How Do Botox and Dysport Work?

Both Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins that interfere with the communication between the brain and the muscles. Although this sounds dangerous, with proper usage these toxins can be used to gently treat unwanted wrinkles on the skin's surface.

When a proper dosage is delivered under the formation of a wrinkle, the toxin relaxes the underlying muscles that cause these wrinkles.  As the muscle relaxes, the skin "unfolds" or straightens.
