What is Botulinum toxin®?

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein commercially produced for cosmetic and research use. Over the past 20 years it has grown in popularity across all genders and adult age groups. The techniques have also improved, with more refined tools enabling treatment of more areas of the body.

There are several of different types of muscle relaxing injections. The primary use for this type of injectable is to starve off lines and wrinkles from forming around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.

How does Botulinum toxin® work?

This, in turn, decreases the degree of tension on your facial features, resulting in a smooth face, free of lines and creases.
