Follow what is botulinum toxin?

Botulinum toxin, also known as Botox called, is a substance that causes the movement of a muscle to temporarily stop. But how does this wonderful substance do that? Botulinum toxin does this by temporarily blocking the transmission of stimuli from the nerve and muscle. This is because the nerve arrives in a muscle. The synapse, the end of the nerve, transmits the nerve's stimulus into the muscle. Because botulinum toxin blocks this, the substance acetylcholine is no longer released, so that the muscle can no longer contract.

Botulinum toxin stops stimulation

Acetylcholine is the ester of acetic acid and choline. This substance is a neurotransmitter and ensures the transmission of impulses from nerve cells to skeletal muscle cells. Botulinum toxin wears off after three to four months. This means that the functioning of the muscle and nerve will return after 4 months. This is because the nerve starts looking for the muscle again, which takes 3 to 4 months. This is also known as sprouting. For more information about botulinum toxin, you can view our website.
