Is botulinum toxin useful after all?
Compared with plastic surgery, people are more likely to accept injection beauty, because injection beauty is neither traumatic nor effective, such as injecting face-lifting needles, playing hyaluronic acid, and even injecting botulinum toxin to lose weight. I heard that the effect is obvious, so what is botulinum toxin? Does it really work? Are there any side effects?

1, is botulinum toxin useful?

Pursue beauty regardless of one's own conditions

I thought that injection beauty could solve everything.

Some people mistakenly think that injection beauty can solve all problems and achieve the desired beauty effect indefinitely, which is impossible. Any product or technology has its limitations. If there is no limit, then the doctor will conquer the world in one fell swoop. For example, if you are 50 years old and want to be 30 years old, you can't just use injections for beauty. If you want to achieve this goal, you need surgery. Take wrinkle removal as an example, wrinkle removal is mainly aimed at dynamic wrinkles, which has an effect on inhibiting the continuous generation of static wrinkles, but has only a slight effect on the weakening of static wrinkles, mainly dynamic control. Dynamic wrinkles refer to wrinkles produced when facial expressions are made; Static wrinkles are what people often call "dead wrinkles", and some wrinkles are dead wrinkles when there is no facial expression. Botulinum toxin is mainly used to remove dynamic wrinkles, and it also has a certain effect on facial improvement. Of course, it also improves the dead wrinkles a little bit, so that it will not continue to worsen. Hyaluronic acid can fill dead skin.

Dr. Han suggested that beauty seekers should first have enough knowledge of their appearance characteristics and must have reasonable expectations. In fact, this requires doctors to keep the personality characteristics of beauty seekers while making them young. She is still her, but she is beautiful and young. Everyone who sees her thinks that she looks good recently. This is the pursuit of injection beauty, not to say that you will be much more beautiful after injection.

Therefore, although micro-plastic surgery has become an increasingly popular new beauty trend, it is wiser to really understand its function and recognize its own needs, so as to avoid risks as much as possible and become beautiful safely.

Can't tell the beauty of life from the beauty of medical treatment.

I think injection beauty is easy to master.

Many consumers don't know that beauty salons are different from medical beauty and plastic surgery institutions, and they can't do "broken skin" projects. The seemingly simple injection beauty must be completed in a regular medical institution. Some people began to contact or inject hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin in beauty clubs and spas; It is very dangerous for bolder beauty seekers to inject themselves with the so-called injection beauty course on the Internet to see where others are stuck.

Han Xuefeng introduced that injection cosmetology has strict requirements on drug dosage, injection site and injection depth. Once the injection operation is improper, people will face masks, and in severe cases, the consequences will be irreversible, which may lead to complications such as bleeding, facial paralysis and even blindness. There is also the injection of fake botulinum toxin, which will paralyze the whole body after the toxin attack, which will seriously lead to respiratory and heartbeat dysfunction. Injection of pseudohyaluronic acid will lead to necrosis and severe swelling of the nasal tip.

Injection in regular medical institutions, professional doctors are familiar with the distribution of facial nerves, muscles and blood vessels, and know how to accurately hit the muscles that need to be controlled in order to achieve wrinkle removal and anti-aging effects.

Self-propelled Haitao injection beauty medicine

I think it's true.

So far, only 15 hyaluronic acid products have been officially approved in China, while only two products of Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products and Aijian in the United States have been approved for botulinum toxin. But in fact, there are hundreds of micro-plastic products popular on the "black market". Recently, China Plastic Surgery Association has data showing that 70% of hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin products sold in the domestic market are fakes and parallel imports.

Hyaluronic acid belongs to three types of medical devices in China, while botulinum toxin is a highly toxic drug. However, with the overseas travel of Chinese people and the rise of cross-border shopping platforms, many beauty seekers are willing to take their own goods abroad. Some beauty seekers think that what they bring back from abroad is at best parallel imports, which is true. But both botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid need cold chain transportation. Take the botulinum toxin "baotoushi" as an example. From production to transportation, every bottle of "lion with a head" must go through formal cold chain transportation, otherwise the product quality is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, Dr. Han stressed that medical cosmetology must be carried out by professional doctors in medical institutions with the Practice License of Medical Institutions issued by the health authorities, such as cosmetic hospitals, plastic surgery hospitals or plastic surgery departments of regular hospitals.

Is botulinum toxin poisonous or not?

There is a simple reason. Is the medicine we usually take poisonous? As the saying goes, three drugs are poisonous. Even if you take two or three tablets of cold medicine, it's nothing. If you eat too much, it will cause problems. So is botulinum toxin. Although it is a highly toxic drug, it will not cause harm to the human body in a very small amount, and it will cause death in a large amount. Hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin can be injected for life, but everyone's situation is different. At present, according to different products, the treatment cycle of hyaluronic acid is about six months to one and a half years. Botox is about six months. (and text)

2. What are the side effects of botulinum toxin?

1, brought by injection dose:

Botulinum toxin is a kind of toxin after all. Generally, the lethal dose is 2,500 to 3,500 units, and 2,000 units is equivalent to the current clinical dose of 20 bottles of botulinum toxin. General regular plastic surgery institutions, that is, 50 to 100 units at a time, will not produce such serious adverse reactions, which is very safe. If the injection dose is too much, it is easy to cause local fibrosis, muscle atrophy, local depression and permanent muscle paralysis.

2, surgical techniques:

Around eyebrows and eyes, if the injection site of botulinum toxin exceeds the "safe zone", botulinum toxin will be injected at crow's feet or nose lines. Because it is very close to the eyes, eyelid muscles are often paralyzed, diplopia and strabismus appear, blurred vision, eyebrow shape change, lower eyelid ectropion, lower eyelid bag aggravation, eyebrow drooping, eyelid drooping, pouch ectropion and so on. , incomplete eye closure, exposure keratitis, dry eye, or photophobia. If the injection of botulinum toxin is asymmetric, it will easily lead to different cheeks, asymmetric nasolabial groove and asymmetric muscle activity.

3, personal physique:

Allergic constitution may cause fever, fatigue, dyspnea and other symptoms, and even life-threatening. In severe cases, diplopia, dysphagia and dyspnea may occur.

4. Repeated injection:

The effect of removing wrinkles by toxin injection can generally last for 3-6 months, and the symptoms are not cured. After the wrinkle recurs, it is advisable to inject it again at intervals of about 6 months. If injected frequently, it will lead to nerve numbness, facial nerve injury, local fibrosis, muscle atrophy, local depression and permanent muscle paralysis. The application of cell repair technology TOOFOB deep stripe patch combined with botulinum toxin solves the defect of wrinkle removal by repeated injection of botulinum toxin. TOOFOB continuously delivers nutrients to wrinkles, activating and repairing atrophic cells and necrotic cells in wrinkles. Through the mature repair of newborn cells and the replacement of damaged cells in wrinkles, wrinkles can not only be repaired and smoothed, but also repeated injections can be avoided.

5, postoperative comprehensive reaction:

Stiff facial expression, nervousness, deepening wrinkles in adjacent parts, pain, swelling, erythema, cyanosis and neck weakness. Long-distance exercise can lead to progressive degeneration, abnormality, generalized myasthenia and influenza-like syndrome in untreated muscles.
