By Coleen Torres


It is a neurotoxin produced by a bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum. This bacteria produces three kinds of toxins and Botox is classified under type A together with Dy sport and Xeomin. Other forms of botulinum toxin is MyoBloc classified under type B. They are mainly used for medical procedures in the cosmetic industries though it started off as a therapeutic agent.

The most popular is BTX-A which was first used in 1989 by a plastic surgeon from California doctor Richard Clark to get rid of wrinkles and frown lines on the face. The results were tremendous and this led to approval of BTX-A in 2002 in America. Women are always looking for ways of maintaining their youth and avoiding as much as possible the harsh reality of aging. It is very common in Anchorage city probably due to the warm weather that affects the skin harshly.

Doctors in Anchorage city have popularized the use of the injection although other beauty creams containing the ingredient are readily available in the market. Their clientele is from all over the world as they keep coming back due to the good results.It perfectly reduces the wrinkles on the face and the results are mainly recommendable. It has almost no effect on wrinkles caused by the sun, harsh weather and gravity.

The injection only takes a few minutes. The results can be noticed mostly in a weeks time. The effect of the drug is to completely relax the affected muscle thus contracting the frown lines.The effect dies off in a range of between four to six months depending on the quantity of the drug and the patient.

Each session enables the muscles to contract and relax, this leads to the disappearing of frown lines. For the procedure to be a complete success it is of value to consult your doctor prior to actual treatment three weeks as they may advice you to stop drinking alcohol, taking aspirin or other drugs. For patients with nerve disorders, those that are pregnant and breastfeeding, the treatment is never recommended.

The side effects that may occur include slight headaches within twenty four hours of receiving the treatment.drooping of the eyelids, double vision and mild inflammation of eyes. Bruising of injected area is also a common side effect.

Adverse effects may range among chest pains, stomach pains, muscle weakness, problems swallowing and maybe talking, back pain, stiff neck, loss of appetite, skin problems or even diarrhea. This may be due to the drug inability to settle on the targeted area and therefore move to other parts that it was not intended to move.

This is not the only medical use of BTX-A. It is also used to treat other nerve disorders like cerebral palsy, severe headaches that refuse to go away, stroke and trauma.It is sometimes used to treat anal fissure, vocal cords disorders, or even viginismus.
