Beware of the 5 major side effects of wrinkle-removing injections

Wrinkle-removing injections are a type of micro-plastic surgery that can promote the smoothness of facial skin and are effective in preventing and treating wrinkles. However, you must be careful when getting wrinkle-removing injections, because if the injection is not done properly, it will produce strong side effects, such as poisoning reactions in the body, allergies, and even strabismus and freckles.

1. Side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal: fever, weakness and other poisoning reactions

Body fever is one of the side effects of wrinkle removal injections. It is actually a manifestation of a poisoning reaction. The reason is that the operator does not properly control the injection dosage of botulinum toxin for wrinkle removal. After local injection of excessive botulinum toxin, 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.

2. Side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal: allergic reactions such as flushing and itching

Allergies are also possible side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal, such as systemic skin flushing, itching, and wheals. This is related to the patient's personal constitution and the quality of the wrinkle-removing injection. 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 botulinum toxin wrinkle removal.

3. Side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal: strabismus

Strabismus is also one of the side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal, and according to statistics, the incidence rate is about 2%. 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 needle. 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 botulinum toxin wrinkle removal are the basic guarantees for avoiding the side effects of strabismus.

4. Side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal: spots around the eyes

Spots around the eyes are also a side effect of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal injections. This usually occurs in people with dilated capillaries and those taking aspirin, with botulinum toxin wrinkle removal being the trigger. Therefore, patients who are taking aspirin should stop taking the drug one week before botulinum toxin wrinkle injection and tell their doctor about their medication history.

5. Side effects of botulinum toxin wrinkle removal: drooping upper eyelids

Upper eyelid ptosis is mainly seen in patients who undergo upper eyelid injections. The probability of occurrence is lower than that of strabismus and facial muscle disorder. This is related to the operator's treatment experience and the injection dose at each point. It is caused by the diffusion of toxins to the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. It usually occurs within 2-3 days after injection and generally recovers naturally within 3-6 weeks. Avoiding injection in the center of the upper eyelid is the main way to avoid the side effect of upper eyelid ptosis.
