Botulinum Toxin · What it helps
Frown lines, forehead and crow's feet
The line between the brows comes from the corrugator and procerus muscles pulling inward, the forehead lines from frontalis lifting, and the fine fan at the outer eye from orbicularis oculi squeezing. An injector places small amounts into chosen points in each of those muscles, and the skin above stops being folded. The label's own pattern for frown lines is five points totalling 20 Units, and for the outer eye 24 Units split across both sides. The result is movement that is softer, not absent, when the amount and the points are chosen well.
