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。

Botox injections prevent skin from scrunching up when one moves one’s mouth so that lines do not appear. It is best for dynamic lines and wrinkles around the mouth that is caused by movement, collagen decreases; But for those accompanied by skin sagging, the effect is not as good, it is recommended to undergo surgery that can effectively eliminate the lines while lifting the sagging skin, and the effect will be more obvious; for those who are overweight, the result of botulinum toxin is also relatively poor. It is necessary to reduce the thickness of fat in order to see good result.

肉毒素去口周纹，仅适应于口周肌肉过多、运动收缩和皮肤老化、胶原流失，所产生的动态性口周皱纹；而对于同时伴有皮肤松弛下垂症状者，效果欠佳，建议通过手术进行改善，能有效消除口周纹同时提拉松垂皮肤，减龄效果明显；对于脸部肥胖者而言，肉毒素改善效果也较为欠佳，需要全面削减脸颊脂肪厚度，才能明显的改善口周皱纹。

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.

是药三分毒，肉毒素也不例外；幸运的是，根据临床研究，它的副作用非常小，而且也是短时间的；仅有1%-5%的病例，出现轻微的眼角下垂或眉毛下垂，但一般在2周内会消失。

 It is not possible to be permanent, but it would be better than single shot, the result will last much longer. Generally, to keep the result longer lasting, repeat injection every 6 months for the first 3 treatments and follow up with 9 months to a year maintenance.

会；要想一直维持效果，需在6个月左右重复注射，以减少抗体的产生；连续注射2-3次后，每次注射效果可持续6-9个月，甚至更长时间。

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。
