Botox injections are a popular cosmetic procedure nowadays. This treatment is injecting Botox into particular areas of the face in order to tighten the skin and reduce the aging impact of the cells. This process can be facilitated by the use of a vein viewer.
How does botox work?
Botulinum toxin, often known as Botox, is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It inhibits the release of acetylcholine neurotransmitters from axon terminals at the neuromuscular junction, resulting in flaccid paralysis.
Why a Vein Viewer?
Vein viewers can be used by the plastic surgeon during the Botox injection treatment. While injectables require administration into the skin, the injected substance isn’t meant to enter the vascular system. A Vein Finder can come in handy in helping dermatologists to avoid vein access in this treatment.
A vein viewer will give the veins a contrasting color on the skin, assisting the plastic surgeon or the dermatologist in detecting the appropriate areas to operate on, while avoiding venous injections.
Conclusion
This way, the healthcare provider assures the success of this procedure, as well as limiting the number of failed needle attempts and patient dissatisfaction rates.
