Botox / Dysport is injected directly into the muscles responsible for the lines. The doctor will determine where to inject by asking you to move the muscles in different expressions.
Within days there can be a noticeable improvement in the moderate to severe expression lines, and the effect usual lasts for 4 - 6 months. This will not radically change your facial appearance and you can still frown or look surprised, only without the wrinkles and creases.

Crow’s Lines
These lines extend from the sides of the eyes and are due to the contraction of a circular muscle around the eyes called Orbicularis Oculi, as well as skin aging associated with sun exposure. Options for treating these lines include surgery, laser resurfacing, and injections of Botox / Dysport. The toxin is usually injected in 4 to 5 sites on each side.
