BOTOX
Decades ago, it was discovered that injecting Botox is an effective way to relax
overactive muscles. Botox injections contain botulinum toxin type-A. The
botulinum toxin is a type of toxin that is derived from the Clostridium
botulinum bacterium. The two types of botulinum toxins are categorized into type A and type B.
Botox injections containing diluted botulinum toxin are administered to a
target area or neuromuscular tissue. It then works its way to the nerve cells
where it breaks down synaptosomal proteins to prevent acetylcholine from
being released. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that stimulates muscle
contractions. Once acetylcholine is prevented from being released, the contracting muscles relax.
During a Botox treatment, a professional will assess and determine which
muscles will need the injections. Before administering the Botox injection
directly to the target area, anesthesia is administered. Just like any other
injection, Botox injections can sting only slightly. With anesthesia, it can
lessen the pain and ease discomfort. The Botox is then injected with the use of thin syringes into the identified muscles.
The treatment will only take 10-15 minutes and will require you to have
additional visits for follow-up. Botox injections usually last around 3-6 months
depending on the dosage. The medical practitioner will also advise you on
what to expect after every Botox treatment, and how to care for the injected area.
