Botox, Xeomin, Dysport
Neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are popular treatments designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments work by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, resulting in muscle relaxation and a noticeable reduction in wrinkle visibility.
