Botox the short form for Botulinum Toxin, which is a strain of botulism, a powerful poison. When a minute amount of Botox is injected into a muscle, it weakens the muscle contraction. Botox is often used for treatment of Benign Essential Tremor, Spasmodic Dysphonia, and infrequently Muscle Tension Dysphonia. It is a highly toxic poison that is used to temporarily reduce the number of deep wrinkles around the mouth, around the eyes, by the nose, and on the forehead.
Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium, and it must be administered by an authorized healthcare professional. Botox Cosmetic is mostly used to reduce frown lines between the eyebrows. It is injected into the muscle and temporarily paralyzes it, making it impossible to use that muscle until the Botox wears off about 4 months later.
Food and Drug Administration approved Botox as safe and is used in the treatment of spasms and involuntary muscle contractions which are commonly seen in the likes of blepharospasm, cervical dystonia and strabismus. Even though Botox is a specific commercial product the word is used more generally to describe the popular skin care treatment to reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines.
For the last few years Botox has grown in popularity to such a degree that people now attend "Botox Parties". At these parties people have the treatment in a social rather than a medical setting. This phenomenon has alarmed the FDA who have responded by warning that having the treatment while consuming alcohol is dangerous as it causes an increase in bruising.
Although Botox is the most popular substance used in this anti-aging treatment there are other products by other companies such as the Dysport brand which can be used as an alternative. Although the procedure produces amazing results the dramatic removal of the ability of making facial expressions is removed. Subsequently many people prefer to have different anti-wrinkle treatments such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels.
Doctors treat millions of Americans with Botox cosmetic every year to reduce the appearance of frown lines on their face. Botox provides a safe, inexpensive and fast treatment option. If your favorite celebrity or close friend has inspired you to think about getting Botox injections, some basic preparation can ensure that you get the most from your treatment. Read on to learn how to get Botox treatments for women.
