How Does Botox Work?
Botox works by relaxing the muscle responsible for causing contraction leading to wrinkle formation. Botox binds to the neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles.
Is Botox Safe?
Yes. It is FDA-approved. Botox is a neurotoxin that causes muscles to relax. Doctors have used Botox for many years to improve the cosmetic appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. Botox also has some medical uses to treat various symptoms and conditions.
