What Is a Neurotoxin?
A neurotoxin is an injectable substance used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by blocking nerve signals to the muscles in the treated area. This causes the muscles to relax, leading to smoother skin. These treatments are popular for addressing dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive facial movements such as frowning, squinting, and smiling
What Can I Expect From My Neurotoxin Treatment?
Neurotoxins can be performed with little or no noticeable side effects. Generally, you can expect to see relaxing of the wrinkles between 5 and 10 days.
How Long Will My Treatment Last?
Neurotoxins works to reduce facial wrinkles for 3 – 6 months. Over time with continued usage, many of our patients find that they may only need an occasional neurotoxin injection during the year. Effectiveness does vary from individual to individual and we would be happy to discuss any limitations in detail during your cosmetic consultation.
