What is botulinum toxin?

Botulinum toxin works through neuromodulation: it temporarily interrupts the nerve signals responsible for the contraction of the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. By relaxing these muscles in a controlled manner, the skin relaxes and dynamic wrinkles, those linked to facial expressions, fade. The treatment is performed precisely and in a targeted manner, affecting only certain muscles and preserving natural expressions. When performed by a qualified professional, it is a subtle technique that discreetly reduces the signs of skin aging.
