Softening & erasing fine lines and wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles form when facial muscles repeatedly contract and shorten to make expressions, thereby causing the overlying skin to shorten as well, causing a wrinkle over time. This process can be prevented and somewhat reversed so the line does not become permanent.
Anti-wrinkle treatments such as Xeomin® and Botox® block the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions. This effect lasts 3-5 months on average, resulting in softening or erasing fine lines and wrinkles.
