Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected into a muscle, it leads to temporary paralysis of that muscle, preventing muscle contractions. This can offer aesthetic and medical benefits by smoothing the skin or alleviating specific medical symptoms. As the effect is temporary, regular treatments are necessary to maintain the desired results.
Botulinum toxin is injected into the skin of areas such as armpits, hands, and feet to significantly reduce sweat production. This provides an effective treatment for patients suffering from severe hyperhidrosis that does not respond to conventional antiperspirants.
For patients with chronic migraines, botulinum toxin can help reduce the number and severity of headache attacks. It is injected into specific muscles around the head and neck, reducing muscle tension that often contributes to migraine attacks.
For patients who involuntarily grind their teeth, botulinum toxin can be injected into the masticatory muscles to relax them, thus reducing teeth grinding and associated discomfort.
In aesthetic medicine, Botox is most commonly used to smooth expression lines such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet. By reducing muscle activity in these areas, the skin appears smoother and more youthful.
Botulinum toxin can also be injected into other facial areas to selectively relax certain muscles and achieve a younger appearance.
