Cosmetic Injections

BOTOX, DYSPORT, DAXXIFY, AND XEOMIN (Also Called neurotoxins)

Wrinkles and fine lines are eventually bound to appear, but they don’t have to stay. Furrows, fine lines, and wrinkles begin to develop as the natural collagen in skin reduces with age. Neurotoxins can smooth lines, wrinkles and creases, creating beautiful, smooth skin that glowing with youthful radiance.

Neurotoxin treatments, commonly known as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify, are non-surgical cosmetic procedures used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. These treatments are derived from botulinum toxin, a purified protein that, when injected in small doses, can smooth dynamic wrinkles, prevent new wrinkles from forming, and address certain medical conditions.

How Do Neurotoxin Treatments Work?

Neurotoxin injections work by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are formed from repetitive facial movements like frowning, squinting, or smiling. Over time, this results in smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Neurotoxin Treatments

– Quick and Minimally Invasive: The procedure is fast, typically taking 10-20 minutes, with no downtime required.

– Visible Results: Most patients notice smoother skin and reduced wrinkles within a few days, with full results appearing within two weeks.
– Long-Lasting Effects: Results typically last 3-4 months, after which the treatment can be repeated.
– Preventative Measure: Regular treatments can prevent the formation of new wrinkles by limiting repetitive facial movements.
– Versatility: In addition to cosmetic uses, neurotoxins can treat medical conditions like chronic migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating.

Neurotoxin treatments are suitable for:

– Individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines.
– Those looking for a non-surgical, quick solution for facial rejuvenation.
– People who want to prevent future wrinkles by minimizing muscle activity.
– Patients suffering from conditions like hyperhidrosis, chronic migraines, or muscle spasms.

What to Expect During the Treatment?

– Consultation: A thorough consultation with a healthcare provider or cosmetic professional to discuss your goals and assess your suitability for the treatment.
– Procedure: The treatment involves a series of small injections into the targeted muscles. The procedure is usually well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort.
– Aftercare: You can resume most normal activities immediately after treatment. It’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing the treated area, or lying down flat for a few hours post-treatment.

Neurotoxin treatments are generally safe, but some individuals may experience mild side effects, including:

– Redness or Swelling: Temporary at the injection sites.
– Bruising: Minor bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days.
– Headache or Flu-like Symptoms: Rare but possible after the treatment.
– Drooping Eyelid or Brow: Occurs infrequently and is typically temporary, resolving within a few weeks.

Forehead, Frown Lines, & Crow Feet
We all probably know neurotoxins will correct the wrinkles in your forehead, Frown Lines (aka your 11’s) & Crows Feet. But there is so much more we can do….

Bunny Lines
Vertical frown lines that appear above the nose. Depending on how often you squint or scowl, these lines can become very prominent wrinkles deeply etched into your forehead. Neurotoxins can gradually eliminate these creases, giving you a smoother and more attractive forehead. If you have strong 11’s (between your brows) most of the time your bunny lines are needed to be treated otherwise this muscle will overcompensate for it.
Chin
A few units of neurotoxin in the chin area can decrease or eliminate chin dimpling. The treatment leads to a forced relaxation of the muscle in the chin and can smooth out the dimpling very effectively.

Neck
We all have a pair of vertical neck bands, known as platysma muscle bands, at the front and sides of the neck. In part of a natural aging process, the vertical bands can become more noticeable due to the fact that they are very frequently in use. Dynamic muscles like these commonly increase in size after years of hyperactivity. Additionally, our skin loses volume and becomes more lax as we age, making the neck bands more prominent and causing the neck to appear older. Neurotoxins can relax the dynamic muscles, making them less prominent, and resulting in a smoother, younger looking neck. The results can generally last 4-6 months. The procedure, as with any neurotoxin treatment, can be repeated when the results begin to wear off.

GUMMY SMILE
If when you smile or laugh, people see your gums as much as they see your teeth, this is called a “Gummy Smile.”  You might feel self-conscious and unhappy about this, but the good news is a well-placed neurotoxin can fix it. With just a few units of tox, you can relax the overactive muscles responsible for pulling on the upper lip causing the gums to show when smiling.

LIP FLIP
Injecting a small amount of neurotoxin close to the upper lip, relaxes that muscle to show more of the wet border giving the appearance of a fuller upper lip without lip filler. This result can last anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 months. A lip flip can give you the lip you have been looking for without the use of fillers for some clients. Some clients may require a combination of filler and neurotoxin to achieve a desired look. Combination therapy is usually necessary by clients with smaller lips or clients with lines or wrinkles for the perfect correction.

JAW
Some people have strong masseter muscles — translating to a more square-shaped jawline. Having a large masseter muscle in the jaw causes a wider bulging jawline. Injecting neurotoxin into the masseter muscle will help relax the muscle and give you a softer and narrower jawline that’s more esthetic. It will also help with clenching and grinding teeth at night which may cause headaches.

Sad Smile
Muscles that attach from your mandible to the corners of your mouth begin to pull as we age and lose elasticity, giving you the appearance of a sad smile when you aren’t indeed sad. This can be easily treated with a few units on these muscles to relax the pull and give you a happy smile again!
