Botox is widely known as an aesthetic treatment that reduces the appearance of lines and folds on the skin. Botox is a pure form of protein that serves as a neurotoxin. Botox is derived from a natural bacteria substance called Bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. For more than 20 years, medical practices utilized Botox in small doses to treat cosmetics, muscular spasms and muscular disorders of the eye. In 1989 Botox was approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for eye muscle disorders and was approved again by the FDA in 2002 for cosmetic purposes.
According to the Laser and Skin Therapy Center of New York, Botox is a safe non-surgical procedure that became popular for its cosmetic use as a treatment for wrinkles. The center also explains that neurologists use Botox to treat specific types of headaches . Treatment involving Botox addresses areas such as the forehead, neck, crow’s feet, upper lip and chin. Botox may also be used to treat Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis Parkinsonism, and spasms.
What does the Botox Procedure Involve?
The procedure takes a few minutes. An injection of Botox into a grouping of face muscles will cause the muscles to relax. The substance blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals the muscles to contract, to nerves and muscles.
What are the side effects and risks?
A common side effect of Botox treatment is a mild swelling around the area that the injection took place. At rare times a bruise may develop at the same area that may last for a few days.
What is involved in recovery?
The day of treatment you need to exercise the areas injected through relaxing and contracting the muscles for two to three hours to allow your body to absorb Botox. Refrain from rubbing or massaging the areas for several hours. Avoid heavy exercise for one day.
How long does the treatment last?
The full effects of Botox may take up to a few days to become visible. Botox is not a permanent solution for wrinkles. Botox usually lasts from three to six months and may produce visible results as soon as 48 hours after the procedure.
