A commonly performed procedure, neurotoxins such as Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® are commonly used to relax specific muscles of the face. Subsequently, this leads to a decreased appearance of your facial lines and wrinkles. In addition, neurotoxins are also preventative – meaning that they stop shallow lines from progressing into larger, more permanent wrinkles.
What are the indications for using neurotoxins?
- Smile or frown lines
- Forehead lines
- Lines around the mouth
- “Bunny lines” along the nose
- “Crow’s feet” around the eyes
- Gummy smile
- Lip lines
- Dimpled chin
- Excessive sweating along underarms or hands
- Platysmal bands
How quickly will you see results?
With Botox®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®, full response is expected within 1-2 weeks. Dysport® can work more quickly, with full results typically within 1 week.
How often/ should I repeat treatment?
Most patients repeat treatment every 4-6 months.
