Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum Toxin
Reduces the movement of facial muscles to help with wrinkles and muscle contours.
Adjusting muscle movement
Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces the signals from nerves to muscles, adjusting muscle movement. It is used for lines on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, as well as for prominent jaw muscles.
Its effect wears off over time, so we'll talk again after a certain period. The amount and placement differ for each area, so we decide together while you make facial expressions.
