Neurotoxins like Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are popular injectable treatments that temporarily smooth wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing targeted muscles. These treatments use botulinum toxin to block nerve signals, preventing muscle contractions that cause wrinkles. With a minimally invasive approach, neurotoxins offer an effective solution for a more youthful appearance.
During the procedure, a healthcare provider will inject the neurotoxin into the targeted muscles. The treatment typically takes only a few minutes, and you may experience slight discomfort or swelling at the injection site.
Neurotoxin treatments help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Results are visible within a few days and can last for several months.
Ideal candidates for neurotoxin treatments are adults looking to smooth fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Those in good health and without active skin infections or neuromuscular disorders are generally suitable.
Before the treatment, avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and certain medications to reduce the risk of bruising. Afterward, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, and refrain from strenuous activity for 24 hours to ensure optimal results.
