Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

Fast Facts:

  • Botox is a trade name for botulinum toxin A. In this way, Botox is related to botulism.
  • The most serious symptom of botulism is paralysis, which in some cases has proven to be fatal.
  • Not all facial wrinkles benefit from Botox injections; Botox won't reverse wrinkling caused by sun damage.
  • Botox must only be used under a doctor's care. It can be very dangerous if it's administered incorrectly.
