Botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin that blocks the signals that normally tell muscles to contract. When these signals are blocked, the muscles will not contract and therefore the wrinkles associated with muscle movement will not be visible. Typically it will be applied in 2-3 areas on the crow's feet, while in the area between the eyebrows and the forehead it will be applied in 5 or more areas. Also the application of Botox® can be useful for some wrinkles on the neck as well as for excessive sweating of the hands and armpits.
