What is Botox?
Botox is made from botulinum toxin, a powerful neuromodulator, which is injected into the muscles of the face to stop them from contracting. By relaxing these underlying muscles, Botox can improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, which accumulate over time as a result of smiling and squinting.
Botox can be used as a preventative treatment in younger adults, and to help older adults regain a more youthful appearance by smoothing out wrinkles and folds. The word “Botox” has become a general name for any substance containing the active ingredient, but other injections have been developed with slightly different formulations, such as Dysport® and Xeomin®.

The History of Botox
This cosmetic use of Botox was discovered by accident in 1987 when an ophthalmologist, Dr. Jean Carruthers, was conducting a study using botulinum toxin to correct strabismus, or crossed eyes, only to find that it also helped reduce the appearance of her patients’ wrinkles.
Botox has been FDA approved for medical use since 1989, and it’s one of the safest and most studied medications in the United States. It was approved for cosmetic use in 2002 to treat moderate to severe wrinkles in adults.
Botox Injections for Medical Purposes
The use of Botox for medical purposes predates its use as a cosmetic treatment. It can also be used to treat excessive sweating by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands, stopping the production of sweat in that specific area.
Botox can also be used to treat chronic headaches or migraines, because it stops the neurotransmitters that carry pain signals from reaching the nerve endings around your head and neck.
