Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins minimize facial muscle movement by interfering with nerve and muscle signals and preventing the muscles from contracting. When the facial muscles relax, lines and wrinkles appear smoother and discourage new lines from forming.

Why do we see an increase in facial lines as we age? The rate at which we produce collagen and elastin slows as we get older. Collagen and elastin are building blocks of the skin, often associated with suppleness, fullness, and skin resilience. We also develop wrinkles when we use our facial muscles. Some notice an increase in lines around the mouth from smiling or frowning or around the eyes from squinting. Neurotoxin Injections are an excellent option for clients who want to treat and prevent fine lines and wrinkles.

Dysport® is a botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes your facial muscles, giving you a smoother, more youthful appearance. It specifically treats moderate to severe frown lines between your eyebrows by reducing the muscle activity that causes them. Just one injection into each of the 5 points between and above your eyebrows will temporarily prevent contractions and give you a more relaxed and refreshed look. Dysport® is an easy, convenient way to reduce the signs of aging and help you feel more confident about your appearance.

FAQ's

At LJ Aesthetics, we carry a variety of neurotoxins to achieve different aesthetic goals. We offer Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®. If you don't have a preferred neurotoxin brand, our injector will help you choose the best option for your needs.

Neurotoxins block the release of acetylcholine, disrupting the signals that tell facial muscles to contract. Lines and wrinkles form when you smile and make other facial expressions. Over time, they gradually deepen and become more pronounced. Neurotoxins help facial muscles relax, creating a smoother and firmer appearance while preventing the formation of more fine lines.

It varies by brand, but you will typically see results within two to four days. Neurotoxin results last about three to six months. Maintenance appointments are needed for long-term results and preventative care.

The rate at which we produce collagen and elastin slows as we get older. Collagen and elastin are building blocks of the skin, often associated with suppleness, fullness, and skin resilience. While neurotoxins smooth lines and wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles, they do not restore collagen or create volume. If you are interested in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, consider scheduling a dermal filler or Sculptra consultation with our expert injector at LJ Aesthetics.
