Adverse reactions of beauty injections

Ask any woman: "Does she want to see wrinkles on her face?" And you will hear a firm "no" in response. Most women struggle with wrinkles with the help of specialized means: various creams, massages, masks, etc. There are those who choose a more radical way - "injections of beauty" on the basis of botulinum toxin.

"Injections of youth" allow you to get a quick and wonderful effect - the face rejuvenates for 10-15 years. But if the method and place of administration, the inadequate dose or the sterility is not properly selected, they cause side reactions: pain, bruising, hemorrhage or numbness at the injection site, allergies, ptosis of the upper eyelid and eyebrows, eyelid edema, diplopia, lip asymmetry, headache, flu syndrome, nausea, respiratory infection, "frozen" face, muscle degeneration. After a while these side reactions of beauty injections disappear on their own, but sometimes they are long-term and irreversible.

Painful sensations, bruises, hemorrhage or numbness at the injection site

Painful sensations at the site of infection occur in 1.3% of the beneficiaries of the service, bruises, hemorrhages - in 6%, numbness - less than 1%. The causes of extensive hematoma are incorrectly selected points (above the large vessels), coincidence of the monthly with the time of injection, high blood pressure during injection, features of blood coagulation in the patient.

Allergy

Botulotoxin even in small doses is a poison, so sometimes when you inject a "beauty prick," an allergy may be an adverse reaction. This effect is recorded in less than 1% of people.

Ptosis of upper eyelid and eyebrows, edema of eyelids

Abortion of the upper eyelid occurs in 0.14% of people, dullness of the eyebrows - less than 1%, edema of the eyelids - at 0.14%. Ptosis often occurs due to an overdose of botox, improperly chosen injection points or non-recognition of the patient's anatomy (narrow forehead, etc.). It provokes a decrease or lack of mobility of the upper eyelid. With it, vision is mechanically difficult, eyebrows become raised. In severe cases, the depression of the upper eyelid makes one take the "position of the astrologer" - the elevated position of the head and the wrinkling of the forehead. Also, other manifestations of ptosis are eye irritation and fatigue due to muscle tension. If in ptosis it is impossible to completely close your eyes, then the symptoms of dry eyes appear, chronic conjunctivitis occurs.

Lip Assymetry

Sometimes, after an overestimated dose of the drug or its incorrect injection into the lips, it may slightly shift relative to the center of the face.

Headache, diplopia

Headache and diplopia (double vision) occurs in 2% who have used "pricks of beauty". Diplopia occurs after a significant overdose of the drug, due to the fact that the patient took a horizontal posture in the first hours after the injection or because of improper administration of the drug.

Flu syndrome, nausea, respiratory infection

These adverse reactions are very rare, usually due to an overdose of the drug or its incorrect administration.

Frozenness of the face

As a result of an overdose of the drug, a person can become like a mask. For three or four months, this effect disappears on its own.

Rebirth of muscles

Canadian scientists have discovered another insidious effect of prolonged use of Botox. The injections of this drug can degenerate the muscles into a fatty layer and not only in the area of ​​administration of Botox, but also in other areas of the body.

Whatever you choose for rejuvenation, success largely depends on you. If you decide to apply beauty injections, then contact well-known clinics, find out more about the clinic, and about the doctor, agree to injections only by approved and approved by experts drugs.
