Antiwrinkle Injections
Botulinum toxin
Known commercially as either Botox (Allergan, USA) or Dysport (Ipsen, UK), botulinum toxin is a product of the clostridium botulinum bacterium and effectively weakens muscles by disrupting the signal from the nerve cells just as they enter the muscle cells. Its effect wears off after a period of months.
While used for a number of spasm, or dystonia, related conditions, its benefit in cosmetic surgery is that it weakens facial muscle activity which causes frown lines and wrinkles. It is most beneficial in the upper part of the face – brow, frown lines, laugh lines.
