Botox or neuromodulator plays a cast role by relaxing the underlying muscles, giving the skin time to repair itself
It is time to revisit our understanding of this amazing invention, which is no less than a medical marvel, neuromodulator, popularly known as Botox. Although it is a prescription drug used by different doctors in different fields of medicine, neurologists, ophthalmologists, urologists and ENT specialists. Miracle drug featured on the front page of TIME magazine has a huge list of medical problems that it can treat and solve very effectively, and there are just a few like chronic migraine, excessive sweating, post-stroke pain, neurological pain, myofascial pain, urinary bladder pain, hermetic neuralgia and of course you all know its use in the field of aesthetic medicine.
“Anytime a new invention comes along, especially when it’s so powerful and radical in delivering the attention it gets, it’s huge and a little disheartening to me to see huge amounts of misinformation, misunderstanding about this amazing product , a lot of bashing in print media and social media is terrifying people.” says Dr Geeta Grewal, Founder and CMD, 9 Muses Wellness, Gurgaon. With so many myths surrounding this wonderful product clouding its brilliance, I’ll attempt to do justice to to do and bring light to this neuromodulator, a protein produced by bacteria and used in active medical practice since 1970. This bacterial protein needs to be reconstituted before injecting. “We are indeed fortunate to have these amazing tools that are so work efficiently, effectively and safely to achieve the desired results.This molecule is similar to our neuromuscular junction proteins and therefore helps the e relax overactive and hyper-tensioned muscles,” adds Dr. Grewal.
The reconstituted drug is injected into the hyperactive muscles to relax them. Why does the muscle become hyperactive and build tone? “Facial muscles are different from body muscles because facial muscles insert into facial skin, as in body muscles insert into bones. When we break (fracture) our bone, our doctor applies a plaster cast to immobilize that bone and that is how we give the bone time to heal itself. Similarly, the hyperactive facial muscles fold the weak skin heavily at the same point, leading to a tear in the skin called wrinkle,” Dr. Grewal believes.
Botox or neuromodulator plays a cast role by relaxing the underlying muscles, giving the skin time to repair itself. Hyperactive high muscle tone is due to repetitive involvement of these muscle groups in our daily conversations and activities talking eating laughing crying depressive and other emotions all of which appeal to these muscles. “Life is challenging and we all go through different emotional experiences. As we see as we progress through our life experiences, we carry these experiences on our face and often we are not attuned to what the face reflects,” says Dr. Grewal.
For example, you are not angry or sad, but your face otherwise reflects the facial muscles used for these expressions are high in tone and remain contracted even though you are not using them. Let’s take a look at the biggest fear you have of losing your facial expression after treatment. “As I said before, achieving perfect balance and optimal results depends on the skill of your doctor. Since each of you is unique on the outside, you are also on the inside in terms of the anatomy of your facial muscles, making this treatment challenging as injection points, drug dose and depth of injections must be controlled as according to your unique facial anatomy,” says Dr. Grewal.
Giveaway results are due to wrong dose, wrong depth, wrong injection points, it’s an error of judgment, not the drug’s fault. “I would recommend a treatment once every 6 months to maintain a natural looking, pleasing result. You too will receive cumulative benefits. So don’t wear expressions that don’t represent your emotional state,” Dr. Grewal signs off.
