What is Botox and How Does it Work?

Botox, a renowned cosmetic treatment offered at Prestige MedSpa in Columbia, MD, is a purified form of botulinum toxin A, which is injected into muscles to temporarily paralyze them, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. But wait, how does it actually work? Well, it works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting and forming wrinkles. So, when administered correctly by our skilled team led by Dr. Young Joo Lee, Botox can effectively smooth out those pesky lines, giving you a more youthful appearance.
