Botox is an FDA-approved neurotoxin that temporarily softens muscle movement to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
A few drops of Botox are injected with a tiny needle into the muscle that is causing the wrinkle. Over the next five to seven days, the Botox/Dysport effect begins. The Botox/Dysport blocks motor impulses of the muscle, which weakens the muscle and causes the wrinkles in the overlying skin to gradually soften and often disappear.
