Neurotoxin treatments are widely used in aesthetics to relax targeted muscles, soften dynamic wrinkles, and create a refreshed, natural appearance while preserving facial expression. Beyond cosmetic use, neurotoxins are also highly effective for medical concerns such as TMJ dysfunction, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and trapezius muscle tension, helping relieve pain, decrease muscle overactivity, and improve quality of life. There are several FDA-approved neurotoxin brands available, each with unique properties.
During your consultation, we will discuss which option may work best for your anatomy, goals, and treatment area. We believe in transparent, patient-centered pricing. That’s why we price neurotoxin by the area rather than by the unit, so you know exactly what to expect and can feel confident in your investment. Our goal is optimal, balanced results — not under-treatment. If you return for your complimentary 2-week follow-up and your results are not yet where we want them to be, we will add additional neurotoxin at no extra charge until your goals are achieved.
Applications for Neurotoxin
Although originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of eye and muscle spasms, BOTOX Cosmetic was quickly recognized for its cosmetic value. Properly placed injections of BOTOX Cosmetic block nerve impulses sent to muscles, weakening them to the point where they cannot contract, and temporarily eliminating moderately severe furrows and lines. BOTOX Cosmetic is used to treat the following:
- Forehead furrows
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Skin bands on the neck
According to Allergan, BOTOX Cosmetic has been “extensively researched, with approximately 2500 studies.”
Neurotoxin Treatment & Results
Using a very fine needle, Neurotoxin is injected directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. Receiving the injections requires no anesthetic, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream. Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, and typically last 3-4 months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer. At Peak Aesthetics and Wellness injections will be given only by qualified and highly trained medical professionals.
Side Effects of Neurotoxin
Injection-site side effects of Neurotoxin are usually mild and temporary, and include the following:
- Pain
- Infection
- Inflammation
- Tenderness
- Swelling
- Redness
- Bleeding
- Bruising
Normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections.
