Information About Neurotoxin
Neurotoxin is used to lessen the appearance of wrinkles in the skin, usually the face. This protein-based substance affects the movement of muscles causing wrinkles. It has been FDA-approved for dermatological treatments since 2002 and should be administered by a certified specialist for the best results.
