How Does BOTOX (BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A) Work?
BOTULINUM TOXIN TYPE A is a natural and pure protein drug that relaxes the muscles by temporarily stopping the nerve transmission that determines muscle movements. In this injection application, which is made in doses suitable for mimic muscles, the release of a substance called acetylcholine, which causes muscle contraction, can be prevented and the contraction task of this substance can be temporarily stopped. As the muscle relaxes, the associated skin can take on a flatter appearance.
In this way, the facial expression can get a calmer and more comfortable look.
