This protein has been used widely in since the 1980s. By blocking the the nerves and the muscle, muscle is reduced.

This means that fine lines and wrinkles are and the aging process is temporarily halted.

How does this treatment work?

Botulinum Toxin is injected into the facial and blocks the flow of chemical messages from the nerve to the muscle, the muscle to contract. Without these chemical messages, the muscle stays in a resting state ( for between 8 and 12 weeks) until the flow of these messages is when new nerve endings are produced by the body.

toxin helps to significantly reduce the movement of the that cause expression lines (or 'dynamic' facial wrinkles). It may not cause existing expression lines to disappear completely as this depends on the quality and of your skin, and it is not a suitable treatment option for lines and wrinkles that are present without facial - in both of these cases, your will advise you of the most appropriate course of action to tackle these particular skincare concerns.
