BOTOX
Botulinum toxin is a manufactured injectable medication used therapeutically and esthetically to reduce the strength of targeted muscle tissues. Relaxing selected muscles allows skin to recover to its natural smoothness. The cumulative effect of long-term, regular use of botulinum toxin helps to achieve most optimal results.
