Aging is inevitable, but no one wants to embrace the signs of aging. Wrinkles & fine lines on the face and creases around the forehead are a matter of concern for people belonging in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
What is Neurotoxin Treatment? Neurotoxins Treatment has emerged as an easy, safe, and noninvasive way to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Let’s find out about Neurotoxins in detail:
Neurotoxin (Botulinum Toxin) / Xeomin / Dysport/ Daxxify are preferred non-surgical cosmetic treatments used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, creases, fine lines, and many other signs of aging.
Neurotoxin Injection Specialists inject small amounts of Neurotoxin into specific muscles to smooth wrinkles, prevent migraine headaches, backaches, and dimpled chins, and treat many other health conditions.
They work by blocking the nerves that contract muscles, softening the appearance of wrinkles. Depending on the neurotoxin chosen and based on your active lifestyle, the treatments must be repeated every three to six months.
What Conditions Can Be Treated with Neurotoxin Injections?
Neurotoxin Treatment is primarily used to treat wrinkles, facial creases, and other signs of aging. But getting a Neurotoxin can also help treat other conditions, such as:
How Does Neurotoxin Work?
Neurotoxin injections smooth the appearance of wrinkles and creases by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. As a result, the injected muscles can’t contract, thereby relaxing & softening wrinkles.
Aesthetic & Cosmetic Surgeons use various Neurotoxins to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Depending on the neurotoxin chosen and based on your active lifestyle, the treatments must be repeated every three to six months.
What Can I Expect: -
Before The Neurotoxin Procedure
Certain medications, such as anticoagulants or blood thinners, can increase the risk of bruising at the injection site. The healthcare provider may ask the patient for their medical history to get aware of medications and supplements they have taken. Alcohol consumption can cause redness & bruising, so the patients are recommended to avoid alcohol for 24 hours before the procedure.
Though Neurotoxin Treatment for wrinkles is noninvasive & non-surgical, the patients don’t feel pain during the procedure; the surgeon may apply anesthesia to numb the treated area.
During The Neurotoxin Procedure
The number of shots a patient needs depends on the size of the treatment area and other things. A doctor uses a small fine needle to inject small amounts of neurotoxin into the concerned area of the skin or muscles. Getting a Neurotoxin treatment only takes an hour or less.
The patient can return home and return to their daily routine the same day. During the treatment, patients might feel very mild discomfort and soreness.
After the Neurotoxin Procedure
After getting approval from Neurotoxin Injections Specialists, the patient can return to work followed by a few aftercare instructions, including:
When Can I See the Results?
Neurotoxin Injection treatment results can be noticed within 24 to 48 hours. Full results will be visible within 30 days.
How Long Does a Neurotoxin Last?
Since the primary function of Neurotoxin is to reduce the signs of aging by blocking the nerves, the duration of the treatment depends on the size of the treated area, age, and wrinkling.
Depending on the neurotoxin chosen and your active lifestyle, the effects may last three to six months. As muscle slowly returns to the pre-injection state, the lines & wrinkles begin to appear and must be treated again. Therefore, it is recommended for follow-up injections.
Are There Any Side Effects of Neurotoxin Treatments?
Neurotoxin Treatment for wrinkles is safe and FDA-approved when treated under an expert & skilled healthcare provider, but it has a few but rare possible side effects, including:
Who Should Not Get Neurotoxin?
People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or suffering from a neurological disease aren’t recommended for Neurotoxin treatment. Additionally, those with Neuromuscular disease, drooping eyelids, or weak facial muscles shouldn’t go for Neurotoxin Injection Treatment.
When Should I Call My Healthcare Provider?
Neurotoxin is a safe & noninvasive procedure. However, patients can notice a few side effects and must call Neurotoxin Injections Specialists if they experience the symptoms described above.
If an individual takes botulinum toxin injections, they are recommended to undergo treatment every 3 to 6 months to get optimal results.
