How does Botox work? Botox, an injectable serum, plumps the tissues and adds volume to areas where the fats and soft tissues have been depleted. It’s made from a neurotoxin, and is normally used for the lips, cheeks, jowls, forehead, and the temple area of the face. The neurotoxin paralyzes the muscle, preventing signals from traveling back and forth to the brain. The muscle remains completely relaxed until the treatment begins to wear off. ... A normal Botox treatment lasts anywhere from 3-6 months, depending on the overall health of the person. The effects of the serum include firmer, more youthful looking skin, and less wrinkles and fine lines. Dr. Visal Nga and his staff offer Botox and fillers to their patients who want to rejuvenate and tone their skin. The doctor serves patients in and around Long Beach, California.
