Neurotoxin Treatments
Neurotoxin Treatments
Neurotoxins like Botox® and Dysport® are advanced injectable treatments designed to temporarily relax specific muscles, reducing wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements. By blocking nerve signals to the muscles, these treatments effectively prevent contractions, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. Common treatment areas include forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines (also known as “11 lines”), and neck bands. Additionally, neurotoxins can address concerns like jaw Botox® for jawline slimming, gummy smiles, and even excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
These treatments are ideal for adults who wish to reduce the appearance of fine lines or manage functional concerns caused by overactive muscles. While initial results typically appear within 3-7 days, full effects are visible after two weeks. On average, results last 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors like metabolism and the treated area. For long-term benefits, regular follow-up appointments are recommended.
