Cosmetic and Therapeutic Use – Botox

It prevents the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine at the nerve axon junctions, thereby causing spastic paralysis. Also known as botulinum toxin A, it generally produces an effect within one to two days after treatment. The disease botulism is caused by the neurotoxin.

  1. Cosmetic and Therapeutic Use – Botox

  2. Botox (botulinum toxin) is a protein neurotoxin produced by the same bacterium Clostridium botulism and other species worldwide. It prevents the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine at the nerve axon junctions, thereby causing spastic paralysis. Also known as botulinum toxin A, it generally produces an effect within one to two days after treatment. The disease botulism is caused by neurotoxin.

  3. Muscle contraction phase : A Botox injection is generally given during the muscle contraction phase of muscle fatigue or in various parts of the body, especially the facial muscles. The process of Botox administration is similar to that of muscle paralysis, with the difference that instead of a blood supply to the affected area, the toxin produced affects a fluid that drains from the injected area. The fluid is enriched with the neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Generally, there is very little reaction to food poisoning and dehydration, although patients may still experience allergic reactions such as itching or redness in the treated area.

  4. Strabismus : The medical term used to describe this condition is Strabismus. The symptoms are often very mild, and in some cases, the patient will not experience any symptoms. However, the toxin injected into the muscles can cause the muscles to contract unexpectedly, resulting in a temporary muscle tone loss. In several months, the patients’ motor coordination gradually improves, and in some patients, the paralysis vanishes altogether. Botox injection into muscles has been in use since 1960, with the FDA first approving it for strabismus treatment in 1970. At that time, it was called botulinum neurotoxin A. The drug was associated with several side effects, including muscle weakness and difficulty in swallowing. It took several months for the FDA to approve the Botox drug for this purpose, and it was not until 1983 that it was approved for general use. Since then, numerous studies have been done, and the results have been consistent with the benefits seen with the Botox injection into muscles. Also, the FDA has authorized the use of Botox for other conditions such as facial wrinkles and excessive sweating, thus expanding its use.

  5. Paralytic purpose : Although Botox can be used for paralytic purposes, it is also being used for cosmetic use. The Botox injector carefully injects the neurotoxin into the facial muscles to temporarily inhibit nerve transmission. Because Botox does not have a lasting effect, patients are often amazed at how quickly the paralysis symptoms fade away. Patients have found that Botox makes their facial muscles feel relaxed and rejuvenated, making them look younger. Botox is usually injected directly into the muscles that have been affected by the tremor or other movement disorder. Once injected, it blocks the transmissions between the nerves and allows for more natural movement. However, since Botox only affects certain nerves and not the nerves that supply facial muscles, some people with Botox have reported experiencing headaches after injecting the toxin. Also, there have been some cases where breathing problems have occurred following injections of Botox.

  6. Drooping Eyelids : Botox can also be used to treat drooping eyelids. Botox can help restore these drooping eyelids when drooping eyelids cause an individual to look tired, aged, or worn out. For this treatment, Botox is injected directly into the muscles that cause the eyelids to droop. As is the case with the paralysis treatment, there may be some side effects after injecting Botox into the muscles, but most patients report that they do not have any severe side effects. These side effects include a few mild headaches and nausea. As you can see, both cosmetic and therapeutic use of Botox are beneficial. Because Botox can be used to improve your muscles’ strength and help with drooping eyelids, Botox can also be used to improve your overall appearance. Botox can be injected in many different body areas, but the most popular locations are typically the face, neck, and hands. Before considering Botox as a treatment method, speak to a professional to find out whether it would be right for you.
