Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin
Botox is the commercial name for ‘Botulinum Toxin Type A’, which is derived from a bacteria called ‘Clostridium Botulinum’. Successfully used in the aesthetic and anti-aging industry, Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles in the injected area, to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles created by dynamic facial movement.
Botox Pre- and Post-Treatment Guidelines
Those looking for Botox treatment should carefully study and follow these pre- and post-treatment guidelines, to ensure the best possible and the most cost-effective results.
Pre-Treatment Checklist
- Make sure you are receiving genuine Botox.
- Ask to see the Botox mixed in front of you, prior to the injection, to ensure that
the dose is not overdiluted with too much saline. - Be sure to get Botox treatment from a high-standard clinic and an experienced doctor.
- Do not receive more than 300 units of Botox in total, per treatment session.
- Make sure a cold compress is applied during the treatment, to decrease blood
circulation and help reduce swelling.
Post-Treatment Checklist
- Do stretch the injected muscles, one or two times immediately following Botox
injection. - Don’t lie down flat for at least 3 hours after Botox injection.
- Don’t be exposed to any form of heat, or do activities that cause facial flushing.
- Don’t consume any kind of alcoholic beverages, and food served over a hot stove– e.g. shabu, grill, hotpot, etc.
- Don’t have any other skin treatments, such as facial massages, for 2 weeks after
Botox injection.
