Can Botox Be Used On All Types Of Wrinkles?

These wrinkles are at first dynamic; that is, they are only formed with muscle movement, that is, with expression.

Can The Face Be Expressionless?

If the procedure is performed correctly, your face will not be expressionless. The current trend is to make it look very natural.

Young patients (25 to 30 years old on average) with a genetic tendency to form expression wrinkles can take advantage of the technique in a preventive way: by relaxing a certain muscle, botulinum toxin prevents a dynamic wrinkle from turning into a static wrinkle (or fixed wrinkle). ). It is always worth emphasizing the importance of the physician’s common sense and the patient’s desire.
