Botox® & Wrinkle Relaxers

Neurotoxin Treatments: Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®

Neurotoxin injections are a minimally invasive treatment designed to soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—lines created by repeated facial expressions. By relaxing targeted muscles, these treatments can smooth expression lines and help you look more refreshed while maintaining natural movement.

How It Works

Neurotoxins (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®) temporarily reduce muscle activity in specific areas. When the muscle movement is softened, the overlying skin typically appears smoother and lines become less noticeable.

What to Expect

  • Appointment time: Often 15–30 minutes
  • Comfort: Small injections with a fine needle; most patients describe brief, mild discomfort
  • Downtime: Minimal for most patients—many return to normal activities the same day
  • When you’ll see results: Often within a few days, with full results typically developing over ~1–2 weeks
  • How long it lasts: Commonly about 3–4 months (varies by individual and area treated)

Consultation and Treatment Planning

Every face is different. During your consultation, we’ll review your goals, facial anatomy, prior treatment history (if any), and medical considerations. Your provider will recommend the product and dosing strategy that best fits your desired outcome - whether you prefer subtle softening or a more noticeable smoothing effect.

Pre-Treatment Recommendations

  • Timing: Schedule your appointment at least three weeks before any important event.
  • Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment.
  • Skin Cleanliness: Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin for proper assessment and injection planning.
  • Eligibility: Clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not eligible for neurotoxin treatment.

Aftercare Guidelines

To support optimal results, we typically recommend:

  • Avoid applying pressure, massage or touching to treated areas for the rest of the day.
  • Avoid lying flat for several hours after treatment
  • Skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
  • Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours after treatment.
  • Avoid heat exposure (sauna, hot yoga) for 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions and helpful information about this treatment.

  • Will I look “frozen”?

    A natural result is the goal for many patients. Dosing and placement can be customized to preserve expression while softening lines.

  • Is it painful?

    Most patients find it very tolerable. The injections are quick, and discomfort is usually brief.

  • Can I combine neurotoxins with other treatments?

    Often, yes. Many patients pair neurotoxins with dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation (chemical peels, microneedling, lasers), and medical-grade skincare based on goals and timing.

  • Which is better—Botox®, Dysport®, or Xeomin®?

    All can be effective. The best choice depends on your anatomy, treatment area, response history, and desired timing and look. Your provider will recommend the best fit.

  • How soon can I work out?

    We recommend skipping strenuous exercise for 24 hours to reduce the chance of swelling or bruising and to help the product settle as intended.

  • What if I need a touch-up?

    If a touch-up is appropriate, we will guide you on timing (typically after results fully develop). Touch-up needs vary by anatomy and dosing plan.
