BOTOX® injections are a simple and non-surgical procedure whereby very low doses of a natural purified protein are placed into specific muscles, which relaxes the muscles and prevents contraction.

The actual mechanism of action is by blocking or reducing the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is required in order for the muscle to contract. Without acetylcholine, the muscle will not contract. If the muscle doesn't contract, then it won't be able to pull the attached, overylying skin into creases which would result on your face as wrinkles.
