Let's Tox About It

Neurotoxins, like Botox and Xeomin, are injectable treatments that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. They work by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles, which prevents those muscles from contracting. This helps smooth out wrinkles, particularly in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, giving you a more youthful and relaxed appearance.

Most people find neurotoxin injections to be relatively quick and minimally uncomfortable. You may feel a slight pinch or a small sting as the needle is injected, but the discomfort is generally brief. If you're concerned about pain, we can apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to ensure your comfort. The injections typically take just a few minutes to complete.

After your neurotoxin treatment, you may start seeing results within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible in about 10 to 14 days. The results typically last 3-4 months, depending on your body’s response to the treatment and the area being treated. Regular maintenance treatments are usually required to keep the results looking fresh.

Side effects from neurotoxin injections are generally rare and mild. Some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few hours to a few days. In very rare cases, clients may experience a mild headache or eyelid drooping, but these side effects are temporary and subside as the treatment wears off. Our skilled professionals take great care to ensure your treatment is safe and effective.

It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive rubbing, or massaging of the treated areas for 24 hours to ensure optimal results. Please avoid lying down for at least 4 hours after your treatment. You may resume most daily activities right away; however, we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and heavy makeup for the first few hours.
