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®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® give skin a smooth and renewed appearance that looks natural.

  • Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and other neurotoxins target the underlying causes of wrinkles and frown lines. The neurotoxin blocks the signal from the nerves that make the muscle move. This allows the wrinkles to soften and prevents new wrinkles from forming.

  • Treatment is quick & can typically be completed with a handful of tiny injections in less than 30 minutes. Noticeable results can generally be observed 5-7 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post treatment.

  • Each patient is unique, so every patient will receive a customized dose of neurotoxin, eitherBotox, Dysport, or Xeomin. This is based on your medical history, muscle strength, areas beingtreated, and desired outcome.

  • Botox, Dysport, & Xeomin are most often used to treat crow’s feet, frown, furrow and forehead lines. Since every patient is unique, please schedule a consultation so we can do a comprehensive assessment.

Procedure time: 15-30mins

Recovery time: minimal

FAQs

  • It depends on several factors including: which area(s) you are trying to treat (11s, forehead, crow’s feet, etc), the strength of your facial muscles, and how deep your existing lines are. We recommend a complimentary consultation with our nurse injector to create a plan that is right for you.

  • There’s virtually zero downtime with these treatments. Neurotoxins are often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure,” since most patients return directly to work or normal activity immediately. Some redness and swelling may occur at the injection sites, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Very rarely, patients may experience minor bruising.

  • Results last around 3-6 months, depending on the location of the treatment, your muscle activity and your body’s individual response.

  • While Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are all neurotoxin injectables used to treat and prevent wrinkles, their chemical compositions slightly differ. Your nurse injector will educate you on the differences & allow you to choose which product you’d prefer to use.

    BOTOX® takes about 5 to 7 days for results to appear, and lasts about 3 to 4 months
    Dysport® takes about 2 to 4 days for results to appear, and lasts about 4 months
    Xeomin® takes about 5 to 7 days for results to appear, and lasts about 3 to 4 months
