In most cases, the first signs of aging occur on a person’s face in areas where the skin naturally folds or creases. These are what are known as expression or dynamic wrinkles, and they begin to develop at a young age.
During expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting, fine lines start to show because of the facial muscle contractions, and these faint lines become more pronounced with age. As the skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity, and is affected by gravity, it can no longer snap back into place as easily. Skin cells divide more slowly and fat in the deeper layers of skin diminishes. Some examples of expression wrinkles include forehead lines, vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet, which are tiny lines that form at the corners of the eyes.
The best candidates for injectable treatments with botulinum toxin type A include patients over the age of eighteen who are physically healthy, want to soften mild to severe wrinkles caused by habitual facial expressions, and maintain a positive outlook and realistic goals for these treatments.
Those who have allergies to ingredients contained in botulinum toxin wrinkle injectables, have active skin infections on the treatment area, have certain nerve or muscle conditions, or have other severe illnesses or infections should not get botulinum toxin injectables.
Treatments with botulinum toxin injections are simple and will only take a few minutes. The nurse injects only the specific wrinkle-causing facial muscles. Most patients only experience minor discomfort because the needle is so tiny, and a numbing cream is also applied. Only the muscles that contribute to expression lines are weakened and a small amount of the medicine is used on strategic areas so that the natural facial expressions of the patient are preserved.
