Botox or Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin. It is made up of the same toxin that causes a type of food poisoning called botulism. The injections block specific chemical signals from the nerves that cause your muscles to contract or move.

Forms of purified botulinum toxin used by licensed health care providers meet medical control standards. These standards were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If used correctly, the bacteria toxins used for medical purposes are not harmful.
