Our BOTOX in La Jolla procedure works by decreasing the strength of muscle contraction. Essentially, when BOTOX is injected into a muscle, the muscle weakens. So how is BOTOX used to enhance your appearance and to slow the aging process?
To understand this, we first need to understand how a wrinkle is formed. Anatomically, our facial muscles exist under the facial skin. When the muscle contracts during facial expression, the skin moves and a crease is formed.
Normally this is not a problem, but as we age, the skin thins and its elasticity diminishes. So with each expression, a line starts to form that gets deeper and deeper with time. This is the evolution of a wrinkle. The upper face is the best example of this process, as most of the wrinkles in this region occur as a direct result of muscle contraction.

This preventative process has been well established in an identical twin study. One twin received BOTOX starting in her mid-thirties while the other did not. 13 years later, there was obvious difference in the presence of wrinkles between the twins, confirming the preventative value of BOTOX.
