Before the procedure, the cosmetologist conducts a consultation to assess the patient’s expectations and makes recommendations appropriate to the situation.
Side effects of Botox injections
Botulinum toxin injections are safe and effective, but may cause side effects. These include:
- Muscle weakening: One of the main effects of botulinum toxin is muscle paralysis. This is desirable for reducing wrinkles, but may cause temporary muscle weakness in other areas.
- Dropping Eyelids: Botulinum toxin injections around the eyes cause temporary drooping of the upper eyelid. This results in a feeling of heaviness or a limited field of vision. Typically, the effects of drooping eyelids disappear after a few weeks or months.
- Headache: Some people experience headaches after botulinum toxin injections. This may be due to the substance itself or stress associated with the procedure.
- Redness and swelling: Redness, swelling and irritation may occur at the injection site. This is temporary and rarely causes serious problems.
- Allergic reactions: Rarely, some people have an allergic reaction to botulinum toxin. This may include itching, rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If an allergic reaction occurs, consult a doctor immediately.
It is important to note that side effects from botulinum toxin injections are temporary and disappear within a few weeks or months.
