Neurotoxins, such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, temporarily block nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. These injectable treatments contain a purified form of botulinum toxin, which inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle movement. By relaxing the targeted muscles, neurotoxins smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The localized action of neurotoxins allows for precise treatment of specific areas, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, while leaving other facial functions unaffected.
Patients may experience minimal discomfort during the treatment as a fine needle administers the neurotoxin. Topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort.
The treatment itself usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes, making it a great treatment option for those with busy schedules.
Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the site of injection may occur, but these usually subside quickly. Rarely, slight headaches or drooping eyelids can be experienced, but they resolve on their own.
You may notice effects within a few days, with optimal results appearing within one to two weeks.

Yes, neurotoxins can be complemented with dermal fillers or other aesthetic treatments to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
