Botox Cosmetic:
Botulinum toxin (most commonly known in
the US as Botox) is a natural, purified
protein with the ability to interrupt
the chemical messages released by nerve
endings. Botox Cosmetic is the only FDA
approved treatment for temporary
reduction of moderate to severe frown
lines.
The lines that appear between your brows
actually are a result from muscle
movement and the passage of time when
the muscles contract, they draw they
brows together. As the skin become less
elastic overtime, repeated frowning can
result in those moderate to severe lines
between your brows.
Botox cosmetic works by blocking nerve
impulses, which reduces the movement of
those muscles. With less movement, the
skin surface gradually smoothes out and
the moderate to severe frown lines
between your brows slowly begin to fade.
Botox Cosmetic is a quick and minimally
invasive treatment. Your doctor makes a
few tiny injections into the muscles
that cause the stubborn lines. Within
days there is a noticeable improvement
where wrinkles once resided. There is no
recovery or down time and results last
up to four months.
Hyperhidrosis:
excessive sweating of the palms, feet or
underarms.
For hyperhidrosis, botulinum toxin works
by blocking the nerves that stimulate
the sweat glands. Using botulinum toxin
to alleviate the symptoms of
hyperhidrosis is a promising new
approach. Research has shown that
treating armpit, hand, facial, and
gustatory (related to salivation or
eating) hyperhidrosis with botulinum
toxin is safe and effective. In recent
studies, when botulinum toxin was
injected into under arm areas affected
by hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating was
relieved for an average of seven months.
And 28% of those studied, the anhidrosis
(or lack of sweating) lasted sixteen
months.
When treatment of underarm hyperhidrosis
with topical antiperspirants has been
unsuccessful, botulinum toxin is a
highly effective and convenient
alternative. The injections can be
performed in a physicians office,
require little time, and do not demand
any restrictions in work or leisure
activity (aside from refraining from
intensive exercise or the use of a sauna
on the day of the injections).
