This purified protein is used to treat dynamic wrinkles that are caused by repeated contraction of the underlying muscles on the face. It acts below the surface of the skin to block the transmission of nerve muscles and as the muscle relaxes, the wrinkles disappear.

It usually takes ten minutes for this procedure to be administered by a doctor using the proper technique – just a few tiny injections – relaxes moderate and even severe frown lines. The overall aesthetic effect is subtle yet refreshes, rejuvenates and enhances your natural beauty. Improvement is seen within three to seven days and on average, lasts up to four months. Individual results may vary.

Safety

As expected with any injection procedures, discomfort, burning, stinging, swelling and/or bruising may be associated with the injection. In rare instances, you may experience headaches, drooping eyelids (this should be temporary and should go away when the effects of the injection wear off), discomfort or bruising, skin redness, and local muscle weakness.

Aftercare Tips

Avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks for at least 24 hours.

Avoid having a facial massage for at least 24 hours.

Keep a soft, flexible, cool compress like an ice pack within easy reach to alleviate any swelling or bruising.

Keep a good quality concealer ready – One that is rub-proof, sweat-proof, and made of gentle ingredients which do not irritate the skin. Your doctor will inform you when makeup can be applied after your treatment.
