The Muscle is the Target
Botox belongs to a family of drugs referred to as botulinum toxins. It has been around since the early sixties when it was used as treatment for crossed-eyes. Every muscle movement needs a signal from your brain. A chemical known as acetylcholin carries the signal to the muscle. If too much acetylcholin is produced then the affected muscles starts to twitch. Botox prevents the release of acetylcholin to the affected muscle. The rest of the body is not affected by the Botox as it is injected only into the affected muscle.
Precautionary Measures
Pregnant women or breast feeding women are discouraged for from using Botox treatment. If you have infections or allergic reactions on your face you are advised against taking Botox injections. Tests are carried out to ensure patients do not have allergic reactions to the Botox ingredients.
Some medications and antibiotics react with Botox and increase side effects. You should inform the doctor about all the medications you are taking prior to the Botox procedure.
