How Botox Works

Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, reducing repetitive movement that causes wrinkles and creases. As the muscles relax, the skin appears smoother and more youthful. Botox may also help relieve concerns such as migraines, TMJ discomfort, muscle spasms, excessive sweating, and overactive bladder symptoms.
