Everybody is searching for the fountain of youth, a way to everlasting beauty as the years add up to one’s life. Over the decades, science has come up with procedures to defer the signals of aging. One of these is through Botox injections.
Botox is actually the commercial name or trademark of a drug whose main ingredient is botulinum toxin. Though considered to be the most poisonous protein around further studies have shown that this same protein can actually be helpful if used in small quantities. Such discovery made Botox one of the most in demand cosmetic drugs for the removal of wrinkles.
The FDA authorized Botox in 1989 for commercial distribution. Later it became the most popular cosmetic drug in the market.
Botox was initially used to treat muscle spasms as it can decrease muscular activity. Botox can do that because it primarily blocks the release of the substance called acetylcholine. As such, the immediate muscles where Botox is injected to won’t contract for as long as 6 months.
Later, Botox was found to be effective in reducing fine lines and the wrinkles found in the face. By injecting just a small amount of Botox to the facial area, all your laugh lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and worry lines would disappear.
After injecting Botox to the face, the skin would appear smooth and unwrinkled. Even, in the areas where the drug isn’t administered, the muscles continue to contract and the person’s facial expression remains the same.
