Neurotoxins

Glo Medspa is in the top 1% of injectors in the NATION!

Have you been struggling to adjust to recent signs of aging on the face? Luckily, there are options to help reduce the appearance of these fine lines and wrinkles. One of the most tried and true among these youth-restoring treatments is neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin.

What are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are a type of cosmetic injectable made up of a purified protein produced by the clostridium botulinum bacterium. The product is injected into the skin and muscles using a fine gauge needle and works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, thereby preventing muscle contraction. It’s the contracting of these muscles that can cause signs of aging like frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead lines. Neurotoxins can help to reduce, prevent, and treat these wrinkles.

Benefits of Neurotoxins

FDA-approved Injectable neurotoxins can treat signs of aging, restore youth, as well as improve the symptoms of other medical conditions. These can include:

  •       Facial lines and wrinkles
  •       Turning the lip up (Lip Flip)
  •       Migraines
  •       Neck spasms
  •       Excessive sweating
  •       Overactive bladder
  •       Lazy eye
  •       Masseter Slimming at Jawline
  •       Relax protruding neckbands

Neurotoxins are also great because they are fast-acting, showing results in only 3-14 days. They are compatible with all skin types and can be used in conjunction with other treatments.

Am I a Candidate for Neurotoxins?

Anyone looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on their face should seek treatment in the form of neurotoxins. Those with an allergy to botulinum toxin A are not candidates for neurotoxin injections as they can cause a severe reaction. Those who are pregnant are also advised not to receive neurotoxin injections.

Cost of Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin

The cost of your neurotoxin treatment will depend on the product you choose to have injected. It will also depend on the treatment areas and how many units are required for the treatment area. Below is a breakdown of the costs:

  •       Botox/Xeomin – $13.50 per unit.
  •       Dysport – $4.25 per unit.

Results and Recovery

It will take around 1-2 weeks for the full results of your Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport treatment to show. In the first 5-6 hours after recovery, you are advised not to engage in any strenuous activity, nor should you lay directly on the treatment site as this can cause the product to shift to unwanted areas. Slight swelling and tenderness may occur, but this will go down after about a day.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles that appear when you use your facial muscles beneath the skin to make a facial expression.  They are sometimes called “static” lines because they have already formed on the forehead.

After years of squinting, laughing, and worrying, the skin around your eyes and forehead develop deep lines and wrinkles. Expression lines may often make you look old or tired. These dynamic wrinkles deepen with age and often create a terse, stressed appearance.

Neurotoxins such as Botox® and Dysport ® injections relax select muscles in your face and limit their ability to contract.

By treating these areas your wrinkles can be significantly reduced.

  • Frown Lines (sometimes referred to as 11″s.
  • Forehead lines (Horizontal lines on the forehead)
  • Glabellar lines (Brow furrow lines between the eyebrows)
  • Lateral canthal lines (Crow’s feet)
  • Bunny lines around the nasal area
  • Strong lines around the mouth and chin

With regular maintenance, a neurotoxin can prevent wrinkles caused by muscle movements from forming or deepening.

Providers use special antiseptic procedures to make sure you do not have any makeup on. During the injection, you may experience slight pain or stinging sensations at the injection site.

You will not see the full effect of your Botox, Dysport or  Xeomin treatment until 1-2 weeks after treatment.
