Botulinum toxin therapy: how does it work?

Botulinum toxin injections target overactive muscles. Under the influence of the drug, the activity is reduced, and as a result, wrinkles are smoothed out naturally.

Its effect is topical, it only blocks the muscles which it is injected into. Natural facial expressions are fully preserved.
