Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces activity in selected muscles. Expression lines and volume loss are different concerns, so botulinum toxin and dermal fillers are considered for different purposes.
What should you discuss before treatment?
Forehead lines, frown lines, the eye area, jaw muscles and excessive sweating do not share one treatment plan. Discuss the intended area, previous treatments, medicines and the change you are hoping for.
