Your goal for the treatment:

They are medications known as neuromodulators, produced by different companies but both well-known and equally effective. They have been used for cosmetic purposes for more than 30 years with a very high safety profile. The dosage used for cosmetic purposes is very small and the injection of neuromodulators for cosmetic purposes is the number one medical aesthetic treatment performed worldwide. It is used cosmetically to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. 

Neuromodulators are also known as neurotoxins. They work by changing the way nerves and muscles communicate. Don’t let the word toxin scare you! As a medication, it is extremely safe, and cosmetically it is used in very small doses. It works by relaxing facial muscles that causes excessive animation of the face. Excessive animation of the face leads to wrinkles that eventually overtime becomes permanent markings on our face. These markings can age us in appearance, they can also make us appear angry, sad, tired or stressed out. Neuromodulators can smooth the muscles that cause excessive animation and relax other muscles for cosmetic benefits. Neuromodulators are also great for face slimming.
