Botulinum toxin
A treatment that helps soften wrinkles and reduce overdeveloped muscles
How botulinum toxin works
01 Muscle and skin are connected by a fibrous fascia layer, so when the muscle contracts, the skin folds into wrinkles
02 Botulinum toxin is injected into the muscle layer
03 As the muscle relaxes, wrinkles soften
- Layers of skin and muscle: skin, fat and SMAS layers, muscle
