The results of botulinum toxin injections typically last 3-4 months, and it is a safe and effective treatment option that can be repeated regularly over many years.
  • Hyaluronic acid-based skin boosters are an additional and effective treatment particularly when used in combination with botulinum toxin injections. Together they help restore and rejuvenate ageing facial skin.
