Botulinum toxin What is what?

Botulinum toxin is the purified product of protein produced by Botulinum botulinum during its growth and reproduction. It is a toxin, but it is a good medicine for beauty under the reasonable use of plastic surgeons. Botulinum toxin has important application value in facial makeup, neurology, neurology, surgery, ophthalmology, rehabilitation, gastroenterology, urology and other clinical fields, among which cosmetic wrinkle removal is the most widely used. The specific application is as follows:

(1) Beauty can be used to beautify facial contour and improve dynamic beauty, such as facial wrinkle removal, benign masseter muscle hypertrophy, calf muscle hypertrophy and eyebrow shape improvement.

(2) The muscle tension in the treatment area is increased, such as idiopathic eyelid plague, facial spasm, spasmodic torticollis, facial asymmetry after facial paralysis, muscle spasm of upper and lower limbs, etc.

(3) Application in ophthalmology, such as correcting eyelid and ptosis, and treating strabismus and nystagmus.

(4) Some diseases in urology, such as prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) and bladder hyperreflexia.

(5) Some diseases of gastrointestinal tract, such as anal fissure and achalasia of cardia.

(6) Other aspects, such as treating hyperhidrosis of hands and feet, axillary hyperhidrosis, migraine and other diseases, have achieved good results.

What is the chemical name of botulinum toxin?

When Botox was discovered, it took 200 years to be used for cosmetic surgery.

19 In the 1920s, German doctor Justinus Kerner discovered a toxin that caused food poisoning by spoiled sausages. The paralytic disease caused by Kerner's "sausage poison" won the title of "botulism" (from Latin "botulus"). Kerner speculated that small doses of botulinum toxin may be used to treat neurological disorders and hyperhidrosis.

1895, Belgian bacteriologist Emile Pierre van Ermengem discovered that botulinum can produce botulinum toxin.

In the 1920s, botulinum toxin A was extracted. Dr Herman Sommer of the University of California, San Francisco, USA, was the first to extract botulinum toxin A in stable acid precipitation form from botulinum.

In the 1940s, during World War II, American scientists began to explore the potential use of botulinum toxin, trying to turn it into a weapon of war. The United States produced botulinum toxin capsules and provided them to China * * * to throw them into the food of senior Japanese generals. However, the plan of the US military did not succeed, because they found that botulinum toxin was useless as a weapon of war.

1949, in London, England, researcher Dr. Arnold Burgen and his colleagues found that botulinum toxin can block the connection between nerve and muscle.

In 1960s, alan scott, an ophthalmologist in San Francisco, injected monkeys with botulinum toxin to see if they could relax the muscles that caused strabismus.

1978: Dr. Scott obtained the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and conducted a wide range of dynamic tests on the use of botulinum toxin to treat human strabismus. He named the drug Oculinum and established Oculinum company to produce and sell the drug.

1989: Oculinum is approved by FDA for the treatment of strabismus and ptosis.

200 years later, 6.4 out of 10 people planted grass for others and gave them face-lifting needles.

From April 65438 to May 2002, botulinum toxin was approved by FDA as a medical cosmetic material, which was mainly used to remove wrinkles by injection and temporarily improve moderate and severe brow wrinkles. This major event undoubtedly makes botulinum toxin a "face savior" for beauty lovers. Today: Botox is still an ideal choice for many beauty seekers to face-lift and wrinkle-remove.

According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the output of face-lifting needles has increased by 67% since 2002. On average, 6.4 out of every 10 users said that the face-lifting needle was worth a try. The face-lifting needle we often talk about is actually "botulinum toxin". It was first discovered in spoiled sausages, and then applied to face wrinkle removal and beauty, becoming a "Hollywood star" in the medical and aesthetic circles and a "face savior" for beauty lovers. Botox has undergone a transformation for about 200 years.

What are the toxic components of botulinum toxin?

