Botox is what is known as a “neuromodulator,” which is a chemical that interferes with the transmission between your skin and facial muscles. Basically, it prevents the signal to contract from arriving at the targeted muscles, keeping the skin smooth. As a result, your muscles won’t cause wrinkles to form from repetitive motion.
Researchers discovered the cosmetic benefits of the active ingredient in Botox when they were treating people suffering from involuntary eyelid spasms. Patients who had injections into the forehead area not only saw a reduction in their medical issue, but also looked refreshed, better rested, and younger!
