A Guide To Botulinum Toxin Wrinkle Treatment In Malaysia
Botulinum Toxin wrinkle removal and jaw reduction treatment involves the use of muscle-relaxing injections containing neurotoxins. These substances temporarily reduce muscle activity and, when administered to specific facial areas, can decrease the appearance of wrinkles.
This neurotoxin is commonly used on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. Additionally, Botulinum Toxin injections in the masseter muscle, which controls chewing, are used for jaw reduction, potentially leading to a slimmer and more contoured jawline.
