Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are a popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
Also know as Botox or botulinum toxin injections, they work by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the treated area, which can smooth out wrinkles and lines caused by muscle contractions, such as frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
