Wrinkle Relaxers: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin
Neurotoxins are a highly effective, FDA-approved treatment that reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful look. By targeting the underlying causes of wrinkles, neurotoxins prevent new wrinkles from forming, offering long-lasting results with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
About Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins are an FDA approved treatment that have been used medically since the 1970s. They are safe, highly effective and require zero downtime. When carefully injected, Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport give skin a smooth and renewed appearance that looks natural.
What it is
How it Works
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and other neurotoxins target the underlying causes of wrinkles and frown lines. We inject small doses into the end of a nerve to temporarily block its impulses and allow facial muscles to relax.
What to Expect
Treatment only takes 10-15 minutes, and a few tiny injections. You can be in and out on your lunch break! Noticeable results should appear 3-5 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post treatment.
FAQs
-
You are considered a good candidate for neurotoxins if you have crow's feet, frown lines, laugh lines, forehead furrows, drooping eyebrows, fine lines and wrinkles on your face, neck, or décolletage. You must be generally physically healthy with no history of neuromuscular diseases (such as multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis). And of course, no pregnant or lactating women. You must be at least 18 years old.
-
You may see effects as early as 3 – 4 days after injection. However, it typically takes 10 – 14 days after the procedure for this anti-aging treatment to reach full effect.
-
Most clients describe the sensation as a tiny pinch. The needle used is quite small, goes in smoothly, and the neurotoxin is injected quickly, resulting in minimal pain. Numbing agents are not typically used for this treatment.
-
The amount of treatment needed depends on several factors, including the area(s) being treated (such as 11s, forehead, crow’s feet), the strength of your facial muscles, and the depth of your existing lines. A complimentary consultation with our practitioners will help create a personalized plan for you.
-
There is virtually zero downtime with neurotoxin treatments. Often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure,” most patients can return to work or normal activities immediately. Some redness and swelling may occur at the injection sites but usually subside within a few hours. Minor bruising is rare.
-
Results typically last around 3-6 months, depending on the treatment location, your muscle activity, and your body’s response.
-
While Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are all neurotoxin injectables used to treat and prevent wrinkles, their chemical compositions slightly differ. Our practitioners will explain the differences and help you choose the best product for your needs.
-
Neurotoxin injections are very common and low-risk procedures. The most reported side effects include headaches, minor bruising, and swelling at the injection site, although these are rare. Your nurse injector will cover all potential risks before treatment.
-
