Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by loss of fat tissue, collagen, elastin, and can be produced by repetitive muscle movement. This movement causes creases and over time they turn into deep lines. The most famous treatment used nowadays is the Botulinum toxin type A. It is also known as Botox, Xeomin®, Dysport®. This is a non-invasive treatment that effectively remove unwanted wrinkles.
