How does Botox work?

There are many uses of Botox in medicine but we are mostly familiar with the use as a non-surgical cosmetic solution for wrinkles and frown lines.


Botox works by blocking nerve transmission to temporarily reduce the contractions of the facial muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines to appear and our eye brows to raise.

So if you think about your frown lines that have deepened over time it is due to years of creasing in the same place right? So stop that ability to crease, make the area relax and you have instantly smoother skin. That’s what Botox does.
