Do you properly store your Botox supplies?

Many people complaint that the result of their Botox treatment doesn’t last long as it should be. Although the results of Botox injections last well for 3-4 months, these people often complaint that the results of their treatment lasted for only 2-3 weeks or worn off in just 1-2 months.

There is a possibility of developing immunity to Botox but it is quite rare. Other possible reasons for botox wearing off faster than expected are in-experienced and untrained botox injectors or the over-dilution of botox product.

However, there is another significant reason which is often not paid attention to is the improper storage of botox. It should be a part of Botox courses to train the practitioners about storage of botox and other related products.

Proper Botox Storage is Necessary

It is necessary to store Botox in a cold environment before preparation. Most of the cosmetic practitioners of clinical facilities do not have the idea that this can be one of the causes of early botox breakdown of botox injections. They do not even know if their refrigerator is set to the recommended temperature of botox product manufacturers or not.

Many of these have no thermometers to measure temperature or are hidden inside making it difficult to keep a check on a regular basis. It is surprising that most of the clinics store the botox in small regular room refrigerators or freezers which you find in the college dorm. The repeated opening of the refrigerator door can have a significant impact on the quality of botox as it cannot bear the temperature fluctuations or lower temperatures. This makes the botox ineffective or lowers the efficacy and duration of results.

Scientifically, it is called protein molecules denaturing which results in quick wearing off of botox injections.

How to prevent it?

As a trained cosmetic practitioner, you should know the proper storage of botox. There are medical grade freezers or refrigerators available which you can purchase from the specific medical distributors. These refrigerators have temperature indicator on the outside which ensures monitoring of temperature 24/7. Buy these medical refrigerators which should be attached to the generators to make sure that Botox always remains stored at the perfect temperatures and prevent your patients from claiming poor Botox results. 

Why train in PDO threadlift treatment?

When you are working in the aesthetics industry, you can survive the competition only when you are improving and upgrading your aesthetic practice while including latest cosmetic treatments to your arsenal. Otherwise, you are likely to lag behind your competitors. There are various non-surgical treatments that you can offer in your practice by getting proper and professional aesthetic training.

If you are looking for something unique and innovative to add to your practice which also adds to your revenue then opt for PDO thread lift training. It is a latest minimally invasive aesthetic treatment for facial rejuvenation. It is also known as non-surgical facelift treatment or 45 minutes facelift treatment.

What are the PDO threads?

PDO stands for the polydioxanone (PDO) threads which are used as sutures by surgeons for performing cardiac surgeries and other major surgeries. These threads dissolve in 4-6 months within the skin and don’t leave scars. They also stimulate rejuvenation of cells and growth of collagen.

In the field of aesthetics, PDO threads are used for restoring the natural facial V-shape through cheeks accentuation, tightening of the jawline and eliminating jowls. But actually, these threads can be used anywhere in the body. It has been found through experimentation that PDO threads are especially efficacious in treating lower part of face and neck. This area is challenging for aesthetic practitioners to treat with Botox and dermal fillers. The combination of injectable treatments and PDO threadlift treatment produces excellent results for the patients.

PDO threads offer numerous benefits to the patients;

●       Skin lifting and tightening

●       Skin rejuvenation and improved skin tone

●       Immediate and sustained improvement in volume

●       Improvement in skin lines and wrinkles for up to 18 months

●       Minimally invasive with little downtime

It is a highly versatile treatment which practically allows treatment of nearly all facial areas such as under the eyes, crow’s feet, forehead, cheeks, marionette lines, jawline, nasolabial folds, jowls and neck.

How does the treatment work?

The PDO threadlift treatment involves three easy steps:

1. The treatment area of the patient is numbed by injecting lidocaine injection
2. Then through the use of a small needle an ‘introducer’ port is placed in the treatment area
3. In that port, a micro-cannula or needle with PDO thread is inserted and pushed into the subdermal skin layer. The cannula is retracted while the thread is left inside the treatment area which creates a subtle lifting effect.

This treatment can be learned by doctors, nurses and medical professionals who want to have done basic botox and dermal fillers courses and have some practical experience of injecting botox and fillers.

During the PDO threadlift course the trainees are provided with the theoretical knowledge as well as practical hands-on training of performing the treatment under the supervision of professional and experienced trainers. This gives them an experience of performing real treatment but in educational settings. The trainees are also required to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the treatment on completion of the course after which certification is awarded. A good aesthetic training course also offers after training support to the trainees.
