How does Botox work?
Botox blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. When you receive Botox injections, the muscles in the treated area relax, leading to smoother skin and a youthful look.
Usually, nerves release a chemical messenger called acetylcholine. This messenger binds to receptors on the muscle cells, causing them to contract and form wrinkles. This anti-aging treatment interrupts this process by blocking the release of acetylcholine, stopping muscle contractions, and allowing the skin to relax.
Botox is particularly effective for treating dynamic wrinkles , which are caused by repetitive muscle movements such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. These are the wrinkles that appear when you make facial expressions. Botox targets these specific muscles, causing them to relax and smoothing out the skin.
The effects are temporary, lasting between 3 to 6 months, after which the muscles gradually regain movement, and wrinkles may reappear. However, regular Botox treatments can help train the muscles to stay relaxed for more extended periods, enhancing the longevity of your results.
