The main muscles that most clinicians will target are the upper face muscles. These are:

• Glabellar (between brows) causing frown lines
• Frontallis (forehead muscles) causing corrugated appearance on forehead
• Orbicularis oculi around the eye causing crows feet

As we age our skin loses it’s elasticity and has a wrinkled appearance especially so on tightening of these muscles every time we use them during our day to day facial expressions. Btx is used to relax these muscles allowing the skin to smooth over the muscle and so reducing the appearance of wrinkled skin. Btx is a non permanent method of reducing the signs of ageing. Typically lasting between 3-6 months maybe more or less.

Excessive sweating of the hands feet and underarms can be controlled by paralysing the muscles supplying the sweat glands.
