Para minimizar este perigo de hematomas, é importante escolher 1 profissional experiente e qualificado para fazer o procedimento.
Tell your health care provider if you are taking blood thinners or medicines that can interfere with the clotting of blood, such as aspirin or warfarin. These medicines might make it more likely that you will experience bruising or bleeding at the injection sitio.
Determining the right number of Botox units is a personalized process, and several factors influence the final dosage decided upon by you and your qualified injector. Here are the key things that affect how many units you'll need:
BOTOX is intended for injection into extraocular muscles utilizing the electrical activity recorded from the tip of the injection needle as a guide to placement within the target muscle.
Using this medication more often than prescribed will not make it more effective and may result in serious side effects.
Can be injected into the muscle, intradermally (into the skin dermal layer), or into the bladder wall depending on the condition being treated
The goal of cosmetic Botox is typically to soften wrinkles and achieve a refreshed, conterraneo look, not to eliminate all movement. Botox is also available to treat certain medical conditions.
An appropriately sized needle (e.g., 25-30 gauge) may be used for superficial muscles, and a longer 22 gauge needle may be used for deeper musculature. Localization of the involved muscles with techniques such as needle electromyographic guidance, nerve stimulation, or ultrasound is recommended. Repeat BOTOX treatment may be administered when the effect of a previous injection has diminished, but generally no sooner than 12 weeks after the previous injection. The degree and pattern of muscle spasticity at the time of re-injection may necessitate alterations in the dose of BOTOX and muscles to be injected.
Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received onabotulinumtoxinA in the past. Especially tell your doctor if you:
Patients with diabetes mellitus treated with BOTOX were more likely to develop urinary retention than those without diabetes, as shown in Table 11.
are being treated for urinary incontinence and find that you cannot empty your bladder on your own (only applies to people who are not routinely catheterizing).
Several other types of spastic movement disorders and some other long-term conditions radiesse not effectively treated by other types of medical treatment also have reported success with botulinum toxins. The medical uses for botulinum toxins are likely to expand in the future.
The potency Units of BOTOX are specific to the preparation and assay method utilized. They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, units of biological activity of BOTOX cannot be compared to nor converted into units of any other botulinum toxin products assessed with any other specific assay method [see Description (11)]. 5.3 Serious Adverse Reactions with Unapproved Use
Vigorous blinking from Botox injection of the orbicularis muscle can lead to an epithelial defect and corneal ulceration. Consider protective drops, ointment, soft contact lenses, closure of the eye by patching or other means.
