Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox) is a a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily eliminates frown lines, thick bands in the neck and forehead creases. The way this injection works is by blocking the nerve impulses and paralyzing temporarily muscles which cause wrinkles while giving skin a more refreshed appearance. Botox injection has also shown effective in relieving muscle spasms in the eyes and neck as well as relieving migraine headaches and sweating. The product is a protein complex producing bacterium Clostridium botulinum which contains the toxins used for food poisoning. Botox Injections is one of the most fastest growing cosmetic procedures in the industry according to American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. It was first approved in 1989 to treat two eye muscle disorders and strabismus. By 2002 the Food and Drug Administration was satisfied by studies that Botox reduced frown lines up to 120 days therefore approval was granted to use this drug for this type of condition.
