use for cosmetic purposes (rejuvenation of the upper face, forehead and eyebrows), however, in Italy has been approved in more recent times, by the way in 2002.
What
The botulinum neurotoxin is a protein produced by a bacterium, Clostridium botulinum, which blocks the transmission of nerve impulses and reduces muscle contraction. In aesthetic medicine using only a fraction (type A), purified and diluted in saline.
How and where you are working
After a careful study of facial expressions of the person, the physician practice in selected areas many small injections, which paralyze the muscles underlying the result to stretch out the skin.
Go to photo gallery before and after cases
Technically, the botulinum toxin inhibits the secretion of the substance that allows the muscle to contract, or acetylcholine, resulting in a "lifting effect".
areas of choice for periocular wrinkles and botulinum toxin are the eyebrow (used, for example, to raise and "open" look), but also the wrinkles on the forehead. In other terms, botulism is suitable to correct expression lines originating from the movements of muscles (the muscles called "fur"), which "build" the facial expression.
How long does
The effect is temporary, with an average duration of 4-6 months and you begin to highlight a week after infiltration. The micro-injections of botulinum toxin, of course, are not toxic, are not particularly painful and cause swelling.
Contraindications As with any therapeutic agent for topical use as well as by injection, there is a theoretical risk of a hypersensitivity reaction or the product itself to the additives it contains, which in any case it is directly proportional to the amount given.
In particular, current formulations of botox are contraindicated for people with allergies to milk, for use as a preservative albumin. In addition, botulinum toxin is not recommended during pregnancy and lactation.

Botox is an effective solution for hyperhidrosis of the armpits, hands and feet. Under local anesthesia, the Botox is injected under the skin with microneedles to block the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is involved in the release of sweat. Just one session, to be repeated after 6-8 months. The result is immediate and there are no side effects. There is also the
MESOBOTOX
The mesobotox is one of the most interesting methods in the field of rejuvenation. It consists of microleakage of botulinum toxin in very diluted form, almost homeopathic, along with cocktail of amino acids and vitamins, which aim to correct the oval of the face, cheeks and dropping the profile of chin and neck.
The action of vitamins, combined with the paralyzing botox, smooths skin and gives a lifting effect.
The treatment is safe and provides only a slight discomfort from the injections given.

THREE key questions about BOTOX
is justifiable alarm fire botox abroad some time ago?
No, because as shown by rigorous scientific studies, the use of botox for cosmetic purposes does not cause any significant side effects. And in 20 years of use, with more than one million people in the mountain treated with Botox for this purpose that has not been any reported event proved fatal. The doses used, in fact, are minor and absolutely no systemic effect: it is estimated that the minimum lethal dose is approximately sixty times the amount aesthetic.
Botox can "leak" into other parts of the face?
The microinjections of botox are made in specific areas, namely on top of the face, on the forehead and eyebrows. The drug approved by the Ministry of Health, which does not require pre-tests, spread in a controlled manner.
The result may be disappointing?
The risk of complications is minimal, but must be considered. One of the consequences, there might be an asymmetry in facial expression. Or if injected incorrectly, botulinum toxin can give a "stare and expressionless. But if it happens, in 90% of cases a doctor may solve the aesthetic problem.
