One of the reasons people develop wrinkles is because their skin starts to lose elasticity with age. Collagen and elastin keep skin firm, allowing it to bounce back into place when you smile or frown, but as collagen and elastin production diminishes, your skin is no longer as flexible. Every time you smile, frown, or make any other expression, it creases your skin, forming dynamic wrinkles.
Injectable neurotoxins are substances made from the toxin the bacterium Clostridium botulinum produces. This toxin interrupts signals your brain sends to your muscles, which is helpful in reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
Both Botox and Xeomin effectively reduce wrinkles and fine lines. These neurotoxins are especially adept at smoothing dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions and age-related fine lines on the upper face.
Botox is a neurotoxin used to temporarily paralyze muscles, commonly used for cosmetic treatments to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
Xeomin is a neurotoxin similar to Botox, used for cosmetic purposes to relax muscles temporarily, without the complexing proteins found in some other neurotoxins.