Botulinum toxin (AX) is a neurotoxin produced by Botulinum botulinum and containing polymer protein. It is the most toxic biotoxin among natural toxins and synthetic poisons. It mainly inhibits the release of acetylcholine from nerve endings, causing muscle relaxation and paralysis, especially respiratory muscle paralysis.

Hope to adopt. Thank you.

What is botulinum toxin that people often say?

Botulinum toxin, also known as botulinum endotoxin, is a bacterial endotoxin secreted by the deadly botulinum toxin, which is highly toxic. Botulinum toxin acts on cholinergic motor nerve endings, antagonizing the action of calcium ions in some way, interfering with the release of acetylcholine from motor nerve endings, making muscle fibers unable to contract, leading to muscle relaxation, thus achieving the purpose of wrinkle removal and beauty, and the greater the toxicity, the better the wrinkle removal and beauty effect. Note: The news comes from Baidu Encyclopedia.

Botulinum toxin wrinkle removal has the advantages of little damage, quick effect, convenient operation, low price and no influence on work. Compared with traditional methods such as chemical peeling, skin lifting, botulinum toxin collagen injection, fat filling or small incision wrinkle removal, only a certain dose of botulinum toxin is injected into the forehead or brow, and the whole process is only a few minutes without pain. However, botulinum toxin wrinkle removal also has limitations. For example, injections of botulinum toxin usually last about 4 to 8 months. If it is to be effective for a long time, it needs to be injected three or four times a year. Also, using botulinum toxin to remove wrinkles, general crow's feet, forehead lines, brow lines, nose lines and neck wrinkles can be removed, but it is most suitable for early and less obvious wrinkles. If the recipient has deep wrinkles and loose skin, the effect will be greatly reduced. So it won't be 100% effective. In addition, pregnant women, lactating women, myasthenia gravis patients, allergic people, ptosis patients and patients with heart, liver, lung, kidney and other visceral diseases can not use botulinum toxin to remove wrinkles. As for its toxic and side effects, because it is injected in strict accordance with the safe dose, it will basically not happen.

What's the difference between botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a kind of hyaluronic acid often seen in the ingredient list of skin care products, which is one third of human dermal tissue. Hyaluronic acid injection is to inject hyaluronic acid as a filler into the depressed or plump parts of the dermis, such as lips, cheeks, nose bridge, chin, impressions and so on. Can achieve immediate results. However, hyaluronic acid will soon be absorbed by the human body, so in order to have a lasting effect, intermittent injection is needed. Once the regular injection is stopped, the effect will gradually fade and eventually disappear completely. Moreover, hyaluronic acid has few side effects, and it is not protein, so the probability of causing allergic reactions is much lower, and it is easily decomposed by the human body. Therefore, it has no long-term side effects on human body. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic exotoxin produced by Gram-positive anaerobic botulinum during its reproduction. It can inhibit the release of acetylcholine from the presynaptic membrane of peripheral nerve endings and block the transmission of neurotransmitters, thus causing muscle relaxation and paralysis, reducing muscle tension and relieving muscle spasm, and achieving the expected effect.

What is the phenomenon that food produces botulinum toxin?

The phenomenon that food produces toxins is the reproduction of biological bacteria.

Botulinum toxin is actually a kind of botulinum toxin. When the external conditions meet the growth of such bacteria, they will breed and appear.

Botulinum botulinum is a kind of bacteria that grows in anoxic environment. It has strong viability in canned food and sealed pickled food, and it is one of the most toxic bacteria. Botulinum botulinum is a deadly pathogen that secretes botulinum toxin during reproduction. This toxin is the most toxic substance known at present, which can inhibit the release of acetylcholine from cholinergic nerve endings, leading to muscle relaxation and paralysis. The army often uses this toxin in chemical and biological weapons. After people ingest and absorb this toxin, the nervous system will be damaged, and symptoms such as drooping eyelids, diplopia, strabismus, dysphagia, dizziness, dyspnea, muscle weakness, etc. may occur, and severe cases may die of respiratory paralysis.

What brand of botulinum toxin is the best?
