The neurotoxin we use, botulinum toxin A, does not paralyse the muscle as we once thought. Instead it relaxes the target muscle and stops you from being able to contract that muscle. The most common brand of toxin is Botox, which you may have heard of already.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the appearance of lines when your face is at rest, however still allow you to make expressions as you normally would. If too much neurotoxin is applied it can lead to the “frozen” look that some clients find desirable, but we prefer a more natural finish.
There are three treatable areas: forehead, frown lines, crows feet.
