What does Botulinum Toxin Do?
When you laugh, frown, concentrate or squint for example, the facial muscles of the upper face cause your skin to crease. With time these creases deepen and can turn into lines which remain even when relaxed. Frown lines between your eyes can become particularly noticeable at a relatively young age, making you look angry or worried even when you’re not. Injection of Botulinum Toxin into these affected areas temporarily immobilises the underlying muscles responsible for wrinkling, giving the face a more relaxed, youthful and pleasant appearance. The wrinkles become smoother and with time can disappear altogether.
