Neurotoxins block nerve signals that activate specific facial muscles. As these muscles relax, the wrinkles diminish. Therefore, these injectable treatments are effective techniques for both reducing the appearance of wrinkles and preventing them.
Neurotoxins are treatments that block nerve signals in the body. These treatments are used to target the cause of facial wrinkles to produce a more youthful appearance and prevent the further development of these unwanted traits. It is well-known that wrinkles are a side effect of aging, but their primary cause is frequent muscle movement in the face. Wrinkles develop around the eyes and forehead because these parts of the face are particularly expressive and active.
We currently offer Botox, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Xeomin, which can be used to address the following facial wrinkles:
Forehead lines and wrinkles
Crow's feet
Frown lines (or glabellar lines)
A very thin needle is used to inject small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific muscles. By carefully choosing specific muscles, your healthcare provider weakens only the wrinkle producing muscles, preserving your natural facial expressions. Botulinum toxin treatment injections typically take less than 15 minutes.
Injectables are a popular cosmetic treatment because they require little to no downtime. With neurotoxins, it is common to experience some minor redness and swelling in the treatment area. However, these symptoms typically fade within a few days of treatment. Otherwise, patients are able to return to all usual activities immediately following their appointment.
The results from Neurotoxin injections will become gradually visible as the formulas take effect in the body. Many patients experience results within a few days, with the full results setting in within a week of treatment. The results from Neurotoxins are clinically proven to last four to six months. After this time, many patients choose to receive additional injections to maintain their results.
