It works on the muscles beneath the skin’s surface to essentially paralyse them. It is the movement of these muscles that causes the overlying skin to wrinkle. These wrinkles become more pronounced on ageing skin as the skin quality decreases. The most common areas treated for ageing are the frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines and the lines around the eyes commonly known as ‘crows feet’.
