2007 - Botulinum Toxine (Botox), how to correct the complications and new indications.

Botulinic Toxin has been used for several years on the treatment of different pathologies. For instance in Ophthalmology has been used to treat blepharospasm and strabismus. In other specialties it’s used for cervical dystonia, hemifacial spasm, etc. Other authors have used the Botox for the fore expression wrinkles. After our education in USA and 10 years of usage, we will transmit to you our knowledge on it.

Patients must be informed that there may be complications. The most common are oedema, erythema and ecchymosis which are transitory. Although is no habitual, some patients may feel slight pain in the injected area.

Sometimes the muscles are not symmetric, this is because we haven’t injected the same doses of toxin in each side, or the injected points are not exactly opposite to each other. In those cases the effects may vary from one side to another. We will present the way of action for these cases.

The most common errors on the neck wrinkles application are: Disphony, Disphagy and Neck weakness. These complications may also occur when the toxin is injected outside the muscular mass of the pletisma or when overdose exist. Fortunately, all these effects are transitory.

On this communication we will analyze on detail all the aspects of a treatment with Botulinum  Toxin, and the correction of any complication.
