Application of a very small dose of Botulinum toxin into the muscle temporarily disrupts nerve to muscle impulse transmission and the desired muscle loosening effect then flattens wrinkles and undesired mimicry, this prevents further deepening of wrinkles. However, over time the effect fades and this leads to muscle re-innervation. The effect is thus reversible, not permanent.

Course of procedure

It is applied using a thin needle (so called insulin syringe and needle) under the skin into desired area.
