Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Selected patient will have bilateral accordion (cheek) wrinkles and will be randomized to receive 20 units of intradermal onabotulinumtoxin A injection on one side of the face and placebo (equal volume of intradermal normal saline injection) on the contralateral face. Patient will be monitored at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks post injection for improvement of accordion wrinkles based on serial photographs assessed by the investigator who is blinded and also changes to the skin elasticity measured by a skin cutometer.
