Can Botox Cause Cancer? We Debunk the Myths!

We’ve all heard the rumors—that Botox can cause cancer, or that it’s bad for your health. But where do these rumors come from? And more importantly, are they true? Let’s take a closer look at the science behind Botox to see if there’s any truth to these claims.

What is Botox?

First, let’s start with a little bit of background information. Botox is a purified protein which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox is approved by the FDA (food and drug administration). Botox works in a unique way.

When injected into muscles, it causes temporary paralysis by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that signals muscle contraction. That’s why Botox is often used to treat wrinkles—by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause facial expressions. Administered botox smooth out facial wrinkles and give the face a more youthful appearance.

Our expert injectors and board certified doctors at Voyage MedSpa and Wellness will help answer all the questions about Botox during your consultation.

Is Botox Harmful?

So, what does all of this have to do with cancer? Well, some people believe that because botulinum toxin is produced by the clostridium botulinum bacteria, it must be dangerous. However, it’s important to remember that we’re exposed to bacteria every day—in fact, our bodies are actually made up of more bacterial cells than human cells!

So while it’s true that Botox comes from bacteria, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s harmful. In fact, Botox is Safe in professional hands in the best medical spas.

Botox is Safe?

In fact, Botox injections have been used safely for over 20 years with no reported long-term health complications.

When used correctly and safely by a board certified doctor, botox is not life threatening. It would only cause muscle weakness in the area where it is injected.
