Myobloc Botox is a term that is commonly misconceived since these two anti-wrinkle treatments are separate derivatives of the bacterium Clostridium Bolutinum. Myobloc is the anti-wrinkle treatment from Solstice Neurosciences while Botox is from Allergan Pharmaceuticals.
People who refer to Myobloc as Myobloc Botox because of the way it is administered - via fine needle injection. Both Botox and Myobloc address the issues of aging facial skin, however, they differ in properties since they also differ in serotypes. Myobloc is derived from botulinum toxin-B while Botox is from botulinum toxin-A.
Myobloc Botox can also be a simplified term for Myobloc botulinum toxin-B, but again the properties of each serotype are uniquely different. In comparison, Myobloc is cheaper and it can be stored longer than Botox.
Myobloc Botox relief
Myobloc Botox relieves muscle contraction by blocking acetylcholine- the nerve transmitter that tells the brain to command the muscles to contract upon movement. Injecting Myobloc Botox around the desired areas can reduce muscle contraction, thus, the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
It usually lasts up to about 3 months and after that period of time, fine age lines and wrinkles will soon re-appear as the effects of the Myobloc Botox fades.
Side effects to watch out for
Myobloc Botox has several similar side effects with that of Botox. The following are the common side effects:
Nausea
Burning sensation
Headache
Minor and temporary discomfort- usually after the treatment
If you are looking into Myobloc Botox as a relief for wrinkles and age lines, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons. Discuss your medical history and overall health condition with the doctor to properly assess your situation prior to administering Myobloc Botox.
