Expression wrinkles often form at a young age due to the hyperactivity of facial muscles. This issue is successfully addressed with botulinum toxin type A injections (botulinum therapy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>How Does Botulinum Therapy Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Botulinum toxin blocks the motor impulse from nerves to muscles. However, the facial muscles are not completely blocked, allowing for facial mobility and emotions to remain intact.
