  • Neurotoxins: 
    These are FDA-approved prescription medicine (AKA neuromodular, AKA neurotoxin, AKA tox) used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines or 11’s) in adults. When expertly injected, it temporarily prevents your nerves from telling your muscles to flex or contract. This process smooths the appearance of “dynamic” frown lines — like the ones from years of frowning at your phone, drinking through a straw, etc. Neurotoxins can also assist in temporarily stop excessive sweating. Easing up those migraine headaches that occur after constant teeth grinding is another benefit.
