About Neurotoxins
WHAT IT IS
Neurotoxins are treatments that have been used medically since the 1970s. Safe and highly effective, neurotoxin treatments like Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify® give the skin a smooth, renewed appearance that looks natural. These treatments require zero 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.
