Botulinium Toxin (Botox)
Botox involves microinjections of a purified protein (Botulinium Toxin) to relax facial muscles that causes facial wrinkling. It is also commonly used to reduce the size of the jaw muscle, creating a slimmer facial contour.
We believe that Botox treatment should not result in stiff and unnatural looking facial expressions.
