Botulinum Toxin Type A blocks transmission of messages from nerves to muscles. Its clinical value was first discovered in the 1970’s and is now used widely to treat a variety of neuromuscular conditions, when injected into a muscle, the neuromuscular transmission is blocked thus weakening or inactivating the muscle. Botulinum Toxin Type A first received FDA approval in 2002 for its use in aesthetic medicine and is now one of the most frequently used treatments.

As we naturally age the repeated use of our facial muscles can result in the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and forehead. This can lead to clients often complaining of a tired or unhappy look. Botulinum Toxin Type A helps deliver natural looking results when injected into the muscles around the eyes or forehead and temporarily reduces movement enabling the skin to stop the formation of new creases and to gently soften or fade away existing fine lines and wrinkles.
