Are there any side effects of wrinkle removal injections?

As the name suggests, wrinkle-removing injection is an injectable drug used to remove wrinkles. As people pay more and more attention to their own image and the economic level of many people has improved, wrinkle-removing injections have become a more common choice for middle-aged and elderly women. Generally speaking, there will be no problem if you choose a regular institution to inject wrinkle-removing injections, but if the hospital is not qualified enough or the doctor handles it improperly, the following side effects may still occur!

1. Drooling unconsciously

Wrinkle-removing injections may cause the side effect of involuntary drooling, which is a manifestation of lower facial weakness after injection. It is caused by the diffusion of the wrinkle-removing injection medicine and the probability of occurrence is relatively small. In addition to unconscious drooling, the lips may become smaller, which is mainly related to the injection dose of botulinum toxin for wrinkle removal.

2. Spots around the eyes

Spots around the eyes are also a side effect of botulinum toxin wrinkle-removing injections. This type of condition occurs in people with dilated capillaries and those taking aspirin, and is triggered by wrinkle-removing injections. Therefore, patients who are taking aspirin should stop taking the drug one week before the injection and tell their doctor about their medication history.

3. Strabismus

Strabismus is also one of the side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle injections, with an incidence rate of about 2% according to statistics. It may be caused by incomplete paralysis caused by botulinum toxin wrinkle removal injection. The occurrence of strabismus is related to the injection site and dosage of the wrinkle-removing injection. As the injection dosage increases, the incidence of strabismus will also increase. Mastering the precise injection site and reasonably controlling the number and dosage of wrinkle-removing injections are the basic guarantees for avoiding the side effects of strabismus.

4. Allergic reactions such as flushing and itching

Allergy is also a side effect that may occur after the injection of wrinkle-removing injections, including flushing, itching, and urticaria of the skin all over the body. This is related to the individual constitution of the patient and the quality of the wrinkle-removing injection medicine. Before the injection, the patient should choose a regular institution and take oral anti-allergic drugs according to the doctor's instructions to avoid allergic reactions to wrinkle-removing injections.

5. Poisoning reactions such as fever and weakness

Body fever is one of the side effects of wrinkle-removing injections. It is actually a manifestation of a poisoning reaction. The reason is that the operator does not properly control the injection dosage of the wrinkle-removing injection. After local injection of an excessive amount of wrinkle-removing injection, a systemic poisoning reaction is caused. The side effects of poisoning also include fatigue, general malaise and other cold-like symptoms. The reaction to poisoning varies depending on the degree of overdose.

Avoiding local massage after the wrinkle-removing injection and asking the patient to drink more water can effectively prevent the side effects of Botox wrinkle removal.
