What is Botox?

By Sarah Freeland

By its basic nature, Botox is related to botulism, which is a form of food poisoning that occurs when someone ingests something containing a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

But Botox owes much of its contemporary fame to the fact that when injected into the skin in measured doses it helps in removing wrinkles.

In its avatar as a cosmetic Botox is a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It is a non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age.

A small amount of Botox injected into a muscle will block nerve signals that instruct your muscles to contract. In doing that Botox temporarily weakens or paralyzes the facial muscles and smoothes or eliminates wrinkles in the skin for a period of a few months.

During the process of treatment very minute doses of Botox cosmetic are administered via tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn wrinkle lines. In usual cases the Botox treatment lasts for about 10 minutes, and no recovery time is needed. Within a matter of two to three days, the patients may see an improvement that can last up to 4 months. Though results are known to vary from person to person depending on their medical history and lifestyle.
