Botox/Xeomin And Neurotoxins
What is Botox/Xeomin?
Botox/Xeomin is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin. When injected, it acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting, relaxing underlying muscles and helping soften wrinkles.
How It Works
By relaxing the muscles that create repetitive expressions, the skin can look smoother and younger.
FDA History
The FDA gave clearance for botulinum toxin treatment of muscle spasms in 1989 and cosmetic use in 2002.
