How Does BOTOX Work?
BOTOX is a neuromodulator, which is a synthetic compound that paralyzes muscles. Neuromodulators accomplish this by preventing muscle nerves from sending the electrical impulses that stimulate muscle contraction. Because of this lapse in communication, muscles can't move. What happens instead is they settle into a state of temporary paralysis. BOTOX was designed to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are those caused by repetitive motions like smiling, frowning, or laughing.
Some common examples of dynamic wrinkles include:
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Crow’s feet
- Frown lines
- "Elevens," or the wrinkles between the brows
