Whenever we laugh, get angry or express surprise or doubt, the facial muscles get contracted and form the so-called expression lines. With ageing, these lines become more marked and visible, forming wrinkles on the forehead, folds between the eyebrows and periorbitary wrinkles (usually called “crow´s feet”). The botulinum toxin relaxes this muscular system, has a localized and natural action and prevents the formation of expression lines.
Although the therapeutic effect of Botox® may vary in each patient´s case, the average effectiveness is between 4 and 6 months. The first outcome may be observed within about 48 to 72 hours.
