Neurotoxins

At Folawns, we offer some of the worlds’ leading brands of facial injections to improve the appearance of your skin. Botox uses a form of botulinum toxin to temporarily paralyze muscle activity. Botox injections are the perfect form of treatment to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and crow’s feet in adults. 

We invite you to schedule a consultation with one of our injectors to determine how many units you would need.

Neuromodulators, a family of medicines that includes Daxxify, Botox, and Dysport essentially freeze wrinkles by injecting a minute amount of botulinum toxin into underlying muscle, causing the tissue to relax and create a smoother appearance for overlying skin, according to the ASDS. The effect wears off over time, and many people get multiple injections each year in order to maintain the look of wrinkle-free skin.
