How Does Botulinum Toxin Injections Work?

The mechanism of Botox substantiation is based on its ability to inhibit the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes muscles to contract. Simply said, Botox is a toxin made of bacteria that, when injected into the face's muscles, causes them to contract when someone frowns or grins. In other words, it essentially blocks the nerve's signal, causing the muscle to relax. Additionally, by reducing wrinkles and fine lines, it keeps the muscles in the skin layer from briefly contracting, blemishing the outer layer of the skin.
