What It Is Used For:

Other than for its originally intended purpose, treatment of blepharospasm (eye spasm) and strabismus (misalignment of the eye) this product has cosmetic applications as well. This anti-wrinkle injection was approved in 2002 for cosmetic applications to improve the look of fine lines and superficial wrinkles caused from every day facial expressions like smiling, frowning or squinting by prohibiting these movements.

If you find that the early signs of ageing are becoming apparent or if your facial expressions are causing premature wrinkles to appear, then this procedure may be for you. It is also used in the prevention or smoothing of wrinkles as well, by prohibiting you from making the facial gestures that cause wrinkles.

If your wrinkles are static then it may lessen them a bit. However, if your wrinkles are superficial it can smooth them considerably, so that it appears that they have been "removed".
