Perhaps, one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the USA is the Botox. In 2001, around 1.6 million American people underwent the Botox treatment. Initially used for eye spasm and eye misalignment treatments, by 2002, Botox gained popularity for cosmetic use as well.
Botulinum Toxin Type is the derivation of Botox. This protein complex is produced by a bacterium that has around the same toxin results that are caused by food poisoning. This works by blocking the release of acetylcholine which is a chemical that body's nerve cell's release. One can say that it effectively blocks just about every electrical message for muscle movement and contraction that is sent by the brain to the particular part of the body. Hence, the chances of developing fine lines and wrinkles on the face are lessened as the messages, which cause these results, are altogether blocked.
Several small injections are involved in the Botox treatment procedure. These injections are administered in the areas where fine lines as well as wrinkles might occur. The location, use and size of the muscles determine where these injections are administered. Anesthesia cream is applied in the region of treatment if required. The time duration of the treatment is around thirty minutes and the result of the treatment is visible only after around 6 months from the date of the treatment.
Benefits of Botox:
Botox has been known to reduce fine lines, signs of aging and wrinkles to a large extent as compared to other surgeries and cosmetic procedures. Though it is never successful in completely eradicating aging signs, it certainly has the capacity to reduce aging to a noticeable extent. It causes the skin to look better and smoother. A few weeks are required before the actual results of the Botox injections can come to light. Generally speaking the results start at days 3-4 and maximum result of one treatment is achieved at day 14. However, any permanent lines or pigmentation with then gradually improve as the skin is not folding over the next few months
