Bacterial Toxins which Stops Wrinkles on Face

There are number of reasons to appearing wrinkles on face. Few of those are ageing, genetically causes and mental stress. Therefore this can also be seen among middle age and younger.

We can reduce or cover the pimples or pores using various cosmetics. But wrinkles could not hid easily. Some dermatologists inject a bacterial toxin for muscles of face. This is called Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A). Bacterial toxins are biochemical toxins generate by some bacteria cells. Those bacteria use toxins for beat other cells. Those toxins can be categorized as neurotoxins, cytotoxins and enterotoxins. BTX-A is a neurotoxin. BTX-A extracted by Clostridium botulinum bacteria.

Wrinkles of face appear because of contracting muscles. Injecting this toxins to those muscles stops the contractions. Therefore it stops the wrinkles by relaxing muscles. This is the basic theory of this treatment. This treatment is used for wrinkles on forehead, between eye brows, both sides of eyes, nose, between nose and lips and neck. The dose of inject is depend on the place, depth of wrinkles and nature of wrinkles. Result comes in very short term with injecting (from 1-4 days). But when new nerve tips grow wrinkles should appear within 3-4 months. Therefore injection may have to repeat. There are some other causes for wrinkles. Those are high exposing to sun light, environmental pollution and dead cells of hypodermis. This treatment is not gives results for such wrinkles. In addition, this injection will not give to mothers who still breast feeding their babies and people who have nervous diseases. People who use vitamin E, aspirin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and ginseng extracts are warned to stop those before two weeks of injecting BTX-A. When injecting for old aged people it starts from very low dose.

There are many side affects such as red spots, swelling, headache, little pain, weakening of face muscles, fever, hypersensitivity reactions, inabilities of swallow can be happen. We can reduce this affects by slightly pressing the places injected.
