Botox®

My goals is to produce a relaxed and refreshed appearance while maintaining a natural facial expression.

Botox® or Neurotoxins is the most popular, non-surgical cosmetic treatment Europe for temporary reduction and elimination of frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. By temporarily blocking the nerve impulses, the muscles that cause wrinkles relax, giving the skin a smoother and more refreshed appearance.

Neurotoxins helps to soften wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions such as squinting or grimacing. These repetitive movements cause the underlying muscle to become disproportionately stronger. Neurotoxins relaxes these muscles and allows them to regain a normal size , this causes unwanted wrinkles to soften or disappear.
