How Does Botox Work?
Botox targets the specific underlying muscles in the treatment area. The muscle is the target because that is what is often responsible for aesthetic imperfections and physical irritations. When the muscles overwork for actions such as facial expressions, the skin above the muscle furrows and creates wrinkles. This is often the cause of wrinkles such as laugh lines and crow’s feet. To counter this, Botox is injected directly into the muscle and temporarily paralyzes it; this in turn relaxes the skin. The same approach is used for physical irritations, like excessive sweating. Injecting Botox in the armpit slows nerve signal productivity, stopping excessive sweating. Botox has become a useful treatment for many conditions such as headaches.
