Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin – Oh My!
Where there are options, there is also a low-key struggle on deciding which product is right for you. Thankfully, you can leave it up to us to give you the result of your dreams.
Over time as the muscles are contracting they get stronger just like when you work out. As the muscle gains continue, the wrinkles get deeper and become stagnant; which means that you will see the wrinkles whether you express emotion or not. Additionally, this gets harder to treat with just Neurotoxins and will have to combine other treatment modalities.
Remember, you don’t have to wait to be a certain age to start. Most people are now beginning their healthy skin journey at 21 and are way ahead of the preventative game!
