Overview
What is Botox?
Botox is a purified neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines. As those muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out.
Every face moves differently. At Vita Nova, doses and injection points are customized to your anatomy and goals, so you look refreshed rather than frozen.
