Anti-wrinkle injections
Wrinkles and lines often appear in our forehead and around our eyes when we smile or frown. These lines appear because our muscles contract to form different facial expressions. Over time, these expression lines become deeper and remain visible even when the face is at rest.
Botulinum toxin A or Botox/Xeomin® is a purified protein that works to relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines, leaving you with a refreshed and smoother appearance.
