Faq's

Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily relax the muscles underneath the skin to smooth out wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Common types include Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeaveau®. They block nerve signals to the muscles, reducing muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles.

Neurotoxins are commonly used to treat areas where expression lines appear, such as the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the mouth. They can also be used for brow lifts and to address bands on the neck.

The injections are generally not considered painful, as the needles are fine. The sensation is described by some patients as a slight pinch or discomfort. If concerned about pain, patients can discuss options for topical anesthetics with their provider before treatment.

The effects of neurotoxins usually last between three to four months. Over time, regular treatments may lead to longer-lasting impacts as the muscles become accustomed to reduced activity.

Most adults in good health can receive neurotoxins treatments. However, they are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain neurological diseases, or those allergic to any components of the injection. It is necessary to consult a healthcare provider before using neurotoxins.

After treatment, patients can expect minimal downtime and may return to their daily activities immediately. Injection-related side effects such as swelling, redness, or bruising typically resolve quickly. To avoid spreading the product to unintended muscles, do not rub or massage the treated area for the first 24 hours after application.
