Botulinum toxin therapy for wrinkle correction

What is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum toxin is produced by a bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum. It blocks the release of acetylcholine, the substance responsible for transmitting electrical impulses that elicit muscle contraction.

How does Botulinum Toxin work?

Hyperactivity of facial expression muscles often results in the development of deep frown lines, forehead lines and /or crows feet. Injecting botulinum toxin into the affected area temporarily paralyzes the underlying muscles responsible for wrinkling, giving the face a more relaxed and pleasant appearance. The wrinkles become smoother or disappear altogether.

When and how long does botulinum toxin work?

Results are often visible within 48 to 72 hours. The maximum effect is reached in about 1 to 2 weeks. The effects of botulinum toxin injections generally last for about four to six months, although the results can last longer with repeated treatments.

Below is an example of treatment using botulinum toxin to correct crow's feet:
