We are not going to persuade or dissuade - whether to do botox injections, each of us decides on our own. But before you say the final "yes" or "no", consider these 5 points!.

It can not be cheap.

The Botox preparation is measured in units of action (ED). 1 unit is NOT 1 ml! It's only 3 * 107 molecules. To make it clear, 20 Botox units are about 0.2 ml. Therefore, with injection, a small amount of the drug is administered. With a standard procedure for the treatment of the forehead, about 20 units are required, the interbrown area is 25 units. One unit of Botox in Moscow costs from 300 to 500 rubles, in regions it is slightly cheaper - from 250 rubles, and it is worthwhile if you are offered a "supercharge" and call the price much lower than the average market price. This can be a counterfeit drug, a beginning doctor or a drug with an expired shelf life. Be sure to check everything!.

After the procedure, bruises and puffiness are possible.

And this is normal, although it is considered a rare complication. Hematomas in the area of ??injections and edema around them occur more often if the procedure is on menstruation days or if you take blood thinning medications (eg, aspirin). Be sure to tell the doctor what medications you are taking, what your day of the cycle is, and just in case, do not plan solemn events 2? 3 days after the injections.

You will see the result of the week after two.

Do not believe "experts" who will try to convince you that in a couple of days the wrinkles will disappear, and do not worry if nothing happens in 5-7 days with your face. This is normal! The drug in the muscle tissue should "settle" or, as the doctors say, "get up". Usually the first changes appear on the 5th-6th day, but in some cases even later. Talk about whether the procedure brought the desired effect or not, you can after 14 days. Besides, it is important what kind of life you lead. The effect will be more pronounced, if immediately after injections you will strongly frown and grimace, this will speed up getting the drug in the right areas. Do not go to the sauna and bath for a week after the injections, and the first couple of days, refrain from serious physical exertion.

Nobody knows how long the effect will last.

There are lucky ones who have botox "keeps" for up to a year. And there are people who do not take botox at all. This can only be checked by experience. Neither from the qualification of the doctor, nor from you it does not depend.

You can get rid of botox if you are dissatisfied with the result.

Of course, not in one day, but taking certain drugs speeds up the removal of botox from muscle tissue. Talk about it with your doctor before the procedure.. So if you consider the experiment to be unsuccessful, it is not necessary to wait until the botox resolves itself, this process can be speeded up by getting rid of the drug in about a month.
