Neurotoxins
Are Expression Lines Getting You Down?
Chances are you’ve heard of Botox®, Xeomin® or Jeuveau® but maybe you don’t know what they are or what they do. They are all considered neurotoxin treatments and are designed to combat wrinkles that are caused by repeated facial expressions, giving you a more youthful appearance. You may be a candidate for neurotoxin treatment if you have lines and wrinkles that bother you, but it can also be done as a preventative measure. This minimally-invasive treatment is administered through facial injections and delivers results within 2 days to 2 weeks.*
How Do Neurotoxins Work?
Botox®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau® are neurotoxins that block nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Wrinkles caused by repeated and typical facial movements can typically benefit from the procedure.
Typical target areas include:
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead Lines
- Furrows Between The Brows
Additional areas include:
- Upper lip to increase volume
- Smokers lines
- Neck banding
Injections are minimally-invasive and require no downtime.
