Summary
This study compares two popular wrinkle treatments—Botox and Xeomin—for forehead lines and frown lines between the eyebrows. Twenty healthy adults aged 20 to 65 with moderate wrinkles receive both treatments on different sides of their face, and doctors rate the results over six months. The goal is to see if one works better or lasts longer.
