Botox is aimed at muscle tone. Relaxes muscle by blocking the signal that makes it contract.

3 questions worth asking the clinician suggesting it

Nothing aimed at muscle tone has had a fair trial yet. What would a fair trial of Botox look like: how long, and what result would count?
What would tell us Botox is working, and when should we stop if it isn't?
What are the risks and the cost, and what's the plan if it doesn't help?
