The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by
its product name Botox®, is a popular non-surgical injection
that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead
creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck.
The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing
the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother,
more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that
Botox is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive
sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.
