The needle used for removing wrinkles generally refers to botulinum toxin. Although injecting botulinum toxin can help reduce wrinkles, it may also cause some side effects. For example, it might lead to bruising on the patient's skin. Meanwhile, if proper disinfection is not performed during the injection, infection at the injection site may occur. Additionally, if the toxin is injected unevenly into different layers of tissue, localized unevenness or irregularities in the skin surface may appear.
