Neurotoxin (Botox/Dysport)

As we age, one of the first signs that becomes noticeable is the development of fine lines, especially between the brows, on the forehead, and around the eyes. These lines can easily be addressed with neurotoxin injections such as Botox or Dysport, which work by relaxing the muscles and smoothing the skin, ultimately creating a refreshed and more youthful appearance. There are several neurotoxin options available, and our office offers the most popular choices. While Botox is a widely recognized name, our providers will help you determine which product is best suited to your specific needs and goals.

Neurotoxin injections are commonly used to target moderate to severe wrinkles across the forehead, between the eyebrows (those stubborn “11” lines), and around the eyes (commonly known as crow’s feet). The treatment can also address other concerns such as dimpling along the chin, lines around the mouth, and even help relieve jaw clenching. With precise application, this beauty-enhancing procedure provides significant improvements that can last for months.

The entire process is non-surgical, requires minimal discomfort, and typically takes only about 10 minutes. There is no downtime, so you can quickly return to your day-to-day activities. Best of all, the results can last anywhere from 3 to 4 months, depending on your treatment and the number of units injected. Our skilled skincare specialists will work with you to adjust the treatment to ensure the best possible results tailored to your unique needs and desired outcome.
