Botulinum toxins have been traditionally used as neuromodulators to help relax and block wrinkles. Wrinkle Blocker was originally used by Dr. Alan Scott, an Ophthalmologist, to help patients with strabismus issues (e.g., crossed eyes). They then were used for involunatary and debilitating muscle spasms of the face and eyelids. During the use for blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm it was noted how the wrinkles improved. There are multiple serotypes used, but the A-serotypes are the most common. These include Allergan’s Wrinkle Blocker, Merz’s Xeomin, and Galderma’s Dysport. They all work similarly though Dysport can have a bit more spread and is dosed differently than Wrinkle Blocker and Xeomin. Springs Aesthetics has become the leading injector for Xeomin for all of Colorado. Dr. Burroughs has 20 years of experience injecting botulinum toxins, and has published book chapters and taught courses on its uses.
