GENERAL PRINCIPLE

Then, it helps the muscle to relax. Cosmetic use of Botox increases over the years. Despite of the muscle correction associated with facial expression on the face, the injection into the upper side of the trapezius is becoming a common procedure for making a smooth shoulder line. As a result, the treatment can improve the appearance of the neck and shoulder and back.
