Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins in Orlando, FL
Neurotoxins, including Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, are treatments used to address and reduce facial wrinkles. These products temporarily paralyze the muscles, contributing to wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. The active ingredient in these treatments is a highly purified toxin that blocks the nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting and thus smoothing out the skin. This effect makes neurotoxins effective for treating crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines.
Neurotoxins in Orlando, FL, are ideal for individuals seeking to reduce aging signs and achieve a more refreshed appearance. The treatments are quick, typically involving a series of injections in an office setting. Results can be seen as early as a few days after treatment, with optimal results appearing within two weeks. The effects of neurotoxins generally last between three to six months, after which additional treatments are necessary to maintain results.

Brands We Carry
Botox®
Botox® is a popular neurotoxin widely used to reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines. Therefore, it temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and between the eyebrows. Botox® treatments are quick and have minimal downtime, making them convenient for those seeking a more youthful appearance.
Dysport®
Dysport® is similar to Botox® in its use and effectiveness. Its ability to spread more upon injection makes forehead treatments ideal. Dysport® helps soften expression lines without compromising the natural movement of facial features, offering noticeable yet subtle results.
Xeomin®
A highly purified neurotoxin, Xeomin®, helps to treat frown lines and other facial wrinkles. Unique in that it contains no accessory proteins, Xeomin® is designed to deliver very precise results to the targeted area. This characteristic may reduce the body’s immune response, making it a good option for those suffering from botulinum toxin resistance.
