Many wrinkles are caused by the active mimic of the face muscles, therefore such wrinkles can be reduced by relaxing the underlying face muscles. Depending on the area, light injections are administered in the muscle or skin. Since the procedure is relatively painless, no anaesthesia is needed. Botulinum temporarily relaxes the muscles of expression, thus reducing the skin wrinkles. Nowadays, botulinum is injected so as to preserve the minimum facial expressions with the aim of achieving a natural, but also a youthful and relaxed appearance. Besides, botulinum smoothes the skin and narrows the pores. The effect becomes visible in about 3 days. The maximum effect arrives in 10 days and lasts 3-6 months.
