Get Informed – What You need to know about Botox treatment
When you understand the facts about Botox treatment and treatment with related products, you’re a better client. Informed patients understand what botulinum toxin A is, the amazing potential benefits a Botox clinic can provide and the potential side effects and concerns as well. Here are some relevant facts:
- Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are purified botulinum toxin A products that are used to reduce wrinkles and for other purposes. They prevent nerves from contracting the muscles that cause wrinkles, softening the appearance of lines and often eliminating them altogether.
- No cosmetic treatment is more popular than Botox. A staggering 6 million Botox treatment procedures are administered every year, most without complications.
- Botox is made from Clostridium botulinum, a natural organism that is non-toxic and mostly inactive in its natural state.
- Botox treatment and treatment with related products works by paralyzing underlying muscles, preventing some wrinkles from forming over time and reducing the appearance of those already present.
- The botulinum toxin can be used successfully to treat migraines, muscle disorders, bladder and bowel conditions and excessive sweating, among other things.
- Botulinum toxin can cause botulism, an infection that can lead to respiratory failure and even death, but the risk of this condition from cosmetic or therapeutic Botox is very small since millions are successfully treated without significant side effects every year.
Medical And Cosmetic Uses Of Botox Treatment
Most people who go to a Botox clinic want to reduce wrinkles causes by squinting, smiling, frowning, excessive muscle movement and other actions. But Botox can be used for other purposes too. A wide range of medical conditions respond positively to Botox treatment.
Botulinum toxin products are approved for the following uses:
- creases between the eyebrows, called glabellar lines
- crow’s feet, called canthal lines
- brow lift
- lines beside the nose and mouth, called nasolabial folds
- eyelid spasm, called blepharospasm
- severe neck and shoulder spasms, called idiopathic rotational cervical dystonia
- recurring migraine headaches
- excessive sweating, called severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis
- crossed eyes, called strabismus
- upper limb spasticity after a stroke
- urinary incontinence
- overactive bladder
- a nueromuscular disease called hemifacial spasm
In addition, a Botox clinic may use botulinum toxin off-label for treating:
- difficulty swallowing from achalasia
- anismus and anal fissures
- hypersalivation
- allergic rhinitis
- hepatopancreatic issues
- cerebral palsy
- jaw, face and tongue contractions from oromandibular dystonia
- vocal chord constriction from laryngeal dystonia
- and more
How Botox Treatment Is Administered
Botulinum toxin is diluted in saline and injected into nerve or muscle tissue at a Botox clinic or other medical facility. Effect begins in 24 to 72 hours and happens because the toxin disrupts your body’s natural synaptosomal process. In some cases, it can take up to 5 days to achieve the full effect.
It is important that Botulinum toxin is not used by pregnant or lactating women or by people who have previously experienced an allergic reaction to Botox treatment or any ingredients of the products.
