In nature the toxin Botox can be found in large and unpurified quantities which causes a type of food poisoning called botulism. This is not the type of toxin used in cosmetic treatments. The cosmetic version is purified in the laboratory to be safer and requires amounts 600 times less than would be needed to cause serious illness for it to be effective against wrinkles. This makes it less toxic than paracetomol. Children as young as two years old use 200 times the cosmetic dose to relax muscles in cerebral palsy. Consequently, the treatment is one of the safest medical procedures performed. Furthermore there have been no allergic reactions reported in its cosmetic use and adverse reactions generally resolve completely in time. There are 3 TGA registered wrinkle relaxer products in Australia that have passed the stringent safety and effectivity criteria.

Wrinkle relaxers have not been studied in pregnant or breast-feeding women and hence are not recommended for these groups.
