Is botox bad for you?
Botox is a neuromodulator. That means it works at the nerve and muscle junction. It is designed to stop certain very specific muscles from contracting by using a very tiny dose. The muscles that are targeted pull the skin together and they cause wrinkles. By relaxing those muscles, the skin smoothens. It takes several days to take effect and lasts about three to four months. In these tiny doses, the only side effect is if the Botox is placed near an unintended muscle, it could paralyze that muscle instead of the correct one and the effect would wear off and return to normal when the Botox wears off. Typically, this can be a droopy eyebrow or droopy eyelid. Botox can be unsafe if you have a rare disease that affects how your muscles work, such as myasthenia gravis. READ MORE
