On the Prohibition of the Use of Glycolic Acid after Botox Injection
In modern medical aesthetics, both Botox and Glycolic Acid are commonly used. Botox can relax muscles and reduce wrinkles and beauty; glycolic acid is a fruit acid, which can rejuvenate the skin, and each has its own function. However, whether to use glycolic acid after Botox injection is related to the effectiveness of medical aesthetics and health.

Botox is injected into the skin, and its effect is to block the impulse transmission between nerves and muscles, making the muscles relax, so as to achieve the purpose of wrinkle removal. After the injection, the skin is still in a state of recovery and adjustment. At this time, the skin barrier function may be temporarily weak, and the drug needs time to disperse and exert its effect.

Glycolic acid has the ability to exfoliate, which can promote the renewal of the stratum corneum and accelerate the metabolism of the skin. If glycolic acid is used soon after botulinum toxin injection, it may cause many drawbacks. First, the stimulation of glycolic acid may exacerbate the local reaction at the injection site, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, etc., which affects the healing of the wound. Second, it accelerates the metabolism of the skin, or interferes with the normal action process of botulinum toxin, causing its effect to be discounted and difficult to achieve the expected beauty of wrinkle removal.

Generally speaking, after the injection of botulinum toxin, it is recommended to wait for the skin to fully recover, usually within a few weeks. During this period, care should be taken to protect the skin and avoid skin care products with strong irritation. Glycolic acid can only be used when the skin is the same and evaluated by professional doctors.

In the act of medical beauty, safety should be the priority. Those who seek beauty must follow the guidance of doctors and use materials cautiously in order to obtain the effect of beauty and keep the skin healthy.
