It was during the medication of the eye defects, that the doctors noticed the reduction of wrinkles around the eye and thus it was tested and approved to be used on the forehead for removal of fine lines and wrinkles. However, botolinum is highly deadly and toxic
but if used in smaller amounts can be used safely to treat variety of
conditions. It should also be noted that botox is used only for the wrinkles between the areas of the eyebrows.
Cosmetically botox reduces the wrinkles and its effects last temporarily but it has many side effects too because of which botox is also avoided at many places. Botox works on the nerves to reduce the wrinkles and the fine lines formed. Wrinkles and these lines are formed by the constant facial expressions that are formed, from being happy to sad and every other expression in between. This constant exercise of the muscles of making expressions makes the skin lose its resilience. Botox is injected to block the signals that constantly work on the muscles to give the expressions.This blocking weakens the targeted muscle and thus less wrinkles show up and the skin seems to be more youthful. This effect can be seen within few weeks to a month of intaking the injection.
Botox is inserted into the muscle via a needle and thus no anesthesia is required. The botulinum is a toxin which itself means toxic materials of plants, animals, microorganisms etc and may include the poisonous substance or biological product. Thus like all applications botox too has some side effects which may be said to be transient mild to moderate. Patients may complain of droopy eyelids, allergic reactions, paralysis of incorrect muscles, feel like having flu, headache or upset stomach. If botox is not taken in the right way and in the right amount chances of botulism may increase. So it is advisable that botox is taken after a consultation and under the supervision of a good practitioner.
There are different opinions on the intake of the botox injections as some practitioner’s advice taking any kind of alcohols a week prior to the intake of the injection, and some medical drugs two week prior to the intake of the injection. This helps in reduction of the chances of bruises that may occur post treatment.
Botox is only FDA proven and can be used by people between the age group of 18 to 65. But not all people under that age group are eligible for botox treatment. People with muscular or neurological disorders and allergies are advised to consult the doctor before taking the treatment. Women who are breastfeeding or are pregnant should completely avoid taking botox treatment.
