How Botox Works
Botox functions as a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes targeted muscles by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. It accomplishes this by binding to the nerve endings in the muscles, preventing the nerve signals from reaching the muscle fibers. This disruption of the communication between nerves and muscles results in muscle relaxation and, consequently, a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Botox primarily impacts dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting. When injected into the specific muscle areas responsible for these actions, it temporarily immobilizes the muscles. Over time, the muscle atrophy that occurs due to disuse can lead to smoother, less wrinkled skin. The results usually last 3 to 6 months, after which the treatment must be repeated for ongoing results.
