BOTULINUM
The primary cause of wrinkles and facial expressions. The movements of mimic muscles cause, for each facial expression, contraction and relaxation of the skin. Over time the skin is deeply and indelibly marked in some muscles are no longer able to relax completely. The result is a face furrowed by wrinkles and often apparent that the eyebrows remain partially knit makes it look gloomy. Botulinum toxin is a safe solution to eliminate or mitigate the formation of expression lines. It acts directly on the cause of facial wrinkles, reducing damage and without a selective activity of the muscles most involved.
WHAT '?
Botulinum toxin is produced by the bacterium in the laboratory Clostridium botulinum and has a specific action of blocking the release of acetylcholine at the junction between nerves and striated muscle (neuromuscular plates). Acetylcholine is the substance that is released from the nerve to send to the stimulus for muscle contraction. Injected in small amounts within a muscle reduces its contraction. This action is used for many years in different fields of medicine
... ... THE STORY ...
Botulinum toxin has been used for the first time in medicine in 1977per correction of strabismus. As a result, the use of botulinum toxin has spread to other branches of medicine including neurology (dystonia, blepharospasm, dyskinesias and muscle spasms), ENT (laryngeal spasm) and dermatology (hyperhidrosis). The first data on the use of the toxin in aesthetic medicine and surgery from the late '80s and concerned the treatment of frown lines, those of the root of the nose (glabellar) and crow's feet at the sides of occhi.In Italy the use of botulinum toxin has been authorized by the Ministry of Health limited to one type of drug called Vistabex (in Italy), Botox (United States) or Vistabel (in France).
INDICATIONS FOR THE TREATMENT
NOT THE DRUG IS USED TO FILL THE WRINKLE FILLERS AS THE CLASSICS (eg hyaluronic acid), BUT ONLY THE CORRECT WRINKLES and furrows caused by the MIMIC MUSCLE AND IF THEY ARE CAUSED BY 'skin aging (photoaging skin) OR IF YOU ARE VERY DEEP WRINKLES.
MAY BE PROCESSED THE FOLLOWING IMPERFECTIONS AND DISEASES:
• frown lines (horizontal wrinkles of the forehead)
• wrinkles • interciliari
lip wrinkles (around the mouth) wrinkles and furrows
• glabellar (between the eyebrows)
• legs chicken (wrinkles around the eyes) wrinkles of expression
• • facial rejuvenation lifting effect
HOW IS THE TREATMENT
Botulinum toxin is VISTABEL injected with a small syringe in moderate amounts in the mimic muscles, or those which arise as to eliminate the wrinkles.
Treatment with Botox is ambulatory, without shelter and without anesthesia, and lasts about 15-20 minutes. after which the patient can safely return home and resume all his normal activities immediately, of course following all the directions that your doctor will provide aesthetic.
after treatment with botulinum toxin ...
's face after infiltration is slightly flushed where it was the injection of Botox ®, but for a few minutes.
E 'can start make-up after just 10 minutes from the infiltration of botulinum toxin and could be exposed to the sun after about ten days. The resumption of all normal activities immediately.
Rarely can form a bruise, however, tends to narrow in a few days.
EFFECTS AND RESULTS OF BOTULINUM
The effects of botulism begin to appear after 4-5 days of treatment, and reach maximum effectiveness after about a month and then gradually disappear
effects and results of treatment with botulinum last about six months, but treatment can be repeated. Recent studies have noted that after several treatments the effect lasts longer leveling long.
The aesthetic result in those regions is so satisfactory that the botulinum toxin in recent years has virtually replaced the surgical lifting of the forehead.

The Non Surgical Facelift Non Surgical Facelift Botox is achieved by reducing the traction of the brow muscles that push down to the benefit of the muscles that push up .
