Frequently Asked
Questions

Neurotoxins are a class of injectable treatments that reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. These treatments are highly effective for smoothing dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are three popular neurotoxins, each with unique properties and benefits.

Neurotoxins contain botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles. By preventing muscle contractions, neurotoxins help to smooth existing wrinkles and prevent the formation of new ones. The results are natural-looking and maintain facial expressiveness while reducing signs of aging.

  • Non-Surgical: Achieve a more youthful appearance without surgery.
  • Quick and Convenient: Treatment sessions are typically short, often taking less than 30 minutes.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
  • Effective Results: Noticeable improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Results vary by product, with Dysport typically showing effects within 2-3 days, Botox within 3-5 days, and Xeomin within 4-5 days.

The effects of Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport generally last about 3-4 months.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort due to the use of fine needles and optional numbing cream.
