Neurotoxins, including Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify®, are injectable procedures designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. Each of these products is derived from botulinum toxin type A and works primarily by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, which causes them to relax and soften the skin above them. While Botox® is widely known and often the go-to choice, Dysport® spreads more easily, which can be beneficial for treating larger areas. Jeuveau® is often chosen for its effectiveness and affordability, while Daxxify® boasts a longer duration of results. Neurotoxins can be used to treat areas such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows.

Good candidates for neurotoxin treatments are adults who desire to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles caused by muscle movement. They should be healthy, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and without neuromuscular conditions.

The results of neurotoxins usually last between 3 to 6 months, which depends on the specific product used and different factors such as metabolism and muscle activity.
There is minimal downtime with neurotoxin treatments. Some patients may experience mild side effects, such as bruising or inflammation at the injection site, which usually resolve within a few days.
Before treatment, avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the risk of bruising. After treatment, avoid rubbing the treated area, stay upright for several hours, and refrain from strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.
During the treatment, a thin needle will be used by a healthcare professional to inject small amounts of the neurotoxin into specific facial muscles. The procedure is typically quick, with minimal discomfort, and does not require anesthesia.
