Botox and Dysport work well for wrinkles on upper 1/2 of face
Both Botox and Dysport are the currently medical-grade botulinum toxins approved by the FDA. These work by blunting transmission of nerve signal to the muscles, thereby relaxing the facial muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles on forehead, between eyebrows, and crows feet. Millions of Americans undergo Botox and Dysport injections every year, which speaks for its efficacy and appeal to those who are concerned about these lines on the face.

Botox works, one of the most popular drugs ever!
Botox definitely "works". Botox blocks the neuromuscular junction so the muscle can no longer contract under voluntary control. The question is not whether Botox works, but whether it will do what you want it to. Sometimes, blocking muscle activity won't result in the effect that one desires.
This isn't a "cookbook" treatment. Sometimes (usually) paralyzing forehead muscles results in a very pleasing result. It can smooth out wrinkles and make one look younger...

Botox Works if Used Correctly
Botox is a very effective product for the primary use of treating wrinkles in the face. However, it is not a substitute for a facelift or laser. Moroever, some injectors overly use or promise results in parts other than the face.

Botox works!
I think "Botulim Toxin A" (Botox/Vistabel/Azzalure/Bocouture) really and effectively works. In 3 days time after injection botox will be working and lasts from 5-6 months.
It's very usefull in glabella frown lines, forehead frown lines and crow's feet wrinkles. It can be also useful elevating mouth corners and softening platismal bands (neck).
These injections must be done by somebody familiar with the anatomy of the muscles of the face and neck.

20 years of safety and effectiveness with Botox
Since Botox is prescription product, the FDA would not allow it to be promoted without proof of its effectiveness. Millions of patients have received Botox injections and it is one of the most successful medical products ever made. What it does is relax mucles when injected with precision directly into the muscle. It was first approved for patients with eye muscles out of balance, called strabismus. It also caused relaxation of the muscle that cause crow's feet, and so it was investigated...

Botox is an excellent product
Botox is an excellent solution for smoothing facial wrinkles around the eyes. In particular it works very well for the forehead, the area between the eyes and the crow's feet -- the wrinkles on the outer edge of each eye that show when smiling.
Lots of consumers get confused about how Botox is used and in which areas of the face, but for the areas noted, it is extremely effective at smoothing wrinkles caused by muscle contraction.

Botox works, with limitations
Hello,
Botulinum toxin works for some things but it is not good for all. While this may seem like common sense, it is not always heard the way it is meant. Botox will soften some facial lines but will not substitute for a facelift or a facial peel when more than a few wrinkles are the problem.

Yes botulinum Toxin A does work. However, the effects vary tremendously from one individaul to another. Some demonstrate little response "non-responders", Others require lower than average dosess.
