Expression Lines
Botox / Dysport
is injected directly into the muscles responsible for the lines.
The doctor will determine where to inject by asking you to move
the muscles in different expressions.
Within days there can be a noticeable improvement in the
moderate to severe expression lines, and the effect usual lasts
for 4 - 6 months. This will not radically change your facial
appearance and you can still frown or look surprised, only
without the wrinkles and creases.
Glabellar Frown Lines
These lines are the result of contraction of the muscle called
Procerus between the eyes. Normally about 5 injections are
needed.

Crow’s Lines
These lines extend from the sides of the eyes and are due to the
contraction of a circular muscle around the eyes called
Orbicularis Oculi, as well as skin aging associated with sun
exposure. Options for treating these lines include surgery,
laser resurfacing, and injections of Botox / Dysport. The toxin is
usually injected in 4 to 5 sites on each side.
