Recently, the botulinum toxin is talking about her through many articles, including one published in the renowned British Medical Journal. Indeed, a prominent British neurophysiologist, Dr Misra says that the substance known as Botox ® has seen its use increase by 1.500% in the United States over a period of 4 years in the field of dermatology, and more Specifically in the area of aesthetics . Sales have increased from 25 million euros in 1993 to 430 million in 2002. In France, Botox ® has not been authorized for placing on the market for treatment of wrinkles, its use is much more discreetly.

Admittedly, the botulinum toxin at a prodigious action on wrinkles! Injected under the skin where wrinkles, the effect is spectacular. The only concern that recalls the doctor is: there is no decline in the medium to long term. This substance is a neurotoxin whose effects potentially very long term remains an enigma.

The sad story

Concentrated, this toxin is a deadly poison that kills by paralyzing the muscles and therefore the airway. As such, she became a star of bio-terrorism. In contrast to low doses, it has interesting properties, for example in the treatment of strabismus, motility disorders of the eye, the thyroid myopathy, etc.. However, its scope was broadened in competing in surgical face lift .Thus we see blooming everywhere in the U.S. of "botox party". This phenomenon is beginning to go to France ... But this product is not safe! Side effects are not negligible and affect 24% of experimenters : headaches, bruises, swelling, pain, sagging of the eyelid. In addition, poorly diluted or injected in the wrong place, it causes significant damage as a droopy eyelid or strabismus. Fortunately, these accidents are usually not definitive because the effectiveness of Botox ® lasts only four or five months. Thus, for a lasting effect, it is necessary to repeat injections two to three times a year. Since it is difficult to stop when we saw the first time the wrinkles disappear as if by miracle, the circle is complete.

The game worth the candle? Look younger on the instant and over time suffer a degradation worse than the ravages of time is a risk that leaves to think!
