How does Botulinum Toxin work?
Hyperactivity of the facial expression muscles often results in the development of deep frown lines and/or crows feet. Injecting botulinum toxin into the affected area temporarily paralyses the underlying muscles responsible for wrinkling, giving the face a more relaxed and pleasant appearance. The wrinkles become smoother or disappear altogether. Botulinum toxin therapy cannot replace wrinkle correction methods such as collagen implantation, laser peeling or autologous fat transplantation when these are necessary.
