In 2012 I've launched an innovative medical grade eye lift strip called . It's the first and only product developed for Lily Leading Instant Eye Lift, botulinum toxin related ptosis (droopy eyelid) which became increasingly popular to use for create a temporary eye lift by makeup artists and customers with aging or hanging upper eyelids. Lily Leading Instant Eye Lift is sold in my online shop. Ever since, I started blogging more often about cosmetic related topics and of course injectables like botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. Here is the link to my new blog. I hope you'll visit me there to read my latest online articles.

Some fine lines caused by smiling - and therefore are referred to as “positive lines” - you may consider not to “erase” completely when seeking treatment for “gently present” crows feet (not “ostrich feet”) or fine smiling lines around the mouth (not deep wrinkles). These fine lines make your smile genuine. You use 12 muscles in case of a genuine smile.
Muscles involved in a "zygomatic" (i.e., genuine) smile: - Zygomaticus major and minor – bilateral - (4): These muscles pull up the corners of the mouth. - Orbicularis oculi (2): One of these muscles encircles each eye and causes crinkling. - Levator labii superioris - bilateral (2): Pulls up corner of lip and nose. - Levator anguli oris – bilateral (2): Also helps elevate angle of mouth. - Risorius – bilateral (2): Pulls corner of mouth to the side. Despite the fact that smiling uses more muscles, David Song believes it takes less effort than frowning. People tend to smile more frequently, so the relevant muscles are in better shape. A superficial, homecoming-queen smile requires little more than the two risorius muscles. So if your goal in expressing emotion is really to minimize effort or "wrinkling", go for insincere. Some less desirable or “negative lines” are associated with an analytical or even an angry face are caused by frowning. It takes 11 muscles to frown: Principal muscles involved in a frown: - Orbicularis oculi (2). - Platysma (2): Pulls down lips and wrinkles skin of lower face. Bilateral (though joined at midline). - Corrugator supercilii – bilateral - & procerus – unilateral - (3): Furrow brow. - Orbicularis oris – unilateral - (1): Encircles mouth; purses lips - Mentalis – unilateral (1): Depresses lower lip.
