Botulinum

Botulinum is naturally occurring substance found on plants, in soil, and water. When injected in precise areas and amounts muscle contraction is reduced with the effect of lines being softened in the upper face. Brand names Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin work best on dynamic wrinkles or folds that are caused by muscle movement.

When you raise your eyebrows, frown, smile, or scrunch your facial muscles you cause dynamic movement that creates wrinkles. Even lip lines are partially caused by muscle movement. Injections will help minimize your ability to move muscles thereby softening and flattening these dynamic wrinkles. A series of tiny injections to the area where the movement/wrinkles occur. Treatments take a few minutes and are performed in the office. Results will become visible in three days to a week and last for 3‑6 months.
