5 reasons not to use botox to reduce wrinkles
Botox is a neurotoxin that can have serious side effects, is addictive, and is expensive.
Botox is a term, short for Botulinum toxin, a toxic natural compound used to treat muscle disorders. Therefore, botox injection is considered a technique of injecting toxic bacteria into the face to affect the facial muscles to reduce wrinkles.
Before deciding whether to use botox or not, you need to carefully consider the following factors:
 |
1. Ineffective
Botox may smooth out wrinkles and relax facial muscles, but even cosmetic doctors admit that botox does not make you look younger. The wrinkle-reducing effect only lasts for a certain period of time, after which everything returns to normal.
2. Dangerous side effects
Serious side effects from Botox injections are not very common but not impossible. Complications can include infection, paralysis, allergic reactions, and even death. Less serious complications include pain, weakness, nausea, headaches, etc. because Botox is a neurotoxin.

3. Addictive
Many people start out telling themselves they will only use a little, but their need increases over time. Although it is not as addictive as alcohol or cigarettes, many people find it difficult to quit Botox. The more they get Botox, the more they want it.
The problem with Botox is that it can relax muscles and reduce wrinkles in one area of the face, but lead to wrinkles in another area. So you will want to continue using Botox on the area that is showing signs of aging.
4. Statue-like appearance

Too much Botox can lead to a stiff face. In fact, Botox affects your muscles, making it difficult to express emotions, giving you a stiff and different appearance.
5. Expensive
Botox injections can cost tens of millions of dong, and because they do not work for a long time, you have to keep injecting them. This pushes the cost of this cosmetic procedure up even more.
Not to mention, over time, the body gradually gets used to the effects of botox. This means that each time you inject it, the effects of botox will become shorter and shorter, forcing you to inject it more often to achieve the desired results. When you inject botox regularly, it means you have to face more complications and it will be more expensive.
