Botulinum Toxin

Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the signal the nerve sends to the muscle, preventing its excessive contraction. This allows expression lines and dynamic wrinkles to relax, such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. Its benefits include smoothing wrinkles, preventing the formation of new expression lines, improving facial harmony and achieving a natural, rejuvenated effect. It can also be used in medical treatments for hyperhidrosis, migraines and bruxism.
