Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins, such as Botox, Jeuveau, and Xeomin, are FDA-approved injectables that temporarily block nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This process relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as those formed from smiling, frowning, or squinting. By targeting specific areas of the face, Neurotoxins smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, helping to restore a youthful appearance. The results are gradual, with effects typically lasting 3 to 6 months before a touch-up treatment is needed.

How Neurotoxins Work

Neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking the signals that cause certain facial muscles to contract. This relaxation of the muscles prevents the formation of wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. The treatment involves a series of small, precise injections into the targeted muscles. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and provides immediate results. Over time, the relaxed muscles smooth out the wrinkles, leading to a more youthful, refreshed look.

Conditions Treated by Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins are effective for treating the following concerns:

• Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
• Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
• Neck bands (platysma lines)
• Lip lines (smoker’s lines)

Ideal Candidates for Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins are ideal for individuals looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. The treatment is suitable for both men and women who are seeking a non-surgical, quick solution to smooth out dynamic wrinkles and achieve a more youthful appearance. Neurotoxins are also an excellent preventive measure for those in their late 20s or early 30s looking to delay the formation of deeper lines.
