How It Works:

Neurotoxins, such as Botox and Dysport, are commonly used to smooth wrinkles and fine lines. They are injected into muscles and work to relax the muscle, which ultimately minimizes the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles.  Common treatment areas include frown lines, forehead lines, and lines around the eye.  Your provider can discuss other possible areas of treatment. 

Frequently Asked Questions
