Neurotoxins are cosmetic injectables that temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They contain a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A, the same protein produced by the bacterium that causes botulism. Neurotoxins target deep lines and furrows caused by repeated muscle contractions. At Charlotte Medical Aesthetics, we offer a range of options, including:
- Xeomin®
- BOTOX® Cosmetic
- Dysport®
- Daxxify®
Areas Treated
Neurotoxins are effective for reducing moderately severe lines and furrows in the following areas:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Neck bands
Procedure and Results
Using a fine needle, the neurotoxin is injected directly into the muscles responsible for wrinkles. Anesthetic is typically not required, though some providers may use ice or a topical numbing cream for comfort.
Results usually appear within a few days and last up to four months, with longer-lasting effects in areas treated regularly. During your consultation, we will determine the best neurotoxin for your needs and outline the results you can expect.
