What are Wrinkles?
Wrinkles are lines and folds that form on your skin as you age. They are most commonly found on the face, neck, and hands. Wrinkles are a natural part of aging but can also be caused by sun exposure, smoking, and repetitive facial expressions.
How Can Botulinum Toxin Help?
Botulinum toxin is a treatment that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. When these muscles are relaxed, the skin looks smoother and the wrinkles become less noticeable.
What to Expect During the Treatment?
-
Consultation: You'll meet with a specialist to discuss your concerns about wrinkles and see if botulinum toxin is right for you.
-
Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned.
-
Injection: Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscles that cause wrinkles. The process is quick, usually taking about 10-15 minutes.
-
Post-Treatment: You can return to your normal activities immediately, but you should avoid heavy exercise and not rub the treated area for a day or two.
