Neurotoxins
(Jeuveau, XEOMIN AND BOTOX)
One way to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is by using treatments that temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause them. This approach is often used in cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections. The treatment can help smooth out the skin and create a more youthful appearance with minimal downtime. The injection causes a disruption in the signals to the muscle which results in muscle relaxation and reduction in wrinkles. With long-term use, it can help keep deeper wrinkles from forming.
