Healing Injectables
Injectables
The purified form of Botulinum Toxin type A is used to block acetylcholine release in the treatment of chronic sialorrhea, muscle spasticity, and dystonia, as well as in cosmetic applications. Originally used to treat “crossed eyes” Botulinum Toxin-A is used cosmetically to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles. In addition to its cosmetic applications, it is used to treat a number of medical problems, including excessive sweating, overactive bladder, neck spasms, crossed eyes, chronic back and jaw pain, and migraines. Varieties of Neurotoxin-A include Dysport, Botox, Xeomin, and Bocouture
NEUROTOXIN-A COSMETIC PROCEDURE AND RESULTS
Using a very fine needle, BOTOX Cosmetic is injected directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. Receiving the injections requires no anesthetic, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream. Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, and typically last up to four months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer. Injections should be given only by qualified medical professionals.
SIDE EFFECTS OF NEUROTOXIN-A INJECTABLE
Side effects of Neurotoxin-A injectable are usually mild and temporary, and normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections. Injection-site side effects include the following:
- Pain
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Tenderness
- Swelling
- Redness
- Bleeding
- Bruising
Eyelids can droop when Neurotoxin-A injections are made in the glabellar region; they usually return to normal within 3 weeks.
