In my case, acupuncturist Nina Hernandez inserted about 35 silicon-tipped needles in my face--at the crow's-feet lines, the laugh lines and especially the lateral foreheadlines.
They were found by a dermatologist who had noticed that some of his patients after getting Botox injections in their frown lines in the forehead furrows came in and said they were feeling better.
But after physicians noticed that patients treated with Botox had fewer facial lines, an increasing number of doctors since the mid-1990s have used it to reduce forehead creases and crow's feet wrinkles, which are caused by muscle contractions right under the skin.
