In this article, you'll find out what Botox® is, how and why it's used and about its connection to botulism.

What is Botox?
Botox® is a trade name for botulinum toxin A. In this way, Botox® is related to botulism. Botulism is a form of food poisoning that occurs when someone eats something containing a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin A is one of the neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum.
The most serious symptom of botulism is paralysis, which in some cases has proven to be fatal. The botulinum toxins (there are seven -- types are A through G) attach themselves to nerve endings. Once this happens, acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle contractions, cannot be released. A series of proteins, VAMP, syntaxin and SNAP-25, are essential for the release of acetylcholine. Certain botulinum toxins attack these proteins. Botulinum toxin A (Botox) affects the SNAP-25.

Basically, the botulinum toxins block the signals that would normally tell your muscles to contract. Say, for example, it attacks the muscles in your chest -- this could have a profound impact on your breathing. When people die from botulism, this is often the cause -- the respiratory muscles are paralyzed so it’s impossible to breathe.

At this point, you may be wondering why anyone would want to have a botulinum toxin injected into his or her body. The answer is simple: If an area of the body can't move, it can't wrinkle.

Botox in the Body
Botox® (botulinum toxin type A) is successfully used to treat blepharospasm, strabismus, and cervical dystonia -- these are all conditions that in some way involve spasms, involuntary muscle contractions.


The skin around a person's eyes does not stay smooth like this forever. The repetetive use of surrounding corrugator and procerus muscles can cause severe glabellar (frown) lines.

Within a few hours to a couple of days after the botulinum toxin is injected into the affected muscle(s), the spasms or contractions are reduced or eliminated altogether. The effects of the treatment are not permanent, reportedly lasting anywhere from three to eight months. By injecting the toxin directly into a certain muscle or muscle group, the risk of it spreading to other areas of the body is greatly diminished.

Botox® Cosmetic has been successfully used to treat severe glabellar (frown) lines and is approved for use in adult patients up to 65 years of age. Also a form of botulinum toxin type A, when Botox® Cosmetic is injected into the muscles surrounding the brow area for instance, those muscles can not "scrunch up" for a period of time. They are paralyzed. So the wrinkles in that area, often referred to as furrows or frown lines, temporarily go away.

في هذه المقال سنتعرف على البوتوكس. كيف ولم يستعمل، وما علاعته بالـ"بوتوليزم"
ما هو البوتوكس؟؟؟
"بوتوكس" هي كلمة تجارية تستعمل بدلا من "botulinum toxin A" . وبهذه الطريقة الـ"بوتوكس" له علاقة بالـ"بوتوليزم". الـ"بوتوليزم" عبارة عن مادة سامة تنتج عندما يأكل أحد ما مادة تحتوي على "نيورو توكسين" تُنتج من "bacterium Clostridium botulinum". والـ"Botulinum toxin A" أحد أنواع الـ"نيوروتوكسين"

The most serious symptom of botulism is paralysis, which in some cases has proven to be fatal. The botulinum toxins (there are seven -- types are A through G) attach themselves to nerve endings. Once this happens, acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle contractions, cannot be released. A series of proteins, VAMP, syntaxin and SNAP-25, are essential for the release of acetylcholine. Certain botulinum toxins attack these proteins. Botulinum toxin A (Botox) affects the SNAP-25
و العوارض الرئيسية للـ"بوتوليزم " هي الشلل. وفي بعض الحالات أثبتت أنها حاسمة. و الـ"botulinum toxins " تثبت نفسها بنهاية أنسجة الأعصاب، وحين تثبت نفسها، يصبح الـ"acetylcholine" (نسيج عصبي مسؤول عن التشنجات العصبية) غير قادر على الحركة. وهناك سلسلة من البروتينات تستطيع تخليص الـ"acetylcholine" من ذلك، ولكن تأتي بعض أنواع من "botulinum toxins " وتهاجم البروتينات لمنعها من تخليص الـ"acetylcholine"

Basically, the botulinum toxins block the signals that would normally tell your muscles to contract. Say, for example, it attacks the muscles in your chest -- this could have a profound impact on your breathing. When people die from botulism, this is often the cause -- the respiratory muscles are paralyzed so it’s impossible to breathe.

يعني،ال"botulinum toxins" يوقف جميع الاشارات التي تقوم بتوجيه العضلات للقيام بوظائفها. مثلا اذا قامت هذه المواد بمواجهة عضلات الصدر فان الرئة ستتوقف عن العمل، وبالتالي لا يمكن للشخص أن يتنفس من جراء شلل عضو الرئة فبالتالي يموت

وهنا يمكن أن تتسائلوا، لماذا نستعمل هذه الحقن و نحقن أجسامنا به؟؟ والجواب سهل: اذا كان هناك منطقة من الجسم لا تتحرك فانها لن تتجعد...
