Side effects are also possible - from a mask-like face to puffiness, including under the eyes.

Synthetic peptides with botulinum-like action.

The advantage of synthetic peptides is the complete absence of side effects. When applied to the skin, the muscle relaxant effect does not occur immediately, but after about 3-5 days and reaches a maximum by the 28th day of use.

Example: DermaQuest peptide peeling - eliminates wrinkles and rejuvenates the skin, allowing you to do without injections.
