WHAT IS BOTOX?
Also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A, Botox is formed from
the bacteria which cause botulism. The Botulinum toxin causes a reduction in
muscle activity temporarily by blocking the nerve activity in the muscles.
Botox is known to be used for the treatment of cervical dystonia and muscle
spasms in the upper and lower limbs as well. It is also used in treating severe
underarm sweating. Certain eye conditions which have been caused due to nerve
disorders are also treated using Botox. Overactive bladder and incontinence
caused due to nerve disorders like spinal cord injury etc. are also treated
using it. Botox is also used in cosmetic procedures to temporarily reduce
facial wrinkles.Botulinum toxin injections block certain chemical signals from
nerves, mostly signals that cause muscles to contract. The most common use of
these injections is to temporarily relax the facial muscles that underlie and
cause wrinkles, such as:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow's-feet, the lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes
- Forehead furrows
Botulinum toxin injections are also used to treat conditions
that affect how the body functions. Examples include:
- Cervical dystonia. In this painful condition, your neck muscles contract involuntarily causing your head to twist or turn into an uncomfortable position
- Lazy eye. The most common cause of lazy eye is an imbalance in the muscles responsible for positioning the eye.
- Muscle contractures. Some neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, can cause your limbs to pull in toward your center. In some cases, these contracted muscles can be relaxed with botulinum toxin injections.
- Hyperhidrosis. In this condition, excessive sweating occurs even when the temperature isn't hot and you're not exerting yourself.
- Chronic migraine. If you experience migraines more than 15 days a month, botulinum toxin injections may help reduce headache frequency.
- Bladder dysfunction. Botulinum toxin injections can also help reduce urinary incontinence caused by an overactive bladder.
- Eye twitching. Botulinum toxin injections may help relieve contracture or twitching of muscles around the eye.
It is important to choose a doctor who is well experienced
and certified by an official board to perform such treatments. The skill and
technique of the doctor who injects the Botox decides the course and experience
of the treatment. It is important to do thorough research and find a doctor who
specializes in facial anatomy. Best skin clinic in Bhubaneswar is also ideal to consult more than one doctor before
availing the treatment.
Transparency with the Doctor:
It is important to be transparent with the doctor about your
medical history. This will help the doctor to decide if you are an ideal
candidate for the treatment and administer it safely. Before receiving the
cosmetic Botox make your doctor aware of the following:
- Any medications, supplements, or herbs you are taking.
- Any history of forms of allergies.
- If you are suffering from any medical conditions, illnesses or diseases.
- If you have or intent to have any medical procedures, such as surgeries, other Botox treatment etc.
- If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to conceive.
