Botox

Botox is the trade name for "botulinum toxin" which is used in tiny amounts and it can temporarily paralyze a muscle and reduce or eliminate wrinkles or frown lines without harm. Though it is highly toxic, it is used in minute doses both to treat painful muscle spasms, and as a cosmetic treatment in some parts of the world. It is sold commercially under the brand names Botox and Dysport for this purpose. The terms Botox and Dysport are trade names and are not used generically to describe the neurotoxins produced by Clostridia species.

Besides its cosmetic application, Botox is used in the treatment of

* migraine headaches
* cervical dystonia (a neuromuscular disorder involving the head and neck)
* blepharospasm (involuntary contraction of the eye muscles)
* severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
