what is Botox? Botox is a botulinum type A toxin. It is the same toxin found in botulism, the bacterium we know to produce food poisoning. However, if injected into the body in small doses Botox prevents the signals in muscles from contracting. They remain tightened, giving the appearance of smooth skin. Smooth skin means no wrinkles. Therefore many women and some men feel they have found the fountain of youth.

• Botox is used for wrinkles known as crow's feet
• Creases in the forehead
• Lines around the eyebrows
• Neck creases.
