About Neurotoxins
What It Is
Botox neurotoxin is a treatment that has been used medically since the 1970s. Safe and highly effective treatments like Botox®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® give the skin a smooth, renewed appearance that looks natural. These treatments require minimal downtime and are quick to administer.
How It Works
Neurotoxins target the underlying causes of wrinkles and frown lines by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle movement. This action allows wrinkles to soften and prevents new wrinkles from forming, leading to a more youthful appearance.
What To Expect
The treatment is quick and can typically be completed with a few tiny injections in less than 30 minutes. Noticeable results are generally observed 5-7 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post-treatment. Results typically last 3 to 4 months. With consistent treatments, the muscles "learn" to stay relaxed, often leading to longer-lasting results over time.
FAQs

The amount of treatment needed depends on several factors, including the area(s) being treated (such as 11s, forehead, crow’s feet), the strength of your facial muscles, and the depth of your existing lines. A complimentary consultation with our practitioners will help create a personalized plan for you.
