As we age and skin loses elasticity, the repetitive facial muscle movements we use in everyday life begin to create fine lines and wrinkles even at rest.

We can help slow this process with a little bit of botulinum toxin A. At VS, we use Xeomin® or Botox® depending on your treatment goals. By delivering a precise dose to targeted facial muscles, it reduces their activity and smooths out the skin.

Within days of treatment, muscles relax, preventing new wrinkles and softening existing ones. Commonly treated areas include the forehead, frown lines, crow's feet, and upper lip lines. Results typically last 3-4 months, with longevity increasing with regular treatments.
