Various skin changes occur as people age. The skin loses its elasticity as a result of collagen depletion and diminished tissue vascularization. When the skin loses its ability to respond to muscle contraction wrinkles (rhytids) are formed. The muscles further constricted and form creases and rhytids. Dynamic rhytids can be reduced or erased by relaxation of the dominant muscle that competes against the inferior muscle. This is responsible for people to form wrinkles at different ages.

The muscles of the face are very small and it is important to inject the exact location where the desired effect is needed. This will target the muscle group that causes the wrinkles. Aesthetics enhancement is not limited to Rhytids elimination. Other benefits include removal of wrinkles on the forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines and shaping the eyebrows.
