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.
