Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of different brands of Botox solution

 

If you are going to do Botox, it is better to get acquainted with the different brands of Botox solution, the disadvantages and advantages of each, so that you have information in advance when you see a doctor and choose the right brand in consultation with him. Four famous and high quality Botox brands that are also approved by the Ministry of Health in Iran are: Neuronux made in Korea, Dysport made in England, Xeomin made in Germany and Masport made in Iran. In the continuation of this article, we will review each of them in full.

Be sure to pay attention to two important points before doing Botox:

1. Botox should only be done by a specialist doctor and do not think that injecting it is easy and anyone can do it. The amount, location and depth of the injection can be determined by the doctor according to the condition of the skin for each person. Using the original solutions and storing them in the right conditions is also important to be done properly by a trained physician. Also, if you have rare side effects for some reason, your doctor can help you get rid of them. So, avoid Botox by non-experts and certified people.

2. Provide a complete history. Be sure to keep your doctor informed about medications, underlying diseases, and allergies to any substances, and remind them every time you visit them, and do not assume that your doctor must have all of your information in mind. Of course, it is his duty to read your case every time, but it is better to remind him of the necessary things yourself.

Review of the best Botox solutions

Neuronox

This solution is made in Korea and is a well-known solution in many countries, including Iran. It was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 and is also sold in the United States. Neuronox is available in two doses of 50 and 100 units.

Neuronox is mostly used to remove light to medium eyebrow lines, frown lines and wrinkles on the forehead. Its effect appears 3 to 7 days after injection and up to 4 weeks later, its effect on reducing facial wrinkles is evident. The shelf life of the neuronox effect is 4 to 6 months.

Weak muscle at the injection site, bruising, headache and nausea can be temporary side effects of neuronox, which is seen in a small percentage of consumers.

If your skin is very white and you have a history of nausea and migraines, it may be better to choose another brand.

Neuronox solution should be stored at a temperature of 2 to 8 ° C, so it is transported and stored in the refrigerator.

Conclusion: Most people will be satisfied with the result of Neuronox injection and it is a good brand.

 

Dysport

The United Kingdom has one of the best medical systems in the world and high quality products are produced by British laboratories under the supervision of the Ministry of Health and the British Medical Organization. Usually, medical products made in Europe have to go through more stringent steps than in the United States. Personally, I prefer products made in England, France and Germany to Americans. Dysport solution is also made in the UK, which was approved by the FDA in 2009. Disport is licensed for sale in more than 69 countries.

Lactose and cow's milk protein, casein (Casein Protein) have been used in the preparation of Dysport solution and people who are allergic to milk should not use this product. Dysport uses small protein molecules, so the chances of them being broken down by the body's antibodies are low, making the solution more effective.

The onset of effect of Dysport appears 24 hours after injection and shows its effect in reducing wrinkles up to two weeks later, which is faster than other Botox solutions. According to consumers, there is very little pain in the days after the injection, which is another advantage of Disport. The effect of Dysport is up to 6 months.

This Botox is more recommended for people with moderate to severe wrinkles, especially for the frown line. Your doctor can tell which lines on your face are light, medium or deep.

Twice a year is usually enough and is recommended for people under 60. Disport vials are available in 300 and 500 units.

Conclusion: It is one of the best Botox solutions.

 

Xeomin

This solution is made in Germany and Merz company and received FDA approval in 2011. The effect of zeomin on wrinkles is similar to that of Dysport and is used for moderate to severe wrinkles. Patients who get a good result from Dysport injection are likely to get the same result from Zeomin.

Zeomin can be used both as a first choice and as an alternative in cases where there is no availability.

The effect of Zeomin after injection takes 5 to 7 days to appear and its shelf life is the same as Dysport up to 6 months and is produced in volumes of 50 and 100 units.

The very positive thing about Zeomin is that it does not use any other substances or even preservatives in it, which reduces the chances of the immune system reacting and causing allergies and side effects, and has the fewest side effects compared to other solutions.

When a chemical or virus enters the body, the immune system produces antibodies (antibodies) to fight it, which can cause side effects such as fever, pain and allergies.

Because zeomin does not require low temperatures for storage, it is used by many physicians, and consumers will not have to worry about storage conditions and the safety of solutions.

Conclusion: The absence of any by-products in zeomin is a great advantage and Botox is effective.

 

Masport

This solution is made by Iran Safe Company. The manufacturer has tried to produce it similar to English Dysport in terms of molecular structure and ingredients.

Mosoun Daroo Company started its activity in 2007 in the field of production of vaccines, antibodies and vital drugs for health.

Compared to many other miscellaneous Botox products, it has standard and good quality.

The shelf life of the sport is usually 3 to 4 months and it is cheaper in terms of price than other mentioned brands because it is produced in Iran.

The production is in the form of 500-unit vials, and according to the manufacturer, it is used for the lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead, wrinkles on the corners of the lips and eyes, and it can even be injected underarms to prevent excessive sweating.

Conclusion: Botox is standard and suitable.

American and Canadian Botox

American and Canadian Botox are often not available in Iran, and many of those sold under these letters are Chinese or counterfeit, which can cause severe side effects.

 

Botox

It is interesting to know that Botox is actually a brand and company that produced an injection solution for cosmetic surgery and skin wrinkles for the first time, and because it is the first and oldest manufacturer, the name of this injection has become popular among many people called Botox, such as Vitex is a brand of whitening liquid and many people call it whitening liquid.

 

Post-Botox care

Do not lie down for 4 hours after Botox injection.

Avoid watering your face, massaging, exercising and even wearing glasses for a day after Botox.

Avoid sweating, swimming, sauna, exercise and sunbathing for up to two weeks after the injection to increase its lasting effect.

If you feel pain in the injection site that was annoying, you can use light painkillers such as acetaminophen in consultation with your doctor.
