Botox
continues to have a bad reputation because it is sometimes referred to as a poisonous toxin. But while the onabotulinumtoxinA is a neurotoxin, it's certainly not poisonous. While its popularity continues to increase, so does the misinformation surrounding this procedure.Many people may wonder if it's a bad thing to get Botox, which gives the treatment negative implications. Botox is a neurotoxin that attacks facial muscles commonly associated with wrinkles and fine lines. Initially, Botox was intended for people with squinting eyes, and soon there were case studies that showed that it also had great benefits in stopping muscle spasms, especially in the face. It's much safer to undertreat BOTOX; there's nothing you can do if you take too much BOTOX, except waiting for the effects to wear off, so doctors tend to be a little conservative the first time you they care for a patient.
The frozen appearance that many have associated with Botox is usually the result of an overdose or an inexperienced injector. Preventive Botox is gaining popularity now that people understand the evidence and facts behind this procedure. Botox is not used to correct or diminish facial imperfections, but it does help to relax and prevent wrinkles or other intense marks on the face. As doctors administered Botox treatments to patients with crossed eyes and eyelid spasms, they noticed that those patients were also starting to have fewer headaches.
The goal of Botox treatment is to smooth wrinkles and help the patient look refreshed, not emotionless. According to a study on anti-aging treatment, one in six people who have Botox injected into their face suffers from complications such as bruises, headache, nausea and “frozen features”. Professor David Sines, president of the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners, an industry watchdog that campaigns for stricter botox control, said the new study highlights that treatment can be dangerous. There are still many other uses that are being tested for Botox, such as treatment for all kinds of uses, from depression to premature ejaculation, to pain during sexual intercourse and abnormal heartbeats.
In addition to cosmetic solutions, Botox can improve teeth grinding, soften the chin of a golf ball, reduce armpit sweat, improve upper lip definition (lip flop) and correct a gummy smile. The first thing to know about Botox is that it always does the same thing no matter where it's used. Zargaran and his colleagues are concerned that people without adequate training inject Botox into their face and not the substance itself, which has been approved for various medical purposes in the United Kingdom.
