Botox is a treatment that has been used for decades to address superficial wrinkles, promote signs of aging, and prevent the spread of wrinkles. Known for its ability to quickly create a fresh and youthful complexion, Botox injections are one of the safest non-surgical cosmetic procedures available today. Not only is it highly effective in reducing existing wrinkles, but it is also effective in preventing new wrinkles from forming due to the muscle freezing that Botox brings. This muscle freezing reduces dynamic wrinkles, commonly found on the forehead and around the eyes, and significantly reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, Botox also relieves musculoskeletal pain, migraines, and irritability. It is also very successful in treating excessive sweating and life-threatening medical conditions because of the higher concentrations recommended by experts. In general, Botox injections are a safe way to address wrinkles, improve your skin, and help patients feel more confident about their skin.
Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle cannot contract. This makes the wrinkles relax and soften. Botox is most commonly used on forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eyes), and frown lines.
This product is used in patients 18 years of age and older.
You cannot use BOTOX 50IU in cases such as allergies to any botulinum toxin type A products. If the patient is allergic to any of its ingredients. Also if the patient has a skin infection at the intended injection site.
After the injection, your patient may experience some side effects within a few hours to a week. Therefore, first of all, inform your patient about the side effects:
vision problems,
general muscle weakness,

Before using Botox, first check the expiry date on the vial. This product is stored in a refrigerator between 2 and 8°C for no longer than 36 months.
The Botox potency units are specific to the preparation and assay method used. They are not interchangeable with other botulinum toxin preparations. Therefore, the biological activity units of Botox cannot be compared with those of any other botulinum toxin product evaluated by any other specific assay method.
Please note that the Botox vial may be empty before reconstitution because it contains a small amount of vacuum-dried Botox powder that looks like transparent crystals.
