Botulinum toxin is a substance classified as a neurotoxin generated by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. In recent years, its use has become popular in the field of aesthetic medicine due to its proven anti-wrinkle effect. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys, from Sonrisa Perfecta Dental in Cartagena, briefly explains its main benefits.
In aesthetic medicine, botulinum toxin acts through the use of micropunctures that are applied to specific areas of the area to be treated. This is a non-invasive treatment with which it is possible to inhibit the nerve impulse of the muscles. In this way, noticeably smoother and wrinkle-free skin is obtained.
Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys details 6 of its main benefits, even beyond the merely aesthetic:
1. It is ideal for immediately reducing facial wrinkles. The result looks natural and does not have the side effects of other procedures.
2. Its results are more noticeable after about 10 or 12 days. Its effects remain visible for a period of up to 6 months.
3. It has an ascending effect over time. Each treatment with botulinum toxin ‘educates’ the skin, as it gets used to staying relaxed. Thus the effects are prolonged in the tempo with each application.
4. It is suitable as a wrinkle prevention or retardant method. That is, it can be used by people who do not have signs of aging or expression lines and wish to prolong their youthful appearance.
5. Its effectiveness has been proven as a temporary therapeutic remedy for the treatment of people who suffer from recurrent migraines. This is due to its relaxing property.
6. That same condition makes botulinum toxin beneficial for the treatment of bruxism. With small infiltrations in the muscles responsible for chewing (masseters) it is possible to relax the mandibular area.
