Pros And Cons Of Botox

Benefits of Botox is the commercial name for the purified, diluted form of botulinum toxin, which is produced by bacteria. Rivals to Botox are Azzalure (formerly known as Dysport) and ChiTox, which also contain botulinum toxin. It is injected into muscles underneath the skin to paralyse them, creating the effect of reduced wrinkles caused by excessive, repeated movement of these muscles. It is also used to stop excessive sweating in areas including the hand, foot and armpits and also to slim the face and make it look more contoured, Botox can be injected into the muscles along the jaw. In South Korea, Botox is used in the calves to make them look slimmer.

Many aesthetic doctors now dilute Botox to different concentrations so they can treat muscles of different sizes and also “freeze” these muscles to different degrees. A more concentrated solution would be used for precise application to the eyes of the patient while a diluted solution would be used along the jawline where the muscle is larger.

Recently, there has been a new procedure called the Micro-Botox which uses micro amounts of very diluted Botox. These are injected all over the face to reduce pore size and fine lines and improve the overall skin tone.

The effects of Botox is not really permanent. It can last for about 4 months. Botox has also been used to treat muscles affected by the Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome, for muscles with an impaired ability to effectively lengthen.

Some of the downside of Botox are muscle paralysis of the wrong muscle group and allergic reaction. There are also some who report bruising at the site of injection, but this is a knows side effect not of the toxin, but rather the mode of administration. It may also cause inappropriate facial expression or double vision.

    true, the real pro’s of botox is for cases like teeth grinding, this surely relaxes muscles a whole lot but long term effects aren’t too good
