Botulinum toxin was initially associated with botulism, a disease that causes symptoms such as strabismus, diplopia (double vision), eyelid ptosis, aphonia, dysphagia, related to the consumption of sausages.
Botulinum Toxin is a drug that is applied intramuscularly, this drug blocks specific receptors in the muscle that allow its contraction, thus the muscle cannot contract, relaxing.
Since 2001, the application of botulinum toxin has been authorized as a medicine for aesthetic purposes, and it is currently the best treatment for the prevention and reduction of wrinkles. It has been scientifically proven that applying Botox at an early age reduces the appearance of static wrinkles (wrinkles that are marked without being expressed) and improves the appearance of the skin. It is a safe treatment with excellent results in trained and expert hands, who know the anatomy where the botulinum toxin is going to be applied.
The effect of the result is for a period of 4 to 6 months, then the muscle fibers are activated, resuming its contraction, reflected in the appearance of expression lines again. It is a procedure that does not require anesthesia, is not incapacitating and immediate recovery.
It has been found in diseases of the neuromuscular plate such as Myasthenia Gravis effects that worsen this disease, so it is an absolute contraindication the application of botulinum toxin or botox in patients with Myasthenia Gravis, now how do I know if I have Myasthenia Gravis or any disease of the neuromuscular plate, they are usually diseases with significant symptoms (weakness of the muscles of the arms and legs, double vision, difficulty in speaking and chewing.
The application of botulinum toxin is also not performed in pregnant women, or in patients who have signs of localized infection at the application site.
Being an outpatient procedure and quite safe, the recommendations are very relative, some of the most important are: Do not ingest aspirin if possible a week before the application to avoid bruising and it is important to make a previous medical assessment where the specialist who will treat you will explain and clarify any doubts about the procedure.
