BOTULINUM TYPE A (BOTOX®) INJECTIONS Facial wrinkling, particularly on the forehead and around the eyes, can be addressed by the use of Botulinum Type A (Botox®) injections. Wrinkling caused by the pulling action of muscles attached to the undersurface of the skin are the wrinkles that can treated with Botulinum Type A (Botox®). These wrinkles become more pronounced with sighing, squinting the eyes and other dynamic facial expressions. Botulinum Type A (Botox®) acts to temporarily paralyze the actions of these muscles so that the wrinkles do not show with facial expressions. Botulinum Type A (Botox®) injections are be performed in the office and typically last four to six months, although results vary from patient to patient. |
