Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles caused by contraction of underlying facial muscles. To treat these wrinkles most effectively, it is necessary to treat the source of the
wrinkle, the muscle itself. Now, thanks to a new use for an approved drug, dynamic wrinkles can be dramatically softened.
BOTOX® is injected into the muscle to prevent the muscle from contracting. Treatments are performed during a routine office
visit and the effects usually last 4-6 months. The most common areas for the BOTOX® treatment included the frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead creases, and
crow's feet wrinkles near the eyes. BOTOX® has an excellent safety record and side effects are minimal.
