Anti-Wrinkle Injections

The medication botulinum toxin, commonly known as botox, is used as anti-wrinkle injections by carefully targeting specific facial muscle groups with the goal of improving expressions and softening the appearance of lines and wrinkles. 

The treatment works by limiting the contraction of certain muscle groups which in turn limits the strength of wrinkles. This is very beneficial in preventing new lines from forming and reducing the harshness of existing ones. However, due to its beneficial effect on skin pores, patients usually also find their skin looking fresher and rejuvenated. The results are noticeable in one to two weeks and tend to last three to four months. 

Botox can also be used in reducing muscle bulk as commonly used for jawline slimming or target sweat glands and help with excessive sweating.
