Everyone wants to look fresh and healthy every time. Most probably,
you too want this. But, are you tired of looking tired? Do you always
look like as if you have not slept for days? Do you always look dull? If
yes, this article is only for you. In order to resolve your problem and
enhance your overall appearance, you can take help of the Botox
treatment. But, first of all, let us discuss what botox actually is.
About Botox
Botox
is a drug that is obtained from a bacteria (known as Clostridium
botulinum). This organism can be found practically everywhere in the
nature, be it the forests, sediments of rivers and lakes, cultivated
soil, et cetera. However, it is found in its inactive state. Botox is
one of the most poisonous substance known to man. Even a single gram of
botox can kill about a million of people. Yet, it is in great demand.
Botox has been the most successful and valuable therapeutic protein. It
plays an important role in the world of cosmetics. Remember, “The amount
of dose can turn a life-giving medicine into a life-taking poison.”
Mechanism of Botox
The
mechanism of Botox is quite complicated. We will try to show it to you
in the simplest way possible in this article. Firstly, Botox is injected
in very, very small concentrations into the human body. Botox, once
injected into the body, starts working immediately. Botox prevents
signals from your nerves cells reach your muscles, thus leaving your
muscles without any instructions to further contract. However, your
nerve cells still try to contract your muscles by releasing a
neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, at every point where your nerve endings
meet your muscles. On receiving acetylcholine, your muscles begin to
contract and shorten. Botox prevents this too. It prevents the release
the release of acetylcholine because of which your muscles do not
contract. Because of this, your muscles are allowed to get less stiff,
thus reducing the wrinkles on your skin. Remember that Botox can take up
to 5 days to show its effects. The injection of Botox into pregnant
women, lactating women, or those people who have had an allergy to this
drug is NOT at all recommended.
Uses of Botox
Botox has been found
useful in a variety of treatments. As mentioned earlier, Botox can be
used to lessen fine lines and wrinkles on your skin. Beyond these
aesthetic uses, Botox has been found useful in treating other medical
conditions also, including (but not limited to) migraine, overactive
bladder and excessive sweating. Currently, Botox is used to treat more
than 25 medical conditions.
