​Face Wrinkles And Botulinum Toxin

Wrinkles are the first signs of aging. They appear around forehead, eyes, cheeks and lips. When people have wrinkles they think that they are getting old, but this is a normal feature. Botulinum toxin is used by some people, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Xeomin, Botox and Dysport are some of the brand names of botulinum toxin. They relax some muscles and make the wrinkles less noticeable.

The wrinkles are of two types: very fine lines and wrinkles are the first type and dynamic wrinkles are the second type.

Very fine lines and wrinkles:

The collagen which is present on the skin starts to become thin. Collagen is a type of protein which lies inside deep skin layers and it becomes thin because of aging and damage caused by the sun. In turn the skin becomes saggy and stretchy. As a result fine wrinkles are created on the skin. Botulinum toxin is not effective on this type of wrinkles.

Dynamic wrinkles:

This kind of wrinkles appears when we laugh, smile or squint. They appear around the forehead, between the eyebrows and around lips. They also appear around the eyelids. Dynamic wrinkles are present on the skin when we are born as a child. As we age the wrinkles become deeper and easily noticeable. Botulinum toxin is effective on this kind of wrinkles and makes it appear less.
