Botox® has both medical and cosmetic uses.

Medical Uses of Botox®

• Cervical dystonia (CD)—head tilting, neck pain, and neck muscle spasms
• Blepharospasm, or eyelid spasms
• Strabismus, also called crossed eyes
• Severe underarm sweating when antiperspirants don’t work

How Botox® Works
The signals that cause pain and muscle spasms are sent to the muscles through the nerves. BOTOX® neurotoxin blocks the signals that cause muscle spasms directly in the affected muscles, resulting in relief. Similarly, BOTOX® is thought to block the signals that cause pain.
A study done in patients with CD showed that BOTOX® treatment can help reduce the intensity and frequency of pain. Pain relief may happen first, before muscles become significantly relaxed.

Cosmetic Uses of BOTOX®
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a simple, nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people from 18 to 65 years of age. It is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One 10-minute treatment—a few tiny injections—and within days there's a noticeable improvement in moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. Results may vary.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
