Wrinkles do not need to be treated unless the person wishes to eliminate them for cosmetic reasons. For fine wrinkles, retinoic acid may be applied to the skin to fill in the crevices. The toxin is injected into the muscle that caused the wrinkle. It paralyzes the muscle, so that the wrinkles gradually disappear when the muscle isn't used. The more likely the treatment is to help wrinkling, the more likely it is to have side effects.
Injectable substances can cause allergic reactions .
Sometimes the treatment for wrinkles results in skin that looks markedly smoother and younger. Other times, improvement of the wrinkles can be minimal and temporary. Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the healthcare provider. By visiting this site, you agree to the terms and conditions of our Visitor Agreement .
