How does Botulinum Toxin work?

How does Botulinum Toxin work

Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to specific muscles. This reduces muscle contractions, which in turn softens and relaxes wrinkles. By relaxing the muscles, it smooths the skin and makes fine lines less noticeable.

  1. The neurotoxin is injected into specific muscles
  2. The toxin blocks nerve signals that tell muscles to contract
  3. The muscles relax, which smooths the skin and reduces wrinkles
