Rejuvenate Your Look with Neurotoxin Treatments at Refresh Medspa

Neurotoxin treatments are popular nonsurgical options for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all FDA-approved neurotoxins that relax facial muscles to create a smoother, more youthful look. Discover how these treatments can help you achieve a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

What Are Neurotoxin Treatments?

Neurotoxin treatments involve the injection of botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles to temporarily reduce muscle activity. This reduction in muscle activity smooths out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. These treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and require no downtime. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are the most commonly used neurotoxins:

Botox: Renowned for its effectiveness and safety, Botox is a top choice for wrinkle reduction. It provides consistent and reliable results, making it ideal for treating fine lines and wrinkles.
Dysport: Known for its quick onset and natural-looking results, Dysport spreads more evenly across the treated area. This makes it particularly effective for larger areas like the forehead.
Xeomin: A purer form of botulinum toxin, Xeomin is free from additional proteins. This reduces the risk of developing resistance and ensures smooth, natural results.

How Do Neurotoxin Treatments Work?

Neurotoxin treatments begin with a consultation, during which your provider will assess your facial anatomy, areas of concern, and desired outcomes. This helps determine which neurotoxin is best suited for your needs and ensures that your treatment plan is customized to your unique aesthetic goals.

Botox: Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles, reducing muscle activity that causes wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
Dysport: Dysport works by relaxing specific facial muscles, especially those responsible for frown lines, allowing the skin to smooth out and reduce the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles.
Xeomin: Xeomin works by targeting muscle contractions, like other neurotoxins, but without the added proteins, making it a purer form of treatment for smoothing wrinkles in areas such as between the eyebrows.

During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject the neurotoxin into the targeted muscles. The entire procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. There is little to no downtime following neurotoxin treatments, and most patients experience only mild redness or swelling at the injection sites. You’ll begin to see results within a few days, with full effects becoming visible after about two weeks. The results typically last three to four months, at which point you can schedule follow-up treatments to maintain your youthful appearance.

Am I a Candidate for Neurotoxin Treatments?

If you have mild to moderate facial wrinkles—especially in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes—neurotoxins may be a great option for you.

Candidates for neurotoxin treatments should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. Individuals with neuromuscular disorders, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those who are allergic to any of the ingredients used in neurotoxins should avoid this treatment. A consultation with Refresh Medspa is essential to determine whether neurotoxin treatments are right for you.

How to Prepare for Neurotoxin Treatments

To ensure the best outcome from your neurotoxin treatment at Refresh Medspa, a few preparation steps are recommended. About a week before your treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and supplements such as fish oil or vitamin E, as these can increase the risk of bruising. It’s also helpful to refrain from alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to support faster healing. Arrive with a clean face free of makeup, lotions, or skincare products to ensure a smooth and sterile treatment process. Additionally, inform your provider of any recent cosmetic procedures or medical conditions. These simple preparations will enhance your neurotoxin treatment experience, helping you achieve natural-looking, beautiful results.
