Anti Wrinkle
Fine lines and wrinkles occur when the muscles in the face are constantly active resulting in static and dynamic lines.
Botulinum Toxin A is a naturally occurring toxin used to block the neurotransmitter which stimulates the muscle to contract, thereby relaxing the muscle.
Botulinum Toxin is a prescription only medication, which will only be prescribed following a consultation with our practitioner.
