How does it work?
Botulinum toxin is an extract from from bacteria Clostridium botulinum known to be associated with botulism. This toxin will actually inhibit the contraction of muscle cells. These injections have the effect of relaxing muscle cells in the general vicinity of the injection. They were originally approved for a type of muscle spasm around the eye (blepharospasm) and a neuromuscular disorder of the head and neck (cervical dystonia). Physicians rapidly understood that it could be a great weapon against wrinkles after the publication of paper in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 1989. These injections are now the most common cosmetic procedure.
The way the treatment works is to force facial muscles to completely relax, thereby preventing the development of wrinkles while making whatever wrinkles do exist stand out much less.
