How Botox works:
"To make a muscle contract, a nerve sends a signal to that muscle. The point where the two meet is called the neuromuscular junction. When the signal gets to that meeting point, a chemical called acetylcholine is released to make the muscle contract.
Botox inhibits the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, which paralyzes the surrounding muscles. The result is smooth, wrinkle-free skin for three to five months as the muscle slowly regains the ability to contract again.
Sounds good, but is it safe?
The official name of Botox is Botulinum toxin type A. Though type A was approved for cosmetic usage in 2002, it's important to remember that Botulinum toxin is actually a neurotoxin, and one of the most poisonous biological substances known to man."
Plus, after the botox effect gone, the wrinkles are back because you still got the same old habits as before.

NO to Botox!

“Years ago, botox, fillers and peelings became a mania. They were less aggressive than surgeries, these processes gain multiple versions and become life-changing activities for many women and some men. Not me, which I was always afraid of getting weird face. But the aging signs catch everybody, even those people who take care for them since ever.
I found a way out in Belo Horizonte (Brasil), when I went shopping with a 60-year-old aunt. On the way to the Mall, I noticed her softer face, toned wrinkles, and toned skin. "You finally put botox?”, I asked. As a Trained Psychologist, my aunt always tries new alternative things and answered: "Never! I'm doing aesthetic speech therapy!".
Back in São Paulo, my aunt's retreated face did not leave my mind. I began to research and found that, although relatively new, this speech-language therapy it’s a very effective resource against aging signs. It's not about facial gymnastics - the technique it’s not based on repetitive exercises. Speech and Language and Aesthetic, teach you to do all that a person already does but in a right way, with movements performed in order to stretch the muscles, to avoid and soften as marks of expression. "Wrinkles it’s nothing more than an exaggerated contraction of muscles," says Magda Zorzella, inventor of MZ Method. Fifteen years ago, a dermatologist referred to her a patient who, even doing all kinds of fillings, still had wrinkles around her mouth on her “mustache”. "She spoke and chewed very badly and in five sessions, we got what no cosmetic procedure had solved," the author of the book A Speech Therapy Rejuvenates told me. Guidelines for your name, Guidelines for your practice in São Paulo and also for your definitions for the whole world."
