– Botox is the name of a specific device. Neuroproteins (botulinum toxins), which come from different manufacturers, contain purified botulinum toxin type A and are used in cosmetology to smooth unwanted wrinkles caused by prolonged spasm of facial muscles. After the injection of botulinum toxin, the signals between the muscles and their motor nerves are blocked, the spasmodic muscle structures involved in the formation of wrinkles are relaxed. Wrinkles and wrinkles are smoothed out and the skin’s surface is restored and smoothed over time. It is also used to eliminate hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and lift the buttocks.

What you need to know before getting botox

  • You cannot get botulism from Botox injections from a beautician.

  • The lethal dose is 10 vials for parenteral administration.

  • Multiple injections do not cause irreversible consequences… The fact that after the introduction of Botox, the muscles or face “sag” is a myth. After the end of the action of the drug, only what was before the procedure is returned.
