Sharing my old 2019 post:
Good read!
📖MUST READ: LOADS OF INFORMATION📚✨:
Wrinkle relaxing treatment: They do wonders for the face, rejuvenates the face.
The wrinkles are caused by repeated, habitual muscle contraction over time. Injection sites: Forehead, glabellar region means frown area, crow's feet means sides of eyes.
1️⃣ The eyebrows should not go up and make a spock like appearance!
2️⃣ Some movement should be there. Reason: Frozen face is a giveaway sign, that you had wrinkle relaxing treatment done 🙂
But then, It's your choice, how you want your want your face to be❗️
3️⃣ Dynamic lines are treated with the toxin injection, but static lines will only soften, they won't disappear.
4️⃣ REACHING A PLATEAU means BECOMING IMMUNE: There are many who want to have injections earlier than 3months and they are at risk of becoming IMMUNE to this toxin.
🔯When the injection enters our body, as it is a TOXIN, it produces antibodies- to fight the toxin. Because, it is in small amount, does not mean, that antibodies are also in small amount.
🔯In 3 months time, they disappear, and then you have another dose of wrinkle relaxing injections.
🔯Those, who have before the 3 months duration, the previous antibodies present will attack the toxin to nullify it.
So, think and STAY PUT until 3months‼️
Otherwise, you can pour this toxin on yourself or take a shower🌧, still you will be unaffected‼️DO NOT TAKE UNNECESSARY RISKS❗️
5️⃣ Some have effects which last until 4-5months❗️😊 I have a few ladies, who come in 4-6 months, as there face remains wrinkle-less.😇😇
6️⃣ WRINKLE RELAXING FOR LADIES 60 AND OVER🕑: According to a clinical trials, since the elderly are more likely to have thinner and less elastic skin, weaker facial muscles, and wrinkles that over time are caused by gravity-induced tissue sagging rather than muscle contraction, the elderly are not expected to respond as well to BTX-A treatment.
The site of injection also warrants special considerations in the older patients/clients.
⏩Treatment of forehead lines: would require injections to the frontalis muscle, which many older people use to raise their eyebrows and eyelids to see.
⏩Older patients/clients may also have extra skin under the brow, MEANS THEY ALREADY HAVE PTOSIS, KNOWN AS: PSEUDO-PTOSIS, which could be worsened by wrinkle-relaxing injections. Ptosis means drooping of eyelid.
⏩Older patients who receive wrinkle-relaxing injections for glabellar lines (frown area), may be more at risk for complications such as eyelid ptosis if they have a reduced or absent orbital septum (see picture).
⏩Due to thinner skin in older patients, there is risk of more bruising.
⏩Drugs and products, which thin the blood by inhibiting/preventing clotting are:
♦️Vitamin E,
♦️Aspirin,
♦️Clopidogrel,
♦️warfarin,
♦️Nonsteroidal means anti-inflammatory drugs such as:
💊 Ibuprofen, 💊Naproxen and 🌿herbal products such as Ginseng, Ginko biloba, and Garlic.
These products should be stopped at least 2️⃣ weeks(~10-14 days) before the wrinkle relaxing injections💉
♦️Warfarin is taken for heart conditions and patients SHOULD NOT STOP it without consultation with their CARDIAC DOCTORS. People with valve replacement, CANNOT stop the medications❗️
Here, I say, TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEART❤️, which is important to live.
Wrinkle relaxing injections areNOT NEEDED FOR YOU and as YOU CAN live without them‼️
⏩ Conservative dosing, injection of low volumes, and proper placement of the injection can reduce the possibility of spread of the toxin to unintended muscles.
