Botox Applications 

The appearance of a wrinkly skin can be eliminated. Wrinkles occur over time because of our repetitive mimic movements. They especially appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes. Muscle movements that cause wrinkles can be reduced.

Treatment

To eliminate wrinkles, the application of botulinum toxin is performed. It allows us to temporarily reduce muscle movements. This toxin is the product of a bacterium called clostridium botulinum and is produced under laboratory conditions. Its effect is to temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles. The muscle which cannot work as strongly as before, cannot compress the skin and the appearance of wrinkles is eliminated.
