FAQ 常见问答题

Botox is an injectable drug made from botulinum toxin type A. This toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox is used for three main purposes: muscle spasm control, severe underarm sweating and cosmetic improvement for wrinkles etc. The human lethal dose of botulinum toxin is 2000~3000 units/time. General cosmetic injection should be controlled within 200 units/time. Generally, wrinkle removal for 1 part require 10-20 units, and the full-face wrinkle removal is within 100 units. For leg slimming will require a larger amount, it is recommended to do it in stages and not more than 200 units each time, the interval should be more than 3 months. As long as the dosage is strictly adhered to the regulation and the treatments are done is proper practice or hospital, botulinum toxin injection is safe.

肉毒素全称肉毒杆菌素，是肉毒杆菌在繁殖过程中分泌的一种A型毒素。由于它对兴奋型神经介质有干扰作用，临床上主要用于治疗肌肉痉挛、斜视等。后肉毒素被引入医疗美容领域，广泛应用于皮肤除皱、瘦肌肉等方面。肉毒素的人体致死量为2000~3000单位/次，一般美容注射的安全用量应控制在200单位/次以内。衡力和保妥适每支50-100单位，一般单部位除皱在10-20单位，全脸除皱100单位以内，如果瘦小腿需要比较大的量，也建议分次进行，每次不超过200单位，间隔大于3个月。只要严格遵守剂量使用规则，在正规医疗机构接受肉毒素治疗，肉毒素注射就是安全的。

At present, the botulinum toxin used for injection cosmetics has been diluted, and the toxicity has been greatly reduced. Generally, it will not cause skin allergies after injection. Be sure to understand the contraindications of botulinum toxin before injection. If you have history of allergic reactions, injection is not recommended. If it is the first injection of botulinum toxin, you can observe for half an hour before leaving.

目前用于注射美容的肉毒素是经过稀释了的，毒性大大降低，一般注射后不会造成皮肤过敏，在注射前一定要先了解肉毒素的禁忌症，如果是过敏体质的人不建议注射，如果是初次注射肉毒素，可以先观察半小时后再离开。

The main difference is the method of drug purification, drug purity and dispersibility: 1. Imported botulinum toxin, the component used is human blood protein, close to the human tissue composition, high safety; China brand use porcine gelatine, which is a foreign protein, easily causes an immune response; 2. After injection of imported botulinum toxin, the dispersibility is smaller (radius) 5mm; and for China brand’s injection, the dispersibility is larger (radius) 10mm; when fine injection is needed, such as the treatment of frown lines, the dispersion need to be smaller, the better the effect and the lower the adverse reactions; of course, their price difference is also relatively large.

两者主要差别在弥散度上；如: 进口注射后，弥散性要小(半径)5mm；而国产注射后，弥散性要大(半径)10mm；如需精细部位注射（比如除皱），进口效果会相对恒定些；而瘦脸/腿非精细操作，国产相对性价比会高些。

Although Botulinum toxin injections are relatively safe, minor side effects are possible. These include headache, pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, “crooked” smile or drooling etc. Most side effects are usually temporary and should fade within a few days. These side effects may take 2-4 weeks to improve as the toxin wears off.

临床使用的肉毒素已稀释近40万倍，每瓶药量非常小，毒性也大大降低了，合理注射剂量，是不会出现中毒情况，但若一味追求效果乱加量，则很有可能造成中毒；所以一定要用量适当。

The initial effects become visible within 24 hours. Wrinkle will seem lighter, skin will be smoother, obvious result will be shown after 3-14 days. To keep the result longer lasting, repeat injection every 6 months for the first 3 treatments and follow up with 9months to a year maintenance.

注射肉毒素后一般3-14天左右，皱纹逐渐舒展、消失，皮肤变平；效果常规维持6个月左右，由于每个人的代谢不同，维持时间长短也有差异。

If you are trying to be conceive, try to stay away from injections. If you have received one, try to plan your pregnancy at least 3 months after the injection. For pregnant woman, we do not recommend any injection.

女性若在怀孕期间，是不可以进行肉毒素注射的；若是在备孕期间，建议在注射完3个月-半年后再考虑怀孕，同时严格做好产检。
