Getting rid of facial wrinkles and other imperfections with neurotoxin skin treatments
At The L.A.B. Med Spa of Dallas and Southlake, Texas, we understand that many of our patients are looking for ways to get rid of facial wrinkles and folds that come with the natural process of aging. Fortunately, our team is here to help with various skin treatments for wrinkles and fine lines. This includes our popular neurotoxins.
What is a neurotoxin?
Our team describes a neurotoxin as a cosmetic injectable treatment that is used to relax muscles and reduce the depth of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. These products work by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting and creating wrinkles.
How does it work?
When a neurotoxin, like the brands Botox or Dysport, is injected into the targeted area, it interrupts the communication between the nerves and muscles. This causes temporary paralysis of the muscle, preventing it from moving and causing wrinkles to form. As a result, the skin appears smoother and more youthful.
Why might I consider neurotoxin injections over plastic surgery?
Below are seven reasons why our patients love neurotoxins as a surgical alternative:
- Non-invasive. Neurotoxins are injected into the skin, making it a non-surgical and less invasive option compared to traditional plastic surgery procedures. This means less risk, faster recovery time, and no scarring.
- Quick results. Unlike surgical procedures that may take weeks or months to see results, neurotoxins start working within just a few days and reach full effect in about two weeks.
- Customizable treatments. Each treatment can be tailored to target specific areas of concern on the face, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead wrinkles. This allows for a much more personalized approach to achieving your desired results.
- Cost-effective. Neurotoxin injections are a more affordable option compared to surgical procedures, making them more accessible to a wider range of patients.
- Minimal discomfort. The injections are relatively painless and only require a small needle prick. Most patients describe this sensation as a slight pinch or pressure.
- Non-invasive. As there is no need for incisions or anesthesia, neurotoxin injections are considered non-invasive and have little to no downtime.
- Long-lasting results. While the effects of neurotoxins are not permanent, they typically last three to four months before touch-up treatments are needed.
