Botulinum Toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium A, can relax the muscles on areas of the face which cause wrinkles associated with facial expressions. Treatment with Botox, Dysport * or other similar injectables (hereinafter, "purified botulinum") can cause our facial expression lines or wrinkles to essentially disappear. Areas most frequently treated are: (a) glabellar area of frown lines located between the eyes; (b) crow's feet, the lateral area of the eyes; and (c) forehead wrinkles. Purified botulinum is diluted to a very controlled solution and when Injected into the muscles with a very thin needle, is almost painless. Clients may feel a slight burning sensation while the solution is being injected. The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes and the
results typically last from 3 to 6 months. With repeated treatments, results may last longer In some individuals.
