Neurotoxins :

Neurotoxins, such as Botox or Dysport, are derived from a purified form of the botulinum toxin. When injected into specific facial muscles, they temporarily relax or inhibit the muscle activity. This can smooth out wrinkles, fine lines, and prevent the formation of new lines caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting. Neurotoxins are commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles, like forehead lines and crow’s feet around the eyes.
