I’ve come up with this original analogy one day when talking to a patient who was cellular phone sales person. \u00a0 WiFi is a trademark name and is considered at this point, any wireless local area network for computers.<\/p>\n
What’s the mechanism of action for Botox? \u00a0Botox prevents the tensing up of muscles. \u00a0The word “tensing” could be also be considered “contracting.”<\/p>\n Medical professionals consider BOTOX\u00a0to be one of the most effective ways to maintain youthful beauty.<\/p>\n Acetylcholine is the signal for muscle contraction.<\/p>\n Botox reduces\u00a0the release of acetylcholine from the nerve endings. \u00a0It is the acetylcholine, which is a neutrotransmitter messenger, which tells the muscles to contract. \u00a0Without the acetylcholine released, the muscles stay in a\u00a0more relaxed configuration because it doesn’t get that signal for contraction.<\/p>\n Acetylcholine carries the signal for muscle contraction. \u00a0Just like WiFi carries the signal for my internet connection. \u00a0Botox works on reducing the signal.<\/p>\n Anyway, that analogy is a fun one, and I’ve enjoyed using it in my explanations in my Botox Consultations at my Modesto Botox Center<\/a>: Surgical Artistry.<\/p>\n Yes and No. \u00a0Yes, muscle CONTRACTION causes wrinkles. \u00a0Thus if we cut the signal for muscle CONTRACTION, the wrinkle isn’t crinkled. \u00a0But the muscle by itself in a relaxed state does not cause wrinkles. \u00a0So the key word here is contraction.<\/p>\n That would be interesting and probably very useful – but it doesn’t work that way. \u00a0 I was just trying to use some real life examples to explain Botox to my patients. \u00a0Please see your Botox doctor, nurse, or aesthetician in person for a personalized discussion. \u00a0There is no patient-doctor relationship set up by reading this article. \u00a0Nothing here is medical advice. \u00a0This is just generalized information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How is BOTOX\u00a0and Wi-Fi related? Basically BOTOX shuts down the signal (this signal can be thought of as “WiFi” for your phone) between nerve and muscle. \u00a0There is no alteration of the muscle – just like when the WiFi signal is shut off, there is no alteration to your cell phone.

<\/a><\/p>\nIn more detail: \u00a0how is Acetylcholine involved with BOTOX?<\/h3>\n
Thus, the real analogy is that Acetylcholine is the Wi-Fi signal<\/h3>\n
So, muscles cause wrinkes?<\/h3>\n
Disclaimer: \u00a0I am by no means trying to say that Botox gives you a better WiFi signal.<\/h3>\n
