Botox® is the most popular and commonly used type A injection of botulinum toxin. These injections contain neurotoxins that affect the nerves and cause temporary paralysis. Once the toxin is injected into a muscle, it prevents muscle movements for a limited time by blocking the nerve signals. Without the nerve signals, the muscle is unable to contract, which diminishes the wrinkles and fine lines and gives a smoother texture and appearance to the skin.
Widely, botulinum toxins are used for cosmetic treatments, such as treating fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck areas. But, these injections have both cosmetic and medical uses.

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This protein acts on the nerve endings by blocking the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It temporarily disables or prevents muscle cell contraction. When injected directly into the facial or neck muscles, it forces them to relax and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
