Botox treatments are considered an exciting way to treat wrinkles and more. It uses the Botulinum Toxin Type A, which is a specific type of bacteria. It has been used for many years to treat cosmetic conditions like muscle spasms on the face and this was how it was discovered as a treatment for facial wrinkles. This is a particular brand made by a globally known pharmaceutical company called ‘Allergan, Inc.’ Cosmetic specialists use small doses and directly inject Botox to a specific area.
How it works
Botox works by releasing a neurotransmitter which used to be known as ‘acetylcholine’. It is found in the nerve cells of the body and transmits nerve impulses to muscle cells, causing them to contract. The muscle cell becomes weak when acetylcholine is not present and Botox injections are restricted to these specific areas that are under treatment. This is because its effects are temporary and nerve fibers regenerate on their own after a few months.
Botox treatments are used for different medical conditions such as:
• Twitching of the eyelid (blepharospasm)
• Proper alignment of the eyes (strabismus)
• Muscle spasticity
• Muscle spasms in the neck (cervical dystonia) and
• Muscle spasms in the face or other localized area
There are also those who make use of Botox to help reduce their excessive underarm sweating. Sweat glands that are controlled by nerve cells are blocked and treat localized hyperhidrosis when a person’s underarms are injected directly with the said bacteria.
During cosmetic treatments, they treat vertical frown lines found between the eyebrows and are known as‘’glabellar lines”. They appear when the muscles contract whenever an individual squints, frowns, and concentrates. Botox injections are also used to reduce the appearance of horizontal lines located on the forehead and lines found around the corner of one’s eyes, which are known as "crow's feet".
Botox to treat wrinkles
This substance treats wrinkles, specifically on the face, by causing its muscles to weaken or become paralyzed and by pulling the skin. Those who undergo this type of treatment usually notice results after about a week. After the injections and disappearance of lines and wrinkles, patients will have improved appearance up to 6 months, after which another treatment can be repeated. The effects tend to last longer with continued use of Botox injections.
Risks and Side-effects
These types of treatments should only be done by medical professionals who have plenty of experience in this particular field. As with other procedures, Botox treatments have side effects associated with them. A person may notice bruising, tenderness, and pain around the injected area. It is also common for most individuals to experience a minor headache, nausea, and flu-like symptoms after the treatment. It is advised that pregnant women should not undergo this particular treatment. If you would like to get Botox injections, be sure to consult a certified medical professional beforehand.
