What Are Neurotoxins and How Do They Work for Facial Treatments in Southlake, TX? Your Top FAQs
If you’re looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and achieve smoother, more youthful skin, neurotoxin treatments like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Dysport, Letybo and Jeuveau might be the answer. At The L.A.B Med Spa in Southlake, TX, we’re here to answer your top questions about how neurotoxins work for facial rejuvenation. Whether new to these treatments or considering your next visit, here’s everything you need to know.
What Are Neurotoxins?
Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Common neurotoxins include Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxify, Letybo and Jeuveau. They block nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, leading to fewer wrinkles and a more refreshed, youthful appearance. Neurotoxins are ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and smiling.
How Do Neurotoxins Work for Facial Wrinkles?
When injected, neurotoxins prevent the muscles responsible for facial expressions from contracting. With these muscles relaxed, the overlying skin becomes smoother, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet) are the most often treated areas. The result is a more youthful, rejuvenated look that can last for months.
What Areas of the Face Can Be Treated with Neurotoxins?
Neurotoxins are primarily used to treat wrinkles in the upper face. Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Lip lines
- Chin dimpling
Neurotoxins can also help with medical conditions like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and jaw tension from teeth grinding.
How Long Do Neurotoxin Results Last?
Results from neurotoxin injections typically last three to six months. Over time, the treated muscles gradually regain their function, and wrinkles may begin to return. However, with regular treatments, many patients experience longer-lasting results as the muscles adapt to relaxation.
Are Neurotoxin Injections Safe?
Yes, neurotoxin injections are safe when performed by a qualified professional. These treatments have been used for over twenty years, with millions benefiting. At The L.A.B Med Spa, we ensure your safety by tailoring each treatment to your needs. Our experienced professionals provide the procedure that is effective and safe for you.
What Can I Expect During and After the Treatment?
Neurotoxin injections are quick and minimally invasive, typically taking just ten to fifteen minutes per treatment area. The procedure is relatively painless, with most patients feeling only a mild pinch. After the treatment, you might experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this usually fades within a few hours. You can resume most of your normal activities immediately, though avoiding strenuous exercise for the first twenty-four hours is advised.
