I saw an ad for Botox last week.  The girl in it was young and blonde and had her arms up in the air.  The copy for the ad was something like “I never thought that I would get Botox!” I was grossed out.  I’d heard of people getting Botox young to preserve themselves for later, but this was ridiculous.  As I walked close, I saw that she had gotten Botox for underarm sweating.  Turns out that Botox is used for a lot more than tweaking up those unsightly “feeling” lines on older women’s faces. Here are some other disorders or cosmetic issues that Botox, or botulism toxin, is used to treat.
