There is nothing new about worry lines, frown lines, crow’s feet or other wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing or frowning and there is a very effective non-surgical way to treat them. Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX®) is the name of the product used for a variety of medical conditions.
It was discovered by accident almost 20 years ago. When doctors were using it to treat people with facial tics around the eyes they noticed it also made their wrinkles improve.
The treatment has now been approved for cosmetic use under the name Vistabel®. BOTOX®. Using a micro-needle, minute amounts of Botulinum Toxin are injected into specific facial muscles. It relaxes those muscles and stops them forming lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
The treatment is virtually painless. However, it isn't a permanent remedy; periodic re-treatments are needed to achieve long lasting results.
