Will it make me lose expression?

Yes. But the only expression you'll lose is the unintentional frown caused by the overactive muscles between your brows. So you can frown, smile, or look surprised-without the creases and wrinkles between your brows. If all forhead lines and crows feet lines are blocked there will be a more noticeable loss of expression. This is not desirable.

What can I expect from the treatment?

Dr Freeman will determine exactly where to administer several tiny injections to achieve the best results. No anesthesia is required, although  a cold pack is often used prior to injecting. The entire treatment takes approximately 10 minutes. Discomfort is minimal and brief -most patients compare the sensation to an insect bite. Most people return to work or normal activity immediately.

Within days, you'll see a marked improvement, which may continue to improve for as long as a week and should last up to 4 months. In clinical trials with these injections, 89% of patients rated improvement in frown lines as moderate or better. Individual results may vary.

The most common side effects, if they occur, are headache, respiratory infection, flu syndrome, temporary eyelid droop, and nausea. These injections  should not be used if there is an infection at the injection site.
