Neurotoxin Treatment (Botox and Dysport)
As time passes, the continuous contraction of facial muscles can cause the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. The deeper these muscles contract, the more persistent the lines may become. Neurotoxin treatments relax facial muscles to result in a smoother, rejuvenated appearance by no longer allowing underlying muscles to tense and create lines, creases, and wrinkles. Not only are Botox and Dysport some of the most effective anti-aging treatments available, but they are also minimally invasive with timely results and are more cost-effective than anti-aging surgical procedures. Neurotoxin treatments are injected with a very tiny needle and most patients say the injections feel similar to a little pinch. Within days, patients will begin to notice smoother skin. Full results are shown after 14 days. During the consultation process we will discuss your desired results and your areas of concern.
The most commonly treated areas of the face include:
Forehead to treat horizontal forehead lines
Between the eyebrows (11 lines) known as the glabellar complex
Crows Feet or around the eyes to relax the orbicularis oculi muscle
Other popular treatment areas:
Upper Lip (“lip flip”)
Nose or “ bunny lines”
Eyebrows to create lift
Masseters for those that clench or grind their teeth (TMJ) or for facial slimming
Chin to improve orange peel texture
Neck or Platysmal Bands
Downward Smile
Gummy Smile
Underarms for excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis
Post treatment we recommend:
Avoid rubbing or massaging the injection sites
Stay upright for 4 hours
Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating or heat exposure for 24 hours
Wash your face gently post treatment
Avoid tight hats or visors for 3-4 days
Avoid invasive laser treatments, microneedling, or chemical peels for 7-10 days
