Botulinum toxin works at the neuromuscular junction: a precisely measured dose blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that tells a muscle to contract. When injected into a specific facial muscle — the frontalis for forehead lines, the corrugators and procerus for glabellar frown lines, the orbicularis oculi for crow's feet — that muscle relaxes, and the skin over it stops creasing with every expression. The underlying skin structure…

This assessment guides injection depth, the number of injection points and the dose per muscle. Using ultra-fine needles the injections themselves take only a few minutes; discomfort is typically described as a series of brief pinpricks. The clinic advises patients to…

The full effect becomes visible at ten to fourteen days, at which point a brief follow-up check is offered. Duration varies by individual and area, typically three to five months, after which the treatment can be repeated. With successive sessions many patients find that the lines are…
