Botox Facts


Botox is a neurotoxin protein that is sold commercially under the brand names Botox, Dysport, and Myobloc. It is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and is considered one of the most toxic proteins. Though it is toxic, when used clinically in minute doses it helps to treat painful muscle spasms and neurological disorders characterized by abnormal contractions of the muscle. It is used in various cosmetic treatments across the world.

Botox History


The presence of Botox in the field of cosmetic surgery is not new. In 1970, the doctors had already discovered the bacterial chemical component that causes botulism, which could be used for controlling muscular disorders. During such treatments, the doctors understood that Botox could be used for treating wrinkles around the eyes. U.S. Food and Drug Administration accepted it in the early 1990s for being used in cosmetic treatments.
