Various "beauty injections" have become a norm for us and a habitual means in the struggle for youth. So, Botox injections have been successfully used to smooth out wrinkles for a long time, and millions of women do not get enough of the results of injections. However, now doctors are starting to sound the alarm. According to experts, botox should not be carried away, since the consequences can be the most dire.
Before getting rid of wrinkles with anti-aging injections, it is necessary to check the qualifications of the specialist performing the procedure. Because if Botox accidentally gets into an artery, there is a serious risk of vision loss and brain damage.
“It can lead to necrosis or death of skin tissue, and if (botox) enters the arteries that supply oxygen to the back of the eyes, it can lead to loss of vision. In the worst case, Botox can even block the flow of oxygen to the brain, leading to a stroke,”British surgeon Julian de Silva was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
According to the newspaper, in the year before last, 32 cases of vision loss after Botox injections were recorded in the UK. Another study documented 12 similar cases. In addition, it has been reported that at least four patients have had a stroke due to brain damage following the anti-aging procedure.
At the same time, doctors state that due to the lack of standards, Botox manufacturers prefer to keep silent about its side effects.
“Many doctors don't even know there is a risk, let alone the fact that they have no experience of dealing with similar situations,” explained de Silva, adding that Botox manufacturers are trying to keep silent about the side effects.
Another cosmetologist, in turn, noted that, as a rule, insufficiently qualified medical practitioners do not have the necessary skills to "cope or take responsibility in dealing with side effects."
