How does Botox work?
Botox can erase wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming in the treated area. Botox is a toxin that paralyzes the muscles. When injected carefully and correctly, it weakens the muscles of the face that pull the skin when you make certain facial expressions. Exaggerated facial expressions cause folds in the skin, and over time, those little folds stay instead of springing back when you relax your face. By preventing those folds, Botox prevents wrinkles in the treated area for a period of months to years at a time (depending on many factors.)
When Botox is not performed properly, the muscles become "frozen" instead of just weakened, and the patient will not be able to make normal facial expressions.
Beware any cosmetic surgeons offering cheap prices for Botox--this indicates that they may be watering down the product or injecting something else that will not give good results.

Botox can, in some cases, be extremely beneficial. It can give people the younger, more vibrant skin they've been wanting, but it can also cause not only money issues, but health issues as well. What if someone was to have an allergic reaction and get sick from the injections? I guess it would be best to do all of your research before deciding if botox is right for you. But from what I've seen, botox has been very beneficial in helping people get the young skin they desire by keeping the wrinkles away.
