Neurotoxin Treatments
(Botox, Dysport, Xeomin)
What is it?
Neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectables that temporarily relax muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
How It Works
These neurotoxins work by blocking nerve signals in the targeted muscles, preventing muscle contractions that cause wrinkles. This results in smoother skin and prevents deeper wrinkle formation over time.
What It Helps Treat
-
Forehead wrinkles & frown lines
-
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
-
Bunny lines (wrinkles on the nose)
-
Gummy smile & smile flip (adjusts excessive gum show and lip position)

-
Barbie Tox (Trapezius Botox) (slims the neck and shoulders for a feminine look)
What It's Made Of
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all botulinum toxin type A proteins.
Dysport has a smaller molecular size, spreading slightly more, ideal for larger areas.
Xeomin is a “naked” neurotoxin without additives, reducing the risk of resistance.
The Process
step one
A numbing cream may be applied if desired.
step two
The provider injects small amounts of neurotoxin into the targeted muscles.
step three
The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes.
step four
There is minimal downtime; slight redness or swelling may occur but subsides within a few hours.
