Neurotoxins such as Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify are most commonly used in medical aesthetics for both preventive and corrective treatment of superficial lines and wrinkles in the face. There are four brands of neuromodulators currently available on the market in the United States – Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify, and Jeuveau – all of which contain Botulinum Toxin Type A, the active ingredient responsible for the impressive results neurotoxin treatment has become so popular for.
Neurotoxin injections are administered directly into the specific muscle to relax movement that causes fine lines and wrinkles or are superficially injected under the skin to improve its appearance. These neurotoxins provide a safe and effective way to achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Neurotoxins are substances that can block nerve signals, temporarily relaxing muscles. In medical aesthetics, neurotoxins are used to treat wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles that cause these skin concerns. The most common neurotoxins include Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify.
Anyone looking to reduce visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, is a good candidate for neurotoxin treatment. Individuals in good health without a history of neurological disorders are ideal candidates.
Results from Neurotoxins typically appear within 3 to 7 days post-treatment, with full effects visible at two weeks.
The effects of neurotoxins usually last between 3 and 4 months, after which follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired appearance.
Neurotoxin treatment require no downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities immediately. Side effects are generally mild, including possible temporary bruising or redness at the injection site.
Before receiving Neurotoxins, avoid alcohol, anti-inflammatory medications, and blood thinners to reduce bruising. Post-treatment, refrain from strenuous activities for 24 hours and keep the treated area upright.
During the treatment, small amounts of Neurotoxins are injected with fine needles into targeted areas. The process is quick, typically taking about 10 to 20 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
