Botox Injections: Top Six Questions Asked

Botox injection - lipo 360 special promotion

For the past many years, Botox treatments have been a huge game-changer. It is one of the most performed cosmetic injections around the world. This treatment dramatically treats your area of concern and makes you feel even better. In addition, botox injections are majorly known for reducing the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles.

However, Botox injections are not just limited to diminish wrinkles. These injections also help in the conditions of Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraine.

In this post, we will be discussing the top questions that are asked too often about Botox Injections.

1. Why are Botox injections used?

To know this, you first need to learn about Botox. Botox is an FDA-approved treatment and a protein made of Botulinum Toxin and is a product of the Botox Cosmetic division of Allergan, a pharmaceutical company. It is given to the patients in small doses through Botox injections to help with their concerns like diminishing wrinkles & forehead lines, stopping excessive sweating, and more.

Botox injections are also used to tackle conditions like:

  • Neck Spasms
  • Crow Feet
  • Lazy Eye
  • An Overactive Bladder
  • Chronic Migraine
  • Cervical Dystonia
  • Muscle Contractures
  • Hyperhidrosis
  • Eye Twitching

These injections block the chemical signals from the nerves, signals that are responsible for muscles to contract. In simpler words, it works like a shield between the brain and the muscles. So even if the brain is telling the muscle to move, Botox will anyhow keep it still.

2. What is it like to get Botox Injections?

Straight away after your Botox treatment, you may feel slight residual stinging from the injection. You may also observe a small bump on the area treated, more like a mosquito bite. And, you don’t have to worry about it as it will fade away over time.

Bruising can also be a possible outcome. However, it would be very insignificant and should resolve in a day or two. In addition, you might go through a headache that is rare but temporary after a Botox treatment. Botox treatments are given in units form. Particular amounts of units of botox are recommended per site.

In most cases, Botox has appeared to begin working completely in the first week after the treatment. By day four or five, you will be able to see slight changes in your appearance. Furthermore, by the time, say 2-3 months, you will notice your skin to be more firm and smooth than ever. Further, to get better results, you have to take routine follow-ups from your medical practitioner.

3. What are the medical benefits of Botox Injections?

Botox is one of the muscle relaxants that is beneficial in both cosmetics and medical conditions. Mentioned below are some of the medical benefits of Botox injections:

  • Reduce Migraine

Many patients may have read about the Botox injections reducing migraines, and most of them assume that they stop the migraine itself, which is not true. The only you can consider is that the drug reduces the pain caused by migraines. Botox injections also help in dealing with some of the pain-causing symptoms like sensitivity to light and nausea.

  • Stop Eye Twitch

In some cases, the twitching can be rapid and constant. But, on the other side, it can cause a permanent spasm of the muscle, keeping it in a rigid position for a long period of time.
Other than being frustrating and often painful, this twitching also impacts the patient’s vision and might lead to double vision. So, Botox injections work as a savior by helping relieve the twitching of muscles around the eye.

  • Prevent Excessive Sweating

The condition of sweating excessively is called Hyperhidrosis. In this condition, people tend to sweat even in the cooler temperature or at rest.
As stated above, Botox works as a shield between the brain and muscles. It also works as a shield for sweat glands. And, it is recommended that they are required to repeat the procedure every few months for consistent results.

4. What are the side effects of Botox Injections?

Patients commonly put up with Botox injections well, and the side effects are generally rare. Yet, there are some exceptional cases, depending upon the patient, in which Botox injections might cause any side effects
or allergic reaction, such as:

  • Numbness
  • Upset stomach(symptoms of food poisoning)
  • Temporary eyelid drooping
  • Facial pain
  • Bruising at the injection site
  • Headache

Although, it is really exceptional if you see any of the following effects after a few hours or weeks of the treatment.

  • Muscle weakness
  • Vision problem
  • Difficulty breathing

Medical practitioners usually suggest against receiving Botox if the patient is pregnant or has any sensitivity/allergy.

5 . Can Botox Injections cause death?

Just like any drug, Botox injections have their benefits and risks involved. Moreover, multiple scientific studies have supported that Botox injections are relatively safe when an experienced medical practitioner.

It usually causes pain around the area of concern but never has caused death. Botox paralyzes the muscles to result in loss of aging signs like lines crow or wrinkles when used in such small doses.

It can be dangerous if anyone uses it in large amounts, including alcohol, nicotine, sugar, salt, etc.

Why select an experienced medical professional?

6. Why select an experienced medical professional?

It is important to undergo Botox consulting with an experienced board-certified medical professional to get better results and prevent side effects. Because if performed inappropriately, Botox can cause a huge mess. A skilled, experienced medical professional can advise you better if you are an eligible candidate for the treatment or not.

Also, do not forget to discuss your expectations from the treatment, and he will determine if the procedure will suit your needs and health.
