It is a neurotoxin produced by a bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum. This bacteria produces three kinds of toxins and Botox is classified under type A together with Dy sport and Xeomin. Other forms of botulinum toxin is MyoBloc classified under type B. They are mainly used for medical procedures in the cosmetic industries though it started off as a therapeutic agent.

The most popular is BTX-A which was first used in 1989 by a plastic surgeon from California doctor Richard Clark to get rid of wrinkles and frown lines on the face. The results were tremendous and this led to approval of BTX-A in 2002 in America. Women are always looking for ways of maintaining their youth and avoiding as much as possible the harsh reality of aging. It is very common in Anchorage city probably due to the warm weather that affects the skin harshly.

Doctors in Anchorage city have popularized the use of the injection although other beauty creams containing the ingredient are readily available in the market. Their clientele is from all over the world as they keep coming back due to the good results.It perfectly reduces the wrinkles on the face and the results are mainly recommendable. It has almost no effect on wrinkles caused by the sun, harsh weather and gravity.

The injection only takes a few minutes. The results can be noticed mostly in a weeks time. The effect of the drug is to completely relax the affected muscle thus contracting the frown lines.The effect dies off in a range of between four to six months depending on the quantity of the drug and the patient.

With each dosage administered the muscles relax and appear less severe this is because the muscle is unable to contract. It is important to consult your doctor three weeks prior to the procedure in order to be aware of what u will have to stop taking like alcohol and other drugs that may reduce its effectiveness. Normally the procedure is not advisable for expectant mothers, those who are lactating and any patients with any nerve disorders like cerebral palsy.
