Botox is Botulinum toxin. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that it is injected into. It is made into precise units. It takes 3 to 7 days to become effective. It works for about 4 months.
While the muscle is inactive it loses bulk (becomes atrophic). When it recovers it gets its bulk back and gets strong again. If you add Botox before it recovers the muscle never has a chance to bulk up again. It will continue to lose bulk and eventually will find it more difficult to recover. So, after repeated treatments it seems logical that Botox may be able to weaken the muscle for longer and be more effective.
