What is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is muscle relaxant that is injectable, more commonly referred to as BOTOX, one of its official trademarked brand names . Botulinum toxin works by blocking the muscle’s nerve signals. For a muscle to contract, it needs to first be given a signal from outer nerve endings. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter providing this signal as it binds the receptors and the muscle, triggering muscle contraction. The botulinum toxin impedes acetylcholine’s release and thus smoothing wrinkles and inhibiting muscle contraction.
