Choose your “Tox”
Multiple formulations of botulinum toxin exist, such as Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify. Botulinum toxin works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. These medications are injected with a fine needle directly into the muscles. There is no downtime or recovery time therefore you may resume normal activities. Aside from fine lines and wrinkles, botulinum toxin has other uses.
