Botox is a muscle-weakening or paralyzing medication. It can help treat various medical issues and minimize skin wrinkles even in smaller dosages. Botox is a protein derived from Botulinum toxin. This is a toxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It’s the same toxin that results in botulism.

Botox is generally a toxin, yet it can be beneficial when the physicians properly use it and in small amounts. It can be useful for both cosmetic as well as medicinal purposes. In addition, Botox injections can help minimize the appearance of wrinkles on the skin as a cosmetic treatment.

The FDA has also approved Botox as a treatment for a variety of health problems. They can include excess sweating, eyelid spasms, certain bladder problems, and even migraines.
