“Botox injection shots are used to smooth wrinkles on the face and help prevent your muscle from contracting, reducing stiffness and appearance of wrinkles!”
Botox treatment or botulinum toxin injection is best known for its anti-aging benefits to treat wrinkles and fine lines. Botox ® is the brand name of a neurotoxin made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum; the first neurotoxin approved by the FDA for cosmetic purposes. But other brands also offer the same botulinum toxin, and the names are Xeomin®, and Dysport®. One must note that all these brands are approved by the FDA, especially used for aesthetic purposes.
The Botox injection process involves targeting problem areas where signs of aging are prominent. Common areas for Botox injections include the forehead, between the eyebrows, top of the nose, around the eyes, lips, chin, jawline, or neck. The injection is not deep, and most people report that it does not hurt. A pinch feeling or sting is common, usually over in just a few minutes. If you are sensitive to pain, the expert cosmetologist at Dr. Karishma Aesthetics can numb your skin with a topical anesthetic before the injection. When Botox is administered for medical purposes, the targeted areas may vary based on the patient’s reported problem. For instance, injections for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) may be in your hands, feet, or armpits, while Botox for chronic migraines may be injected along your hairline or scalp.
Every treatment/ procedure carries some side effects or downtime. Luckily, Botox injection’s side effects are temporary and usually settle on their own. The most common side effects, such as bruising, swelling or redness, pain or soreness, or a general feeling of flu-like symptoms, are common and usually do not require medications. If you experience rare side effects, such as headache, neck pain, infection, eyelid drooping, crooked smile, eye dryness, or upset stomach, immediately consult your cosmetologist/ physician. These side effects are rare, but if patients experience such symptoms, they must consult the doctor immediately.
Botox, a safe and effective treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is not injected deeper into the skin, ensuring it does not go into your bloodstream and stays where your cosmetologist put it. However, it does not cause any complications caused by the migration not affect other areas of the body. One must note that they must avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas to help achieve the desired results.
