Properly used, it reduces wrinkles due to excessive muscle contraction, particularly in the area of frown lines (glabella), forehead and crow's feet (corner of the eyes).
In small doses it contributes, often coupled with hyaluronic acid, to the reduction of lines of bitterness and wrinkles on the neck.
