If you have done botox training you should know this answer and sounds like you havent so you shouldn't need to know
A patient who just had botox should not rub the area where the botox was performed, should not bend the head down, and also should not exercise the same day as the botox. Additionally, the area where the botox was performed should be iced to decrease bruising or swelling.
BOTOX cosmetic is measured in units. Each bottle of BOTOX cosmetic that a doctor receives contains 100 units of BOTOX cosmetic as freeze-dried powder which must be diluted with saline-water added- in order to be injected. For maximum benefit, it is recommended that a patient receive a minimum of 25-50 units between the eyebrows to smooth frown lines, 25-35 units for forehead lines, and 10-15 units for each eye area (crow's feet), to achieve results that last 90-120 days.
Well I work in a Dermatologist Office in NY and the way I mix the botox for hyperhydrosis and for therapeutic use is to fill a syringe with about 2.3 - 2.5 cc of saline solution, then that goes into the botox vial. Swirl the mixture and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes, you just want to make sure there aren't any bubbles in the bottle. Then each vial should fill two 1cc syringes. That's it !
Cosmetic Surgeons and Doctors are the only people who should be giving Botox injections.
The effects of Botox Cosmetic on pregnancy are not known, and it is recommended that pregnant women and women who plan to become pregnant should not receive Botox Cosmetic treatments. It is recommended that women in these situations should wait until after their pregnancy before receiving Botox Cosmetic treatments.
Pharmacist should be an independent prescriber and fully trained in Botox injection technique's. Usually pharmacy do not sell Botox or dermal fillers, prescriber should contact special pharmacy with Allergan or Merz agreement.
I can't believe you are even asking this question the answer is NO,no no no. No-one should get botox especially not 3 year olds.
Botox should be administered by qualified medical professionals such as Doctors, Dentists and Nurses. You need to have knowledge of facial anatomy and be trained in injection technique before even considering injecting botox.
No, Botox is not a steroid. Botox is a neurotoxin that is used for both medical and cosmetic purposes.
BOTOX Cosmetic procedures should be redone approximately every 3-4 months for a consistent appearance. While some patients will experience more longevity from their treatment, this is a safe average.
It should also be mentioned that if the patient is currently taking antibiotics, they should forgo Botox injections until the antibiotic treatment is complete because of the chance of an adverse reaction. http://www.articlesbase.com/plastic-surgeries-articles/what-is-botox-559557.html
