Neurotoxin Injections
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Botulinum toxin A, or ‘Botox’, reduces the signs of ageing by smoothing out dynamic wrinkles, or facial lines on movement. This helps your skin appear more youthful.
What are the benefits?
Strategically placed injections work to reduce movement of the targeted muscles, while still allowing movement and expression. Neurotoxins can also improve facial symmetry and proportions, and slim down bulky muscles such as the masseters.
How does it work?
Botulinum toxin A relaxes specific muscles under the skin, and has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1989 for the treatment of wrinkles. It has been used in medical treatments for over four decades.
