In this article, we are going to focus exclusively on the side effects of Botox. The most common question that arises in the minds of beauticians after Botox treatment is how to avoid the effects of Botox on the face? And if there is a need for treatment, what are the best solutions? In the continuation of this article, we will examine these cases in detail.

In this article, we will address the following:

What is Botox?
 

Let us briefly mention that Botox, which is used to reduce facial wrinkles, is a diluted botulinum toxin that is used for many medical purposes. By preventing the transmission of nerve messages from the nerve to the muscle, this toxin ultimately prevents muscle contraction and paralysis, which in turn leads to less wrinkles on the face.

 

Is it safe to use Botox?
 

For many beauticians, the effects of Botox are a very important question, and this question brings to mind another question - is the use of Botox completely safe or not?

Although botulinum toxin is life-threatening, low doses are considered safe. During the 14 years in the United States, only 36 serious side effects of Botox have been reported, usually related to underlying problems. Other side effects are more temporary than permanent, and Botox can generally be said to be safe. And its side effects are often transient.

 

What are the side effects of Botox?
 

Since Botox is widely used, in this article, we will examine the side effects of Botox separately. Of course, keep in mind that in all cases there is a possibility of general complications.

 

Effects of Botox on the face (frown lines between the eyebrows):
 

Blephaver ptosis: Drooping eyelids are a temporary complication of Botox injections in the frown line between the eyebrows. This complication occurs especially when injected near the edge of the bone around the eye (supra orbital supra orbital). Botulinum toxin paralyzes the eyelid-raising muscle. This drooping eyelid is usually 2-3 mm (which is more pronounced at night due to fatigue). This complication usually resolves spontaneously in about 6 weeks. Of course, the use of drugs such as nafazoline or Iopidine eye drops is also effective in treating and raising eyelids.
 

Effects of Botox on the face (horizontal lines of the forehead):
 

Drooping eyebrows: Ptosis or drooping eyebrows is one of the most common and significant complications of Botox horizontal forehead lines. Drooping eyebrows in the form of heavy eyebrows usually occur when the dose of botulinum toxin is high or it is injected in an unsafe area (near the eyebrows). Depending on the injection site, the sag can be in the inner, outer or entire eyebrows. This complication, like eyelid ptosis, can be cured by removing the effect of Botox, but sometimes experienced doctors use Botox to treat these side effects. For example, if the outer part of the eyebrow is drooping, Botox injection into the orbital muscles (orbicularis oculi) can help the eyebrow to fall out.
• Asymmetry of eyebrows: In fact, drooping eyebrows are a subset of asymmetry of eyebrows. As we have said, in the treatment of drooping outer eyelid, we compensate this droop by injecting it into the round eye muscles, but if there is a small difference in the amount of injection in these two muscles on both sides of the face, it can lead to asymmetry due to excessive elevation of one side. The outer part of the eyebrows.
Blephaverptosis: As mentioned in the previous section and with the same physiopathology, there is a possibility of paralysis of the eyelid in Botox horizontal lines of the forehead, the treatment of which was also mentioned in the previous section.
 

Effects of Botox on the face (crow's feet lines):
 

But because many of these complications are more common in the treatment of crow's feet lines, it will be explained in detail here as well.

 

Bruising: The most common complication is that it can range from small spots at the injection site to a large crescent-shaped area around the eyeball. It gets better on its own in a maximum of two weeks. Using an ice pack and squeezing it on the injected part is very effective in reducing bruising. Another way to reduce these bruises is another type of injection that is beyond the scope of this article.
Drooping eyelids and cheeks: When botulinum toxin injection is too deep. This deep injection causes asymmetric laughter, oral dysfunction such as speech or runny mouth, and other eating and drinking problems.
Drooping eyelids: Blepharoptosis is very common in Botox crow crow lines and the reason has been mentioned before. This problem resolves on its own and the use of eye drops helps to improve it.
Sensitivity to light: Photophobia is generally not very common in the effects of Botox on the face and is usually very mild if it occurs. This problem is usually solved by using a pair of sunglasses in the sun.
• Binoculars
Disruption of blink reflexes
Rotation of the lower eyelid edge outwards (ectropion)
• Damage to the eyes
• And ... which is another very rare side effect of Botox is crow's feet lines.
