The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, in this case under the trade mark of VISTABEL, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck.

The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

Improvement may continue for as long as a month, and could  begin to decrease since 12 weeks ahead. After that, the muscle action returns. When frown lines reappear, a repeat treatment is necessary to regain the results. You may resume normal activity immediately.
