Neurotoxin

Say goodbye to those fine lines and wrinkles with Xeomin and Dysport. These are neurotoxins that will relax the muscles in your face, improving the look of moderate to severe wrinkles. Xeomin and Dysport are natural looking, fast-acting, and long-lasting injections.

Pre-Treatment

  • If you have a special event coming up, it may be best to plan your tox treatment at least 2 weeks in advance.
  • Avoid using Retin-A products for 2-3 days before your treatment to avoid excessive redness or irritation.
  • If you have recently had another cosmetic treatment such as laser, ultrasound, chemical peels, or micro-dermabrasion, it is recommended to wait 2 weeks after that treatment to receive any neurotoxin injections.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption 24 hours before your treatment to avoid excessive bruising and swelling.

What to Expect During Treatment

  • After a discussion about your medical history, together we will develop a treatment plan that best suits your needs.
  • The treatment takes about 10-20 minutes
  • You may experience some redness, minor irritation, or bruising after your injection that should quickly resolve on its own

  • Long lasting results up to 5 months

DOS AND DONT’S
FOR AFTERCARE

Do

  • Do repeatedly frown for about one hour post treatment to help the treatment to be more effective in the targeted areas.
  • Do use light pressure in a dabbing motion if you wish to apply moisturizer or a light coat of makeup.
  • While you will see results within 2-3 days, it may take up to 14 days to see the full effect. Please wait 14 days for a touch up after the initial treatment if you receive undesired results.

Don’t

  • Do not lay down for 4-6 hours post treatment to avoid migration of the medication into areas you do not want to be affected.
  • Do not sleep face down the first night after your treatment.
  • Do not receive other types of facial treatments such as microneedling, facials, or facial massage to avoid the spread of the injected medications to unwanted areas.
  • Do not exercise strenuously for 24 hours after a treatment.
  • Do not use Retin-A or similar products for 2 days post treatment to avoid increased redness or irritation.
  • Do not wear tight fitting hats or headbands for the first 24 hours post treatment

Make Your Treatment Last

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure
  • Consider low intensity workouts over high intensity that can metabolize the injection more quickly
  • Reduce your stress levels
  • Moisturize your skin
