Also, Oproiu emphasized that the toxin is used for dynamic wrinkles, for straightening wrinkles and not for static wrinkles.
“The toxin is used for dynamic wrinkles, for everything that means mimicry of the face. In the past, there was a myth that if you stop doing toxins, your face will fall off.
No, your face won’t fall off, but it will return to its pre-toxin shape.
And if for a year you had a perfectly straight face and now wrinkles start to appear, everyone will say that you have aged”, added Oproiu.
The doctor also stated that wrinkles can also appear after prolonged exposure to the cold, as well as in those who do a lot of sports.
