Botox or Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxic protein derived from bacterium called Clostridium botulinum, and various other species of bacteria. It is used commercially in medicine, particularly to help with muscle spasms, notably eye muscle spasm and also bladder spasms, and is has been known to help cerebral palsy in kids. It has alleviated excessive sweating, has helped writer's cramp and vocal chord spasms as well as neck and shoulder spasms.
What’s of popular interest though, is its cosmetic use. Botox in San Diego is commonly used for relaxing the crease that forms between the brows. How it works is to stop the release of the neurotransmitter called acetylcholine and in doing so causes mini paralysis of targeted muscles. This has the effect of smoothing wrinkle creases in the skin and creating a more youthful look. Cosmetic use of Botox is believed to have come about when Canadian ophthalmologist Dr. Jean Carruthers noticed the patients she was treating started losing their frown lines. She and her husband, who was a dermatologist, published a paper in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology which caused a stir amongst doctors and dermatologists worldwide. It was so well received that in 1997 the demand for Botox was so high there was a temporary shortage.
