A quick guide to Botox - By: Rick Dahne

Botulinum toxin type A, more commonly known as Botox, has been around for some years within the cosmetic surgery industry and has become a leading treatment for improving the appearance of facial wrinkles. Indeed it is one of the most popular procedures around and millions of people chose to be treated with it last year alone.

It is derived from bacteria called Clostridium, which is a toxin that can cause food poisoning and can be harmful if taken in large doses. However, small diluted quantities can be used as a muscle relaxant when injected just under the skin.

Botox is used mainly in the treatment of small lines and creases in the facial area. This is administered by a small injection into the facial muscles. Lines appear when chemicals that are produced by the nerve cells cause the facial muscles to contract. This then produces those unwelcome wrinkles. Botox can be used to block those signals which cause the muscled contraction to lessen, and creates a smooth facial appearance.

If you are considering Botox then you can reduce the lines around the forehead, say goodbye to crow’s feet and banish any frown lines. Creases around the mouth area can also be treated with Botox.
London is a great place to look for a suitable practitioner. It is a recognised treatment but you need to ensure that the practitioner is well qualified and has experience in this type of procedure. However there are certain people who should avoid this type of treatment such as pregnant or breastfeeding women or anyone who has a condition that adversely affects the muscles or nerves. During treatment you will discuss any medical history with the surgeon and look at what areas should be treated.
