• Neurotoxins, like BOTOX®, are non-surgical treatments that reduce wrinkles by relaxing targeted facial muscles. By blocking nerve impulses, they minimize muscle activity that causes lines, offering natural-looking results without drastically altering your appearance. Effects are visible within days, improve over a month, and can last up to 4–6 months. If treatments are discontinued, lines gradually return.
