The botulinum toxin acts by destroying a protein involved in neurotransmitter release. Thus, by injecting botox into your face, your personal plastic surgeon paralyzes your facial muscles and smoothes those annoying wrinkles. Italian researchers found that, at least in mice, botox doesn’t exactly stay under your skin, but migrates far far away. On its migration paths, botox destroys as many neurotransmitter systems as it can, and it finally reaches your brain and your brain stem. So, botox does not only smooth your wrinkles but also your EEG 
I personally think many politicians and actors using botox act like if under drug treatments: now we know why!

Hi bre101 I just gave a short look to your blog…what to say for now? Really cute picture of you

For those of us who are in the know and actually understand this procedure: C botulinum wa isolated in 1944used on humans since 1980s was aproved by the american drug association late 80s
ref the comment below on the frankly very poor and illreported italian stalion experiment.
ther are seven types of the toxin. Doctors will use only one a specific one. Italy dudes used all seven -at once! so the effect was far less specific and targeted different and a large combination of physiological procesess. Its rather like using all the paints together and concluding that paints dont work except inthe colour black because that is the colour you get. If you paint with each individual paint you will see that the results are quite different and you can avoid a black colour quite easily.
Second the proportional amout that was injected was like injecting a full glass sized amount into you face not the fractions of a ml that are actually used.
thirdly the botox does not work on nerves but on muscles it blocks the transmitter between a nerve ending and muscle not the nerve, the brain is not a muscle but if you inject anything into the brain it will be present because you put it there.
Fourthly the distance between the face of a mouse and its brain is 2mm. In humans as you will appreciate the distance is much much more.
Botox is not permanent, sprouting of nerve endings bypass and restablish muscle function in evrey single case.
Botox has a risk but like orange juice – if you take too much it will dammage you permanently
I dont use botox anymore as my field of interest has changed to more more satisfying treatments but i have jsut come accross this and thought id take a quick 5 min to inform the opinionated ignorants.
By the way it is also used for anal fissures (if youever getthiswhen your old you willbe thankfull), spasticity, eye problems, dystonia (an incredibly painfull adn physically debilitating condition) even migraine and facial pain problems.

I am glad you’re not my doctor. Your arrogance is terribly misplaced.
“very poor and ill reported italian stalion experiment”: you speak like a racist and ignorant person, not like a doctor.
Thanks for showing your face here, “qualified doctor”. I personally prefer to believe somebody working in research than somebody writing like you.
And thanks for telling us that the distance between the nose and the brain in mice is smaller than in humans: did you have any suspect about it
?
The message of this post was: botox could be dangerous. Do we really need to use it just to make old ladies looking younger? And, well, my anus is quite distant from my brain, anyway

I have my very first botox consultation tomorrow. I’m a bit nervous and not sure what to expect ?
Why are you nervous? The qualified doctor above stated that I quote a “very poor and ill reported italian stalion experiment.”
So, trust the qualified doctor. Doctors are ALWAYS on the side of their patients (especially wen patients are sick)

Well, well, it seems that for Sharla Helton, Sondra Bryant and who know if any other, Botox was quite lethal … where is the “a qualified doctor” who wrote against us? Still injecting botox?
