Botulinum toxin, one of the most important substances to hit the field of facial rejuvenation. Short of a surgical facelift, this substance is the most popular way to reduce facial wrinkles. Botulinum toxin can be used as a wrinkle treatment to smooth:

• Frown lines
• Crows feet
• Forehead furrows
• Skin bands on the neck

Injections of this substance blocks muscular nerve signals, which then weakens the muscle so that it can’t contract and diminishes your unwanted facial wrinkles.

HOW IS IT DONE?

A very thin needle is used to inject small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific muscles. Botulinum toxin treatment injections usually take less than 15 minutes. The number of injections you need will depend on multiple factors, including your facial features and the extent of your wrinkles. No anesthesia is required.

My Recovery 
There is no down time or recovery time. You may resume normal activities immediately. One note of caution: Don’t rub or massage the treated areas after the wrinkle treatment because it can cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to another area of your face. If this happens, you could have temporary facial weakness or drooping. You may notice results within a few days, but it can take up to a week to see the full effect. This improvement typically lasts about 4-6 months.
