How Neurotoxins Are Being Used For Prejuvenation Treatments

Neurotoxins are perhaps one of the top vehicles for prejuvenation. Neurotoxins have been around for decades and are a proven remedy for preventing and softening lines and wrinkles. The toxins block signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected facial muscle can no longer contract as much, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. The thought behind prejuvenation is, if you start neurotoxins early, they can prevent lines and wrinkles from ever forming.
