Neurotoxins are treatments designed to temporarily relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The most common neurotoxins used are Botox and Dysport. The Botox treatment works by preventing nerve signals from reaching muscles, thus making skin smoother. Dysport, similar to Botox, is also a neurotoxin but has a slightly different formulation that allows it to spread more easily in larger areas. These treatments are often used to address concerns such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
Neurotoxins are suitable for adults looking to reduce signs of aging without undergoing surgery. Results from neurotoxin treatments can typically be seen within a few days, with the full effect developing over one to two weeks. The results usually last three to four months, depending on the individual and the specific product used.

There is minimal downtime with neurotoxin treatments. The most common side effects are mild redness or swelling at the injection site, which usually subside after a few days.
Before treatment, avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the risk of bruising. After treatment, avoid rubbing the treated area and refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
During a neurotoxin treatment, your practitioner will inject the product into the targeted muscles with a fine needle. It usually takes about 10-20 minutes to complete the procedure, depending on where the treatment is being performed.
