Dynamic wrinklesNot all wrinkles are alike. Some known as dynamic wrinkles, are caused by repeated muscular contractions such as frowning, squinting and brow furrowing. The wrinkle relaxing intramuscular injection derived from purified protein toxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria reduces dynamic wrinkles by preventing the muscles from contracting. The injection is a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent that works at motor nerve endings (nerves that lead to muscles). It is in a class of drugs called neurotoxins. |
How does it work?A tiny amount of the solution is injected, very precisely, into the muscle being treated. As the muscle weakens, the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear, giving the face a more refreshed and relaxed look. Because the needle is so fine, and only a small amount of liquid is used, the pain associated with the injections is minimal. No sedation or local anesthetic is required. The procedure is so quick and simple that patients often have it done on their lunch hour. |
