“Its use has increased over the years, since it is a very new, minimally invasive and painless technique. In addition, it is a treatment that in a short time shows impact results”. This is how the dentist and specialist in Orofacial Harmonization, Pedro Molinos, refers to botulinum toxin, also known by the trade name of Botox.
And it is that, in the field of aesthetic medicine, this neurotoxin has gained fame in recent years for its benefits once morest aging, but also as a treatment for some pathologies.
How does it work? The specialist, who attends his clinic, located in the Coconut Center shopping center in Lechería, points out that this generates temporary muscle paralysis in the applied area, decreasing muscle contraction. This makes it possible to correct wrinkles and prevent their progression, as well as leaving the skin smooth and toned.
However, its use is also indicated to treat excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis, since botulinum toxin blocks the nerves that activate the sweat glands.
Likewise, it helps to reduce the signs and symptoms of bruxism, migraines, as well as to correct the gummy smile.
Warning signs and recommendations
Molinos, a graduate of the Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho University (Ugma), in Barcelona, pointed out that some of the side and unwanted effects of this treatment include pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site; headache, drooping eyelids, or uneven eyebrows.
But the biggest risk is the migration of the substance, affecting other unwanted muscles.
However, he clarified, they are not common and can only be evidenced by malpractice.
Therefore, it is important to go to a certified, experienced specialist and in reliable health centers.
It is also necessary to take into account that botulinum toxin is restricted to those people who have used antibiotics prior to application, who have neuromuscular diseases, are pregnant or lactating, or who suffer from skin disorders.
Among the post-treatment recommendations of Molinos, CEO of the Harmony Advanced Care clinic, with offices in Caracas, Lechería and Maturín, are:
Do not massage the injection site. Do not lie down on the injection sites, at least during the first four hours following the application. Do not expose yourself to sunlight or excessive heat.
In this way, any unwanted side effects will be avoided and the development of successful results of the botulinum toxin treatment will be paved.
