Botox
Botox
Clostridium botulinum produces Botox which is a neurotoxin. Many people find the word “toxin” in Botox to be worrying, but it has actually been proven safe and effective for many years. It interrupts communication from the nerves to the muscles which stops them from tightening. Because of this, wrinkles and fine lines that appear from repeated movements of the face fade or soften a lot.
How Botox Works
Despite its simplicity, the use of Botox is very effective. A small needle is used to put Botox into the selected facial muscles. Injecting it causes the muscles to relax by stopping their communication with the nerves.
It softens those types of wrinkles that appear from facial gestures such as when you smile or frown.
The results of Botox usually fade after three to six months. Gradually, people can begin moving their muscles more and lots opt for further sessions to maintain their smoother results.
Applications of Botox
Botox plays many roles in both the medical and cosmetic fields. For aesthetic purposes, it is mainly applied for:
- Wrinkle Reduction: Wrinkles can be kept under control, as Botox treatment makes smile lines, frown lines and crow’s feet softer.
- Preventative Treatment: Some people choose Botox in their young thirties to prevent obvious signs of ageing from happening.
- Brow Lift: Placed correctly, Botox can lift the eyebrows and make someone look fresher and more awake.
- Jaw Contouring: Botox can flatten your jaw by weakening the masseter muscles which results in a nicer-looking jawline without needing to undergo surgery.
- Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating): Botox can reduce sweating by stopping sweat glands from being active temporarily.
Apart from cosmetic purposes, Botox is also used to deal with headaches that won’t go away, muscle stiffness, a bladder that empties too quickly and similar issues.
Safety and Side Effects
Botox is usually safe if done by an expert who has the right qualifications. Normally, the side effects are not major and disappear in a short time such as a little swelling or redness around the injection site. There are instances when the eyelids or eyebrows fall a bit, though the issue should resolve itself within weeks.
