almost all cases are the result of an incorrectly selected doctor, his low qualifications and lack of sufficient experience.

A significant plus is the additional effect of rejuvenation, due to the fact that immediately after the procedure, elastin and collagen begin to be actively produced .

Now, let's mark the cons.

Botox injections are only useful for eliminating mimic wrinkles associated with muscle tension. That is, for example, Botox does not remove wrinkles resulting from constant dryness of the skin.

Also, the use of the drug is inappropriate for wrinkles caused by unique physiological features. The same story applies to deep wrinkles, which can only be slightly smoothed out with Botox injections.

It is almost impossible to completely remove deep wrinkles with Botox.

It should be understood that the effect depends not only on the doctor, but also on the patient. It is necessary for the patient to follow some simple rules before and after the procedure.

For example, the first day after the injection, alcohol is excluded, visits to massage rooms, baths, saunas, you can only lie face down and active physical activity, especially associated with lowering your head, is not recommended. Thus, a highly qualified doctor and a responsible patient are the main components of the successful effect of the procedure.

Unfortunately, the effect of Botox injections passes on average after six months, in some isolated cases up to a year. Thus, to maintain a permanent long-term result, regular repetition of the procedure is necessary.
