The active ingredient in BOTOX is botulinum toxin type A. In small quantities, this neurotoxin can paralyze muscles under your patient's skin by blocking nerve impulses. When the muscle is relaxed, it can no longer contract to produce wrinkles on the surface of your patient's skin. This gives your patients tighter, smoother, younger-looking skin with the effects lasting for about four to six months.

Botulinum toxin is administered by diluting the powder in saline (sodium chloride) and injecting it directly into neuromuscular tissue. It takes 24-72 hours for botulinum toxin to take effect, which reflects the time needed for the toxin to disrupt the synaptosomal process. In very rare circumstances, it may take as long as 5 days for the full effect of botulinum toxin to be observed.
