Neurotoxin, when injected into the facial muscles, temporarily relaxes the muscles by interrupting the nerve signals that tell the muscles to contract. The result is less muscle movement, which reduces the wrinkling of the skin above the muscles. This allows for improvement in lines and wrinkles without the total loss of facial expression.

Neurotoxin can be used in the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, around the mouth, in the jawline, and even in the neck. Neurotoxin provides improvement of lines and wrinkles, a lift of the eyebrows, jawline slimming, and improvement of a ‘gummy smile’. When used around the border of the mouth, neurotoxin can even be used to help the upper lip appear bigger without the use of dermal fillers.

SUMMER TIP: neurotoxin can be used to treat the underarms to minimize excessive sweating for up to one year. Major win!

Typical treatment of the face lasts approximately 3 months and should be maintained throughout the year for best results. When maintained on a regular schedule, the targeted muscles weaken, and deep static lines will not return at their previous severity, giving you a smoother, younger appearance.

• Avoid alcohol and ibuprofen for 24-48 hours prior to treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and bleeding
• Stay hydrated
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure/sunburn prior to treatment as this compromises skin integrity

• No lying flat or repeatedly bending over for 4 hours after treatment to ensure tox does not spread past the desired treatment area
• Avoid touching the face & ensure clean hands
• Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat, such as saunas, for 24-48 hours to prevent diffusion or spread of toxin
• BE PATIENT 😊 toxin settle takes two full weeks! Asymmetry and uneven movement up until he two week mark is normal
• Follow up! A follow up appointment at the two week mark allows your provider to assess your results and also provide any touch ups needed for a perfect result!
