| botulinum toxin type A |
A neurotoxin which, when used in very low doses, relaxes or temporarily paralyzes the contractive muscles which cause frown lines. Treatment is non-surgical in the form of injections which smooth deep persistent lines between brows or in the forehead. Botox paralyzes facial muscles, while Puragen fills in the space beneath wrinkles. Each acts in a different way, but may be used to complement each other.

| botulinal t. |
an exotoxin produced by germinating spores and growing cells of Clostridium botulinum. The toxin binds to presynaptic terminals of the central nervous system and blocks the release of acetylcholine, leading to paralysis. There are seven immunologically distinct types (AG). Type A is one of the most powerful poisons known; it is also used therapeutically by injection to inhibit muscular spasm in the treatment of dystonic disorders such as blepharospasm and strabismus, to treat wrinkles of the upper face, and to reduce anal sphincter pressure to promote healing of chronic anal fissure. Type B is used therapeutically by injection in the treatment of cervical dystonia. See also botulism.
