You’ve already heard about Botox, the powerful anti-aging tool used in the fight against wrinkles. But you’ve probably wondered, “How does Botox work?”

When Botox Cosmetic is injected into a targeted facial muscle, it blocks nerve impulses to that muscle. This allows muscles that were overcontracted to relax and prevents future overcontraction, allowing the overlying skin to lie flat. Flat, smooth skin is youthful, wrinkle-free skin.

Your skin will remain smooth and unwrinkled for several months after your injection treatment. The facial muscles that haven’t been treated will continue to contract normally, so you will still be able to form your normal facial expressions.
