Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily blocking the overactive nerve signals within a muscle. When injected into a specific muscle it can cause the muscle to become relaxed and unable to contract which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused due to repeated muscle contractions.
