WRINKLE REDUCTION

What is the Wrinkle Reduction?

Muscular contractions in your facial muscles create creases on your skin every time you smile, frown or raise your eyebrows. After many years, these creases and wrinkles can become more profound and more lingering. Eventually, they become visible even when your face is at rest.

How is wrinkle reduction done?
 
 

Neuromodulators block the signals from the nerves to the muscles, which causes the muscles to relax temporarily. These neuromodulators have been used in aesthetic medicine to reduce the appearance of undesired expression lines.

 
 
How does WRINKLE REDUCTION work?
 
 

The toxin is injected into the face and blocks the signals that usually cause the muscle to contract. This gives the usual muscles that cause wrinkles the chance to smoothen out, returning your skin to look smooth. This can also prevent the formation of more permanent wrinkles.
