The Science of Neurotoxin Treatments: Understanding the Timeline

Neurotoxin treatments, such as Botox, have revolutionized the field of aesthetics, offering a safe and effective solution for wrinkle reduction. But have you ever wondered why these treatments require regular maintenance every three months? Aesthetic Dose is here to explain the science behind neurotoxin treatments and explore the timeline from injection to optimal results.


How Neurotoxins Work

Neurotoxins temporarily relax facial muscles by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. This relaxation reduces wrinkle formation, giving the skin a smoother appearance.


The Timeline

Here's a breakdown of the neurotoxin treatment timeline:

Why Treatments Are Needed Every 3 Months

Neurotoxins have a limited duration of action due to:

  • Enzymatic degradation: The body breaks down the neurotoxin protein over time.
  • Muscle adaptation: The muscle adapts to the temporary relaxation, regaining strength.
  • Nerve regeneration: New nerve endings grow, re-establishing muscle contractions.


To maintain optimal results, regular treatments are necessary to:

  • Replenish the neurotoxin: Maintain muscle relaxation and wrinkle reduction.
  • Prevent muscle re-education: Stop the muscle from re-learning contractions.
  • Address new wrinkle formation: Treat emerging wrinkles before they deepen.
