A Review Article on Complication of Botulinum Toxin and Enhancing Beauty through Ayurveda

Roshan R. Patil

Abstract


Individual beauty brings pleasure or happiness. Every person, male or female, desires to satisfy their senses. Cosmetology has evolved into an important element of complementary medical science. The traditional science of medicine ayurveda is also gaining popularity in this field, as the usage of herbs for beauty grows by the day. Cosmeceuticals are materials used for enhancing appearance and prevent early ageing effects. Cosmeceuticals enhance skin texture, complexion, stiffness, wrinkle reduction, and provide anti-aging benefits. Ayurvedic cosmetics not only enhance skin beauty but also provide protection against external factors. Herbal skincare items not only provide cosmetic benefits, but they also serve as skin nutrients, reducing the effects of early ageing. Sandalwood oil contains natural ingredients such as curcumin, ginseng,  ginkgo biloba, chamomile, licorice, and aloe vera, which provide anti-aging and cosmetic benefits.

In this post, we discussed the difficulties and adverse effects of botulinum toxin. India could become a big contributor to the global skincare sector. This will be achievable because one of India's assets is its Ayurvedic culture.

Aims: In this review, we will focus on the hazards of fillers and botulinum toxin, as well as the methodology and potential of Ayurvedic herbs as anti-aging therapy.

Result-Botulinum toxin frequently leads to brow ptosis and asymmetry, while fillers may trigger local injection-related problems including erythema, edoema, discomfort, and ecchymosis.
