The toxin blocks the transition of chemical messages sent from the nerve to cause the muscle to contract. Without these messages, the muscle stays in a resting state until the ‘messengers’ recover.

This recovery takes approximately 8-12 weeks on average. The aim of this treatment is to significantly reduce the movement of the muscles causing expression lines (dynamic lines). It may not cause the expression lines to disappear completely, this will depend upon the quality of your skin and may take time over a course of treatments,

It may not ‘completely freeze’ the expression, particularly if extreme effort if exerted to make an expression.

Botulinum toxin is not suitable for lines present without expression (static lines), your practitioner will advise you.

There may be only a partial reduction in movement this very much depends on the amount administered and the location of the product placement – This is not a one size fits all treatment and may be tailored to your individual requirements and expected outcomes – discuss this with your clinician at the time of consultation.
