· Those who need effective Botox in Tokyo.
· Those with wrinkles on the forehead / glabella / temples.
· Those with crow's feet.
· Those with frown lines between the eyes.
· Those who wish to eliminate wrinkles and/or prevent them from getting deeper.

Botox injections are usually injected into the muscle layer and prevent wrinkles by suppressing the movement of facial muscles.

Skin Botox finely injects Botox into the shallow dermis layer of the skin and weakens the action of only the surface fibers of the muscles to improve wrinkles and tighten the skin while maintaining a natural look. It is also effective in unclogging pores and improving acne.

Botulinum Toxin is a naturally occurring protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. The amount of toxin used in treatments is minimal and extremely safe. The Botulinum acts on the nerve endings found in the muscles rendering the muscles temporarily inactive thereby making the face appear softer, smoother and younger.
