{:en} Why do we get wrinkles? Like the muscles in our entire body, the striated muscles on our face contract and relaxvoluntarily. In our daily life, we involuntarily use our facial muscles frequently when weunconsciously look at the screen or squint our eyes on a sunny day, and as a result, the wrinkles on our face become evident. Frequent repetition of our mimics with advancing age causes these wrinkles to settle and deepen over time. With the increasing degree of wrinkles, the skin reflects less light, and the face has a more shadowy and tired appearance. How does botulinum toxin work against wrinkles?

{:en} One of the concepts we’ve been hearing more and more in recent years is ‘frequency.’ But what does it truly mean? In physics, frequency is simply the rate of vibration. Everything in the universe, from atoms to cells, exists in a state of vibration. In spiritual terms, this concept takes on a more metaphorical meaning: it refers to the energetic expression of our emotions, thoughts, and states of consciousness. From this perspective, emotions such as fear, guilt, and anger are considered more ‘dense’ and lower-vibrational, while love, compassion, and awareness are regarded as higher-frequency.
