Restrictions on the use of Botulax
The Korean product has the same pattern of dilution and use of the drug as Botox. This simplifies the task of cosmetologists in avoiding dosage errors. Since the neurotoxins of the drug have a protein structure, it must be carefully used by people prone to allergies. Individual intolerance is the main limitation for the use of Botulax. Also, this drug is contraindicated in the following cases:
- pregnant women and mothers while breastfeeding;
- people with inflammatory processes, complications of chronic and infectious diseases;
- with inflammation in the areas of administration, damage to the skin of the face;
- at the stage of the rehabilitation period after plastic surgery (preferably six months later);
- persons who have problems with the nervous, endocrine systems, who have poor blood clotting or have severe myopia.
Botulax does not cause significant significant inconveniences and complications, but with the wrong dosage or the wrong choice of the point of administration of the drug, undesirable effects may occur. Here are some unpleasant symptoms that may appear in some patients:
- painful and burning sensations in the first week in cases of frequent use of the drug;
- swelling of the upper eyelids, which quickly passes;
- dizziness, migraine, stopping after a week.
How is the procedure of administration
Half a month before the introduction of Botulax, patients stop taking any antibiotics and blood thinning medications. It is forbidden in the preparatory period to smoke, drink alcohol, visit saunas and baths. The administration session itself is divided into the following steps:
- the skin is cleansed, the area of administration and exposure is diagnosed;
- anesthesia is performed using intramuscular injections or a special cream;
- powder is diluted and the solution is collected in insulin syringes;
- the agent is introduced into the desired zones and points;
- skin is treated, the patient is invited to work with facial expressions for better divergence of injections.
The whole process takes about an hour. At first, the work of the facial muscles decreases slightly, but after a few hours everything falls into place. A quick recovery contributes to the popularity of beauty injections such as Botulax. Patients after the procedure will not hurt to follow these tips:
- limit physical activity, stoop less, exclude sports;
- Do not lie face down or on your stomach;
- limit the movements of facial expressions (do not move your eyebrows, do not squint your eyes, watch out for a smile).
Validity
The most striking effect is observed a week after the procedure. Sometimes after half a month cosmetologists make a correction. The first result appears up to 5 months. The effectiveness of the drug is very individual.
Reuse of Botulax gives a longer effect, sometimes lasts a whole year. The tool does not cause dependencies, so the client can focus on the result. The approximate price for a package of Botulax (100 units) is 7000-8000 rubles. For one procedure, a whole bottle is not used, so a session will cost 400 rubles.
Popular analogues
The most popular among neurotoxins is the famous American Botox development. In second place is the French Dysport. It is followed by funds from Germany and China - Xeomin and Lantox. The domestic analogue of Botulax is Relatox.
If you compare “Botulax” with its counterparts, it can be noted its painless and soft entry. The efficiency of the Korean product is quite high, but only lasts relatively short. "Botulax", like other analogues, can be used by patients of different age categories. Women under 40 years old with good care, these injections perfectly remove wrinkles. At a more mature age, mesotherapy and biorevitalization should be added to this procedure.
Customer reviews of Botulax
Information and patient reviews about the Korean drug are carefully studied, but so far they are not enough for a final assessment of the properties and effectiveness of these injections. Clients note that in many respects the result of this anti-aging procedure will depend on the specialist himself. Sometimes a person can become a weak link in the use of Botulax. Face health is a very important aspect for a woman, so you need to choose an experienced cosmetologist.
Most often, people who want to save on the cost of a session and are ready for reasonable research turn to this Korean medication. Conservative patients do not take risks and opt for more well-known anti-aging injections. Nevertheless, most clients satisfied with the result of “Botulaks”, facial expressions persisted, there were no uncomfortable sensations and creases on the skin.
Beauticians about the drug
Reviews of cosmetologists about "Botulax" are found both positive and negative. A negative opinion most often develops as a result of improper selection of dosage, medical errors. There are still not many cosmetologists working with this tool, so not everyone fully trusts it. Beauticians advise you to contact this neurotoxin early so that you do not resort to radical measures later. So, fifty-year-old women will need parallel procedures to enhance the effect.
The positive side of Botulax is its official registration in Russia. The cost of the drug is quite low.
