Cosmetic use of botulinum toxin for the treatment of eyebrow and forehead ptosis, and unwanted eyebrow expression
Abstract:
A method of temporarily elevating the eyebrow position and softening undesirable glabellar muscle activity to affect a more desirable appearance. In a broad aspect the invention comprises injecting small quantities of botulinum toxin (BTX) equivalent in activity to 0.001 to 1.0 Units of botulinum toxin A, dissolved in 10 to 50 microliters microdroplets of injectable saline carrier, and injected 0.5 to 1.0 millimeters below the skin surface to treat the septal and orbital orbicularis oculi muscles, on each side of a patient's face. In sufficient numbers, injected microdroplets of BTX are able to selectively weaken these muscles. This method preferably also includes using microdroplets of BTX to treat: a) the depressor supercilii muscle, on each side; b) the procerus muscle; c) the corrugator supercilii muscle, on each side; and d) the inferior limit of the frontalis muscle where it meets the superior aspect of the orbital portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
