Enhancing Beauty By Use Of Botox

By Coleen Torres


It is a neurotoxin produced by a bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum. This bacteria produces three kinds of toxins and Botox is classified under type A together with Dy sport and Xeomin. Other forms of botulinum toxin is MyoBloc classified under type B. They are mainly used for medical procedures in the cosmetic industries though it started off as a therapeutic agent.

Its use in reducing wrinkles was initiated by doctor Richard Clark of California in 1989.This methodology became very popular and it spread, this led to its approval in the year 2002 in America. Pressure from society is always pushing women to outdo each other in order to appear younger than their real age. Anchorage city is well known for its contribution to this field, maybe due to the warm climate that can have some negative effects on the skin.

Anchorage city is well known for its stride in using the injection, though there are a good number of beauty creams that contain it as the main ingredient. The doctors in this city have a good number of patients and receive a good booking from all over the world and the clients keep coming back. The effectiveness in reducing the wrinkles and frown lines keeps customers wanting more of it. It is of significance to note that it does not give the same results on lines caused by the sun or gravity.

The procedure only takes few minutes and its through the use of an injection. The effects of the drug always start to be seen around a weeks time. It relaxes the injected muscles completely through contraction of the nerves.After four to six months most people go for another session as the treatment starts to wear off.It may vary according to the amount of drug used or the biological factors of the patient.

Each session enables the muscles to contract and relax, this leads to the disappearing of frown lines. For the procedure to be a complete success it is of value to consult your doctor prior to actual treatment three weeks as they may advice you to stop drinking alcohol, taking aspirin or other drugs. For patients with nerve disorders, those that are pregnant and breastfeeding, the treatment is never recommended.

Like any medical procedure this too has side effects. The most common ones are drooping of the eyelids and slight headaches that may last up to a day. Bruising on the affected part or the area surrounding it is another common side effect. Inflammation of the eyes and having double vision is another negative effect.

Allergic reactions, problems swallowing and talking, skin rash, chest pains, loose bladder stomach pain, muscle weakness, diarrhea, loss of appetite, increased sweating, back pains and stiffness on the neck are some of the severe negative effects if the injection as the drug may refuse to settle on the targeted area and spread to other areas of the body.

This is not the only medical use of BTX-A. It is also used to treat other nerve disorders like cerebral palsy, severe headaches that refuse to go away, stroke and trauma.It is sometimes used to treat anal fissure, vocal cords disorders, or even viginismus.
