How to Inject BOTOX® Cosmetic: a Beginner’s Guide to Botox Certification Training What is BOTOX® Cosmetic? BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein complex derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum that smoothes the muscles by blocking nerve impulses. BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction thereby preventing the contraction of muscles. In detail, BOTOX® binds to the nerve terminal, internalizes by receptor-mediated endocytosis, cleaves a cytoplasmic protein called SNAP-25, and blocks the fusion of the vesicles containing acetylcholine with the nerve membrane. After a time, nerve end plates expand and collateral terminal sprouts appear. Once the parent nerve terminal regains function, the collateral terminals retract. BOTOX® Cosmetic was FDA-approved in 2002
