Fight Wrinkles with Botox in San Diego
Who came up up with the idea of squirting botulism into someone's forehead to reduce wrinkles?
Is it really that much stranger than using bread mold to reduce infection? Of course it's not as easy as directly injecting canned yams gone bad.Board certified plastic surgeon Amir Karam of Carmel Valley Facial Plastic Surgery says, "Botox® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium Botulinum bacteria that decreases the activity of wrinkle-forming muscles." The folks who figured out that this protein could smooth wrinkles started out using it as a treatment for face and neck muscle spasms. Like so many other discoveries, the protein's usefulness in reducing wrinkles was noticed as a side effect.
The botulinum protein works by blocking the nerve terminals for the wrinkling muscles from receiving certain neurotransmitters. A few drops of Botox® in San Diego is enough to be effective for several months.
