Also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A, Botox is formed from the bacteria which cause botulism. The Botulinum toxin causes a reduction in muscle activity temporarily by blocking the nerve activity in the muscles. It is also used in treating severe underarm sweating. Certain eye conditions which have been caused due to nerve disorders are also treated using Botox. Botox is also used in cosmetic procedures to temporarily reduce facial wrinkles.
Botulinum toxin is a protein extracted from bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is extracted and highly purified under stringent conditions before being used. When injected in the muscle tissue, it blocks the release of neurotransmitter acetyl choline at the nerve terminals. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter, which when released from the nerve endings, act on muscle endplate causing it to contract. When Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine, the nerve to muscle transmission gets blocked. Due to this effect the muscle gets relaxed and is unable to contract. This effect is clinically perceived as ironing out of wrinkles. It finds uses both in the field of medicine and cosmetology, some of which are listed below.

Wrinkles form as part of the natural ageing process. With ageing the epidermis becomes thinner and dryer. The dermis below which supports the epidermis becomes loose and sags. The collagen and elastin fibre network that forms a support system starts to break down. There is atrophy of the fat layer resulting in drooping of skin and formation of wrinkles.
They are of two kinds-Static and Dynamic. Static wrinkles also called as fine lines are seen on the resting face without facial expressions. These occur due to the breakdown of collagen fibres present underneath the skin. The network of collagen helps to keep the skin stretched out. Due to breakage of this network the skin becomes loose and fine lines appear. Ageing, genetic factors, UV exposure. Smoking are some of the factors that accelerate the appearance of fine lines. Botox does not have much effect on the static wrinkles of the face.
Dynamic wrinkles form as a result of overactivity of muscle fibres. The musculature of the face is responsible for the expressions that we emote. The wrinkles that appear on the face while facial expressions is are called dynamic wrinkles. Examples include, lines appearing at corners of the eyes while smiling, frown lines appearing on forehead etc.
Botox is used to predominantly treat dynamic lines of the face.
