Aesthetic use of botulinum toxin
Our facial expressions are a part of who we are. But as your patients age, their faces don’t always communicate in the way they would like. Aesthetic treatments with botulinum toxin can make a difference.
Why toxins?
Pronounced glabellar lines and lateral canthal lines can make faces look old, sad, tired or angry, regardless of how an individual feels.1,2 This disconnect can affect self-confidence, and quality of life.1,2
Aesthetic treatments with botulinum can enable you to make a difference. They relax the facial muscles involved in the formation of dynamic wrinkles3 in order to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines and lateral canthal lines formed by repeated facial expressions.
TREATMENT AREAS
Botulinum toxin may be used to relax the muscles involved in the formation of dynamic wrinkles. Common uses include temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines seen at maximum frown. Botulinum toxin is also used in lateral canthal lines (crow´s feet lines) visible at maximum smile.
