Dr. John Burroughs practices cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid and facial plastic surgery. He has been injecting cosmetic Wrinkle Blocker for 17 years. The FDA first approved cosmetic Wrinkle Blocker for the frown lines, and it remains one of the most popular places to receive the injections. There is minimal discomfort with the injections, and the improvement starts within a few days getting to its best effect in 2-3 weeks. Wrinkle Blocker for the frown and crows feet lines lasts approximately 3-4 months, and about 4-6 months in the forehead areas.
This patient was bothered by the frown lines as it causes a “stern” or upset look. Once she had the areas injected she had a more relaxed look that still appears natural. Person’s who have a “pensive” or “concentrated” look at most times do well to have their frown lines treated. Wrinkle Blocker is very safe, and has been used for medical reasons since the 1980’s. Rare problems in the face or eyelids can include: droop, dry eyes, asymmetry, and double vision. Occasionally, Dr. Burroughs has to revise Wrinkle Blocker injected by other practitioners do to suboptimal results. There is no down-time with Wrinkle Blocker injections and bruising is very uncommon especially if blood thinning medications/supplements are avoided for a week or so before injections.
