This week a group of women came to me to find out the details about facelift acupuncture to get rid of lines, wrinkles and to retain their youth as long as possible. One of the ladies had five or six plastic surgeries and a few of the other ladies were doing Botox on a regular basis. One of the ladies asked me, “What’s so bad about doing Botox?”
Here is a list of possible side effects:
SHORT-TERM:
- Bleeding, bruising, pain, redness and/or or swellingat the point of injection
- Neck or back pain
- Headache
- Flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runnynose,
- Dizziness
LONG-TERM
- Blurred vision
- Droopy eyelids
- General Weakness – particularly in neck
- Swallowing and/or chewing difficulty
Of course, not everybody has side effects, but they exist. And your chances of getting something become greater and greater the more you do it.
I have a patient who decided to do just a little Botox. She was going to her sister’s wedding, and simply wanted a touch up. As a result, one eyebrow dropped, and she looked like she got hit in the face. It took her close to six months to get that out of her system. She had fatigue, headaches, not to mention how she looked.
One should know – the word Botox ends in TOX. This is a sign. I know it’s popular and a lot of people do it, but sooner or later you may end up damaging your liver, your spleen and even your lungs and heart.
Natural facelift doesn’t have side effects. It gives a natural look of youth without surgery or toxic chemicals. Why jeopardize your health in the name of vanity? If you are interested call the office at 305-407-0120.
Wishing you the best in your health, wealth and happiness.
