Moira McCarthy: Hi, I'm Moira McCarthy of Whole Body Health for this segment of Ask The Acupuncturist. Many people have asked me how BOTOX and what some of the side effects are from BOTOX. I went online and did some research, and I found this site through the National Institutes of Health called MedlinePlus. I'm just going to read their definition of what BOTOX is.
BOTOX is a drug made from the toxin botulinum. It's the same toxin that causes life-threatening food poisoning called botulism. Doctors use this toxin in very small doses to treat various health conditions, including temporarily smoothing different wrinkles on the skin. BOTOX injections work by weakening or paralyzing the muscles in the face, thereby smoothing out the wrinkles. The effects last from three to five months by the statistics I could look up.
Most of the commonly reported side effects include pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. You can also get flu-like symptoms, nausea, headaches, upset stomach. Injections of the face may also cause temporary drooping of the eyelids, double or blurred vision, and swelling of the eyelids or dry eyes.
I had a client relay to me that she had go into get a facial and they were running a BOTOX special. She really wasn't that interested but the gal kind of talked her into go ahead and trying it. Something went wrong. She told me that either they did the injections too deep in the forehead or they used too much, but her forehead dropped and her eyebrows went together. She said she looked like Frankenstein. She was mortified.
Another side effect that I found was you could have allergic reactions to the BOTOX. That includes itching, red rash, red welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, dizziness, and fainting. They say on the official BOTOX Cosmetic website, if you have the latter, either dizziness, fainting, or shortness of breath, this could be serious, and to call your doctor right away or seek medical attention.
Here at Whole Body Health we offer a drug-free alternative to BOTOX. We call it the Acu-Lift. We use very fine little acupuncture needles that we place in various areas of the face concerned. What it does is it triggers a healing reaction, which stimulates elastin and collagen. It also brings blood and oxygen to the skin. What that does is it reduces fine lines, minimizes the lines. It gives the skin a nice kind of youthful glow. It also gives a little lift to the eye, cheek, and jaw line. You get the entire face. You also get the additional benefits of acupuncture, which is balancing the body to obtain optimal wellness.
We also have a needle-free alternative called the Jade Microcurrent Facial. It does a lot of the same benefits as the Acu-Lift. They effects, again, last three to five years vs. three to five months. If you're interested you can give us a call today to find out more. If you mention BOTOX side affects you will get 20% off your first treatment. Give us a call today at 512-328-5200.
