Botox works by blocking the release of a neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter is found throughout the body. By preventing the release of this neurotransmitter, the muscle can not be stimulated, preventing the muscle from contracting.
The effects of Botox are temporary. In patients with facial nerve paralysis, the portion of the face that does not move is often smoother and wrinkle free. Proper application of botox will lead to preservation of facial movement while softening lines.