The result is a lifting of the forehead and eyebrow (lifting light), can give the patient a more youthful and relaxed.
side effects and contraindications may
have side effects such as headaches, lowering or ptosis of the upper eyelid caused by inappropriate use of the toxin. THESE EFFECTS ARE VERY RARE AND OTHERWISE IN ANY EVENT COMPLETELY regresses when ceasing EFFECT OF BOTULINUM

... .. NOT ONLY WRINKLE
botulinum HYPERHIDROSIS
For all patients who suffer from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) with the infiltration of Botox ® may stop completely in sweating hands, armpits and feet.
Obviously treatment is temporary. The sweat glands are surrounded by myoepithelial cells that contract when stimulated dall'acetilcolina.
TREATMENT
The concentration of sweat glands and the abnormal amount of sweat produced in the affected area will be highlighted in the sweat test in children:
skin becomes wet with liquid Lugol, when the skin is dry part is sprinkled with powdered starch (rice or potatoes), resulting in bluish areas in direct contact with sweat.
After identifying the treatment area, it is designed and divided into small squares of about 2.1 cm2. Each box is infiltrated with a small amount of solution.
Side Effects
pain at the injection site is the most frequent side effect during treatment, especially when palmoplantar.
The use of an anesthetic to contact as ice or the application of an anesthetic cream one hour before surgery is sufficient to eliminate symptoms.
infiltration may cause minor bruising.
occasionally may have a transient weakness that occurs almost exclusively on the handheld.
ASKED QUESTIONS 'FREQUENTLY
D. E 'can be associated with other treatments?
D. In these cases, Botox can be combined with other treatments such as fillers (collagen, hyaluronic acid), peeling or other?
R. It
D. And 'painful?
R. No, thin needle through the discomfort is minimal.
D. When should the surgery?
R. The phenomenon of aging and therefore the formation of wrinkles occurs, usually after age 30 but can occur, for constitutional reasons, or excessive exposure to the phenomenon of photoaging (sun, tanning beds), already around 20 years . So it's not
can say that there is precise age to undergo this surgery, it is shown in relation to psychological discomfort and aesthetic results in the patient.
D. Botox TO DEPENDENCE?
R. No, not by physical or psychological dependence with the frequency with which repeats itself derives from the remarkable efficacy and low economic and emotional commitment it requires, but you stop when you want. It can be compared to the hair ... why do not you are addicted if you go to the hairdresser once a month to feel the nicest!
D. It 's true that treatment with botulinum toxin generates a static aspect, expressionless, unnatural?
block muscle has never total. The decrease of the movements of the forehead, glabella and crow's feet never unnatural if the treatment is performed by an experienced operator. The overall effect is to face a more relaxed and rested. The contraction of the muscles gradually resumed, and if you are not satisfied of the effect, not just repeat the treatment and everything, after a few months back as before.
D. If there are problems you can run corrections?
R. Of course, corrections can also be made 15 days after the first injection.
D. Botulinum toxin is a poison?
A. Yes, but at very high doses, as with most drugs. The amount of substance injected aesthetic use are infinitely lower than lethal. The risk of respiratory arrest or other are therefore non-existent.
D. Botulinum toxin can be dangerous?
R. If the operator is experienced and knows well the effects of the drug and the anatomy of the area to be treated, the risks are virtually nil.
The trial established the safety of botulinum toxin application in the field of beauty.
The amount used is in fact much lower doses dangerous and has been amply demonstrated that the diffusion distance from the site of inoculation of the toxin is insignificant. For this reason I have never effects of systemic poisoning were reported.
D. In the newspapers we read that often do not know the long-term effects of the toxin, is not it?
R. The first scientific work on botulism are more than 20 years ago and use in cosmetic existed for over 10 years. E 'therefore false to say that you do not know the long-term effects. It is no coincidence that the aesthetic use has been approved before in Italy, the U.S. FDA and European nations like France and Britain.
Ultimately the 'subcutaneous infiltration of small amounts of botulinum toxin for aesthetic purposes is a medical practice if not harmless, however, extremely simple. But it must be performed by a qualified doctor, and definitely not by non-medical personnel (beauticians, nurses ...)
