Choosing a Qualified Healthcare Professional Look for a licensed physician, dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or certified injection specialist. Understand the doctor's qualifications, experience, and past cases (you can request before-and-after photos or patient reviews). Confirm that the injection site has emergency medical facilities and medications to deal with rare injection reactions.
Pre-procedure Communication and Assessment Inform the medical staff in detail about your medical history, medications you are currently taking, and allergies (especially allergies related to botulinum toxin).
If you have conditions such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or muscle diseases (such as myasthenia gravis, epileptic muscle disease), consult your doctor about whether it is suitable for you to use.
Discuss expected results, injection sites, and injection dosages, and clarify realistic expectations and possible risks.
Safe Injection and Product Information Only use original products obtained through official channels (such as BOTOX Cosmetic, avoid counterfeit products).
6.During injection, ask the doctor to mark each site and inject point by point to avoid excessive dosage and honeycomb-like injections. Understand in advance the product ingredients, whether it contains protein, sterilization, and storage conditions.
Avoid strenuous exercise, massaging the injection site, applying heat/hot baths, saunas, and alcohol consumption within 24-48 hours after injection, as these activities may affect diffusion.
Avoid excessive flexion of facial muscles (such as tilting your head back, touching your forehead, raising your eyebrows excessively, etc.) within 24 hours after injection.
Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you encounter any abnormalities: persistent headache, extreme swelling, obvious muscle weakness, difficulty speaking or swallowing, drooping eyelids, or vision changes.
Common temporary reactions: pain, bruising, headache, mild muscle weakness at the injection site, which usually subside within a few days.
Rare but important risks: Diffusion from the injection site to adjacent muscle groups can lead to drooping eyelids, eyebrow asymmetry, and difficulty swallowing. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
Allergic reactions are extremely rare, but if you experience difficulty breathing, throat swelling, or rash, seek medical attention immediately
BOTOX Cosmetic is usually used to improve moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines; it is not suitable for everyone.
People who are allergic to botulinum toxin or any of its ingredients, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, are generally advised to avoid use unless specifically instructed by a doctor.
If you have active muscle disease, neurological disease, or are currently taking certain medications (such as anticoagulants, muscle relaxants), you should discuss this fully with your doctor.
Long-term Safety and Maintenance After multiple treatments, the effect is not permanent, and it is necessary to regularly evaluate the treatment plan and injection interval (the common interval is about 3-6 months, the specific time is determined by the doctor).
Avoid adjusting the dosage yourself or repeating injections yourself; be sure to do so under the guidance of a professional.
If you are concerned about the risks, you can discuss alternative treatment options with your doctor, such as topical fillers, thermage, and other non-surgical anti-wrinkle methods, to achieve your personal aesthetic goals while reducing risks.
