What is botulinum toxin? . That’s probably what you’re wondering. Since the end of the last century, botulinum toxin has gained strength as a reliable treatment to delay the signs of aging. However, many people still do not know exactly what botulinum toxin is and how it works as a treatment to preserve youth. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this article we will clear all your doubts. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is botulinum toxin?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

It is a substance that is injected into a specific place on a person’s body. This substance essentially blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. Botulinum toxin type A, which is used in cosmetic applications, is produced from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum<\/em> and is injected in small, controlled quantities. The FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) recommends that you do not exceed a total of 360 units in a 3-month period.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On average, a person usually receives doses of between 8 and 20 units on the forehead for wrinkles, just for perspective. This is well below the maximum recommended amount.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the history of botulinum toxin?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

So how did this procedure begin? What would make people decide to inject botulinum toxin?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It started with scientists trying to use botulinum toxin to treat strabismus. When they were in the testing phases, they observed that it also reduced frown lines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And thus botulinum toxin was born as a cosmetic treatment.<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After testing was completed and it was named botulinum toxin, it received FDA approval for a variety of uses, both medical and cosmetic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How is botulinum toxin applied?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

After knowing what botulinum toxin is, you will want to know how it is applied. Here we tell you:<\/p>\n

Botulinum toxin is usually administered with a small gauge needle and the area may be pre-treated with a topical anesthetic to counteract any discomfort. Specifically for the procedure, botulinum toxin is diluted in saline and injected into the neuromuscular tissue. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Botulinum toxin aims to prevent certain muscles from contracting. The science behind this is that the neurotoxins in botulinum toxin target the nervous system. This disrupts signaling between neurons. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Therefore, this disruption may help cosmetically, by reducing the appearance of wrinkles<\/a> or helping with muscle medical conditions. When, for example, the forehead muscles cannot contract, they begin to look flatter and softer.
