What is a facial aesthetics treatment?
Facial aesthetic procedures are advanced treatments with rejuvenating properties for enhancing your appearance and improving your self-image and pride. Today’s innovative facial aesthetic treatments and skincare combine both art and modern science, so that even small changes can provide dramatic facial improvements. These treatments can soften wrinkles, fill acne pockmarks, contour the face, and define certain facial features.

Of these traditional methods, what is the most popular treatment?
Botox injections are among the most popular cosmetic medical procedures. Botulinum toxin blocks the transmitters between the motor nerves that innervate the muscle, which simply means Botox is a type of muscle relaxer.
Once the motor nerve endings are interrupted, the muscle cannot contract – and when that muscle stops contracting, the dynamic motion that causes wrinkles also stops. Consequently, the skin smooths out.
