Purtox is an injectible solution that will be administered in the facial muscles and is meant to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Even if the FDA approval is pending, this procedure is safe and can be applied in patients with all skin types.
Purtox Effects on Oily Skin
Certain cosmetic procedures may have different effects in patients with oily skin. However, Purtox is a treatment that will not affect the skin in any way, as the injection is administered under the skin. Purtox contains the botulinum toxin which is diluted and will affect the facial muscles, but will not affect the surface of the skin.
Purtox is safe in patients with oily skin and the effects will be the same as in patients with normal or dry skin. The injections will not cause dryness or excessive oiliness.
One possible side effect that may occur in all patients, regardless of the type of skin, is a headache, which can persist for up to 2 days after the administration of the Purtox injections.
In patients with oily skin, the effects of Purtox may be more durable, but may also depend on the age and health of the patient.
