Botox and similar injectables work by temporarily blocking nerve receptors in the muscles, which effectively halts muscle movement. This process prevents the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Although neurotoxins can temporarily eliminate wrinkles, the effects typically only last a few months. Once the neurotoxin wears off, the nerves will communicate with the muscles, resulting in the reappearance of wrinkles. Injectable neurotoxins, such as Botox and Xeomin, function similarly by impeding the discharge of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Occasionally, wrinkles may reemerge fainter but still noticeable, while others may return in full force. However, a follow-up treatment is all that's required to tackle those wrinkles. This is a result of communication between nerves, triggered by a specific chemical. However, the protein makeup of different neurotoxins sets them apart from one another. It's important to note that the effects are not immediate. It may take up to three to five days before you see results. Keep in mind that everyone's skin is unique and some may notice the effects sooner than others.
