ABOUT NEUROTOXINS

WHAT IT IS

Neurotoxins are an FDA approved treatment that have been used medically since the 1970s. They are safe, highly effective and require zero downtime. When carefully injected, Botox®, Dysport® and Xeomin® give skin a smooth and renewed appearance that looks natural.

Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and other neurotoxins target the underlying causes of wrinkles and frown lines. The neurotoxin blocks the signal from the nerves that make the muscle move. This allows the wrinkles to soften and prevents new wrinkles from forming.

HOW IT WORKS

Treatment is quick & can typically be completed with a handful of tiny injections in less than 30 minutes. Noticeable results can generally be observed 5-7 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post treatment.
