Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® are injectable treatments used to temporarily soften facial lines and wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement.
They work by relaxing targeted facial muscles, resulting in a smoother, more refreshed appearance. The effects can last 3 to 4 months.
Common treatment areas:
Frown lines (Between the eyebrows - "11 lines")
Forehead lines
Crow's feed (Outer eye wrinkles)
Bunny lines (Sides of the nose)
Lip flip or gummy smile
Chin dimpling
Neck bands (Platysmal bands)
What to expect during treatment?
Quick appointment (About 10-15 minutes)
Minimal discomfort (feels like a small pinch)
No anesthesia needed
Return to normal activities right after (with a few precautions)
Aftercare instructions:
Stay upright for 4 hours
Avoid rubbing or touching treated areas
Skip makeup for at least 4 hours
Avoid exercise for 24 hours
Limit alcohol or blood-thinning meds if possible
Possible side effects
Redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites
Mild headache or flu-like feeling
Temporary eyelid or eyebrow droop (RARE)
Uneven results (Can be adjusted at follow-up)
Who should avoid neurotoxins?
Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding
Those who have a neuromuscular condition (E.G., Myasthenia Gravis)
Those who have a known allergy to Botulinum toxin ingredients
Those who have an active infection at the injection site
Follow-up
We may schedule a 2-week follow-up to assess results and perform any necessary touch-ups
Final Note
Results vary by individual and muscle activity. With consistent treatments, neurotoxins can help maintain a naturally refreshed and youthful look.
