WHAT IS BOTULINUM TOXIN?
Pure botulinum toxin was isolated in 1944, at the US Biological Weapons Research Center at Fort Detrick. This is one of the strongest poisons known to humanity, which means that it can be found in the register of substances belonging to biological weapons. In aesthetic medicine, very small doses are used, which only have a therapeutic effect. Botulinum toxin began to be used in neurology because of its relaxant properties in the late 1970s. Currently, the indications for the use of botox in neurology are such problems as focal contractures (spasticity) associated with deformity of the clubfoot, caused by spasticity (contractures) in children with cerebral palsy, aged two years and older. In addition, it is used in focal wrist and hand contractures in adult patients after stroke. Focal contracture of the ankle in adult patients after a stroke is another health problem. In addition, eyelid spasm (blepharospasm) is treated with botox, half face spasm and associated focal dystonia, idiopathic torticollis (cervical dystonia).
