Botox injections – what to know about side effects?
The use of Botox injections for taking care of wrinkles in the face has become a common practice for the new beauty conscious generation these days. Botulinum toxin which is popularly known as Botox is actually consists of poisonous elements and it is used as an injection in human faces to treat wrinkles in face. Another effective method of treatment is face lifting, but that is more painful surgery for patients. In a word, Botox injections are hassle free and quick solution to aging problems in facial skins.
There is no doubt about the fact that this injection works, says Dr Tarik Farooq. You can be rest assured of getting a smooth face after use of this injection. But its effects do not last for long years. On the contrary, you are supposed to inject the next injection within couple of months. As you have to keep on using this poisonous substance in your face on a regular interval, it is quite natural for you to have some queries. Let’s make a list of some of the common queries regarding Botox.
● Is it safe to use in face?
● Does it impart any side effect?
● How fruitful are they as long term treatment?
All these queries are required to be resolved first. Well, according to Dr Tarik Farooq, the injection is now FDA approved for treating facial wrinkles; so you can expect the amount of poison used in it is not much harmful for you. As for side effects, it is true that a patient becomes dependant on it with a long term use, and after a certain time, the Botox injection stops making any impact on your facial wrinkles. That mean; you may loose something from the natural immunity of your skin.
Lastly, its long term effect is still in ambiguity, because the use of Botox injections as an alternative to face lifting started merely 12 to 15 years ago. This time span is not enough to determine the long-term effect of this injection. So, Dr Tarik Farooq thinks that it will take some more time to get the truth behind its long-term effects. As for now, you can use it as alternative to facial surgery for face lifting.
