How Does BOTOX ® Cosmetic Work?
Normally, your brain sends electrical messages to your muscles so that they can contract and move. The electrical message is transmitted to the muscle by a substance called acetylcholine. BOTOX ® Cosmetic works to block the release of acetylcholine and, as a result, the muscle does not receive the message to contract. This means that the muscle spasms or movements that cause wrinkling, stop or are greatly reduced after using BOTOX ® Cosmetic. Patients sometimes refer to the effects of the injection to their area of treatment as being paralyzed.
BOTOX ® Cosmetic is one of the most popular mini-procedures undergone every day. BOTOX ® Cosmetic can keep wrinkles at bay and extend the amount of time before you will need a rejuvenative plastic surgery procedure for wrinkles. BOTOX ® Cosmetic can be used in conjunction with injectable fillers such as Restylae, Hylaform, Sculptra, and others to further assist in rejuvenating the appearance. BOTOX ® Cosmetic is a very safe and proven product, so be sure you know what you are getting. Only BOTOX ® Cosmetic is approved for use in humans to diminish wrinkles and further prevent them from forming.
