"Botox is a form of botulinum toxin" by Tasha Haskell Introduction: Botox is a form of botulinum toxin. Cosmetic physicians have been using botox for years to successfully treat wrinkles. Botox is the brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. This can be used for both men and women. We associate this toxin taken in large amounts with food poisoning. In spite of serious complications associated with botox, scientists have discovered a way to put it to the use for humans. Small diluted amounts can be directly injected into the area which causes controlled weakening of the muscles. In 1980's the FDA approved the usage of botox when it was discovered that it could stop ailments like blinking and lazy eye. Since then cosmetic physicians have been using botox to successfully treat wrinkles and reduce the frown lines, forehead creases, crowsfeet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck we have also come to know that botox reduces migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscles spasms in the neck and the eyes.
