Botox is a poison that is naturally occurring from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. A lot of research has been done on this because it is a food toxin, that, when taken in huge amounts, cause severe gastrointestinal distress.
Research has discovered that when Botox is injected in tiny amounts, a temporary paralysis of the nerves and muscles within the face is caused. Due to this, the facial expressions that are performed habitually can no longer be made. Constantly forming the typical facial movements is responsible for the formation of lines on the face.
Constant frowning or eyebrow lifting may be reduced when Botox is injected by plastic surgeons on the forehead, or over the bridge of the nose. Those expressions are responsible for the lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows.
