Understanding Facial Wrinkles and Muscle Movement

Facial wrinkles are a part of the natural aging process due to the gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Wrinkles develop from repeated muscle activity and facial expressions. Every time you smile, frown, or squint, your facial muscles engage, eventually leading to visible lines and creases. Environmental factors and genetics also contribute to the formation of different types of wrinkles.

Understanding the different types of wrinkles can help in determining the most effective treatment for maintaining a youthful complexion.

Here are three of the main types:

• Dynamic wrinkles: Caused by repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. These include forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
• Static wrinkles: Deeper lines that remain visible even when the face is at rest, often found around the mouth and nasolabial folds.
• Gravitational wrinkles: Result from the skin’s loss of collagen and elasticity, typically appearing around the jawline and neck.

What Are Neurotoxin Injectables?

Neurotoxin injectables, such as Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport and Xeomin, are FDA-approved treatments derived from botulinum toxin.

Injectable neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles, reducing their activity and smoothing out facial lines. This process helps prevent wrinkles from becoming more pronounced over time.

Common treatment areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows)
• Crow’s feet (outer corners of the eyes)
• Vertical lip lines
• Masseter muscles (jawline slimming and TMJ relief)
• Neck bands (to reduce the appearance of neck wrinkles)
• Gummy smile (softens excessive gum exposure when smiling)
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in underarms, palms, and feet)

The Neurotoxin Injection Procedure

Botulinum toxin injections are a quick, minimally invasive treatment performed without anesthesia. Most patients describe only a mild pinch at the injection site.

Here’s what you can expect at your appointment:

• Consultation: Our providers assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to customize your treatment plan. The areas that will be treated are marked, and digital photographs are taken so you can see the improvement after.
• Treatment: The injection process takes about 10-15 minutes with no downtime required.

Aftercare Instructions

Proper aftercare helps to minimize potential side effects. To get the most out of your treatment, follow these guidelines:

• No touching: Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the injected area to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas. 
• Stay upright: Keep your head elevated for several hours after treatment to prevent the Botox from migrating. 
• Limit physical activity: Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. 
• Avoid heat exposure: Don’t go to saunas, hot tubs, or sunbathe for at least 24 hours. 
• Makeup application: Wait until the injection sites are fully closed before applying makeup. 
• Follow-up: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your healthcare provider to address any concerns. 

When Will I See Results?

The effects will begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results developing over 7 to 14 days.

Neurotoxin injections provide temporary improvement, with results lasting 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors such as muscle activity and metabolism.
