1. What is Bo-Tox?
Bo-tox is the trade name for Botulinum Toxin Type A, which is an extract from a bacterium called Clostridium. It is commonly used in cosmetology to reduce muscle activity when injected temporarily. This reduction in muscle movement helps diminish wrinkles, adjust the shape of the face, and tighten the skin.
2. The purpose of getting botulinum toxin treatment.
The purpose of injecting Botox is to slim the face, reduce wrinkles, minimize sweat and body odor, and reduce muscle size. It can also reduce the size of the jaw to create a slimmer facial appearance, slim down the calves for more slender and attractive legs, decrease the size of the nose wings to make them smaller, and make the nose bridge more defined.
3. The results of the botulinum toxin injection.
The effects of Bo-tox injections are known to be visible and noticeable within a short period of time. This quick response is a major reason why an increasing number of individuals are turning their attention to Bo-tox to enhance the appearance of their faces and achieve a more youthful look.

5. What should you do to prepare before receiving a Bo-tox injection?
5.1 Stop using analgesics, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen and Naproxen at least 2 weeks before the injection to prevent bruising.
5.2 Avoid taking vitamins that may make it difficult for your blood to clot, such as vitamin E, fish oil, evening primrose oil, ginseng, ginger, garlic, and ginkgo biloba leaf extract for 2 weeks.
5.3 Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages 24 hours before the injection.
5.4 You should be in good physical health, without serious underlying diseases such as muscle weakness, and should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
5.5 Before the injection, the doctor should be clearly informed about each individual’s concerns and preferences, as they can vary from person to person. For instance, some people may prefer a very tight look, while others may prefer a more natural and distinct appearance.
5.6 On injection day, it’s better to remove makeup or clean the face. The muscle size increases with use and may return to its original size with frequent use.
6. How to take care of yourself after a Bo-tox injection.
After receiving a Bo-tox injection, it’s important to follow these precautions:
6.1 Do not lie down for about 4 hours after the injection to prevent the Bo-tox from spreading.
6.2 Avoid rubbing or massaging the injection site for 1 month.
6.3 Stay away from heat exposure to the injection site for 1-2 weeks.
6.4 Avoid activities that cause facial flushing, such as drinking alcohol, intense exercise, sauna use, or soaking in warm water, as heat can break down the Bo-tox faster.
6.5 After receiving Bo-tox injections in the jaw area, chew gum on both sides of your mouth equally for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Alternate chewing from left to right to help distribute the medication into the muscles at the injection site.
6.6 You can apply makeup about 4 hours after Bo-tox injection. Redness from needles and swelling from injections should disappear within 1-2 hours after the injection.
6.7 Avoid RF or laser treatments for 2 weeks following the Botox injection, but you can continue to use the cream as usual.
