By age 25, crow's feet begin subtly appearing around many women's eyes, causing distress for numerous female friends. At this stage, beauty-conscious individuals often seek wrinkle-reduction methods—ranging from traditional home remedies to the more convenient surgical options. Today, we explore Botox wrinkle reduction.
As a biological toxin-based muscle relaxant, Botox works by blocking nerve signals to muscles, inhibiting contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle to reduce crow's feet. Botox injections are suitable for dynamic crow's feet wrinkles.
Due to its inherent toxicity, botulinum toxin is contraindicated for individuals with the following conditions:
1. Neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, or congenital ptosis.
2. Individuals allergic to any component of botulinum toxin products or human albumin, or those with a history of allergies.
3. Caution is advised for patients with heart, liver, lung, or kidney disease; those who are extremely thin; active tuberculosis; blood disorders; connective tissue diseases; pregnant women; and children.
4. Individuals who have used medications interacting with botulinum toxin within the past 2 weeks, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, penicillamine, quinine, cyclosporine, morphine, or calcium channel blockers, as these drugs may enhance the toxicity of botulinum toxin.
