How Does Botox Work?


Muscles receive signals from nerves to contract. Botox is injected to intercept these signals and prevents them from reaching the muscle, rendering the muscle temporarily "paralyzed," the muscle will not contract and remains at rest.


Our facial muscles are used to make expressions. Over time, excessive expressions can leave creases in the skin. And of course, with age, skin becomes thinner. Botox prevents contractions in these muscles which prevents the wrinkles seen in the skin.
