How Does the Botox Therapy Proceed?
When botolinum toxins are intramuscularly injected, the neurotransmitters at neuromuscular junctions of the recipient muscle or groups thereof are temporarily deactivated and their flaccid movements become paralysed. Its effects are observed between day 3 to day 7. This temporary effect lasts up to 3 to 4 months, during which period, the contractions may recur. Therefore, injections need to be rehearsed. 
Botox is injected in the desired area in small quantities using small needles. By means of these injections, the drug kicks in by stopping the neural transmission between organs linked by the neurotransmitters and the axons of the muscular neurons themselves. Botox thereby relaxes the muscle(s) by blocking neural impulses for a certain period of time and enables the skin to automatically tighten and thus, smoothes the wrinkles.
