What is Botox?

Botox is a medication created by purifying the bacteria responsible for botulism in food products. Since the bacteria has been purified, it does not pose a risk to the patients when properly administered. The medication is administered through injection – most commonly on the face and frontal scalp region. It can, however, be administered in other sites throughout the body. The second most common place for injection is under the arms, where Botox is used to treat excessive sweating in both men and women. The reason these injections work so well is double-sided. First, it can temporarily paralyze or weaken certain muscles. Second, it has the potential to block certain nerves. For these reasons, Botox is used in the treatment of numerous conditions. It’s most common use, however, is to increase the youthfulness of a person’s facial appearance by decrease the appearance of wrinkles.
