What are neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are injectable aesthetic treatments that temporarily relax specific facial muscles responsible for creating expression lines and wrinkles.

Everyday facial movements like smiling, squinting, frowning, and raising your eyebrows cause the muscles beneath your skin to contract. Over time, repeated movement can contribute to lines that become noticeable even when your face is at rest.

Neurotoxin injections reduce targeted muscle activity, allowing the skin above those muscles to appear smoother while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.

What can neurotoxin injections treat?

Neurotoxins are commonly used to soften dynamic wrinkles, or lines caused by repeated facial expressions. Treatment may improve the appearance of:

• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Other expression lines around the face

During your consultation, Elena evaluates your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and areas of concern to determine where injections may provide the most natural-looking improvement.

What happens during a neurotoxin appointment?

Your appointment begins with a consultation to discuss what you’d like to improve and the type of result you’re hoping to achieve. Elena reviews your medical history and evaluates your facial expressions and muscle movement before developing your treatment plan.

She then administers small amounts of neurotoxin into carefully selected muscles using a fine needle. Treatment is typically quick, and most people can return to their usual activities shortly afterward.

Elena provides aftercare instructions and lets you know what to expect as your results develop.

When will I see results from neurotoxin treatment?

Neurotoxins don’t typically produce their full effects immediately. You may begin noticing changes within several days, with results continuing to develop over the following days.

The effects are temporary and gradually wear off as normal muscle activity returns. How long your results last can vary depending on the treatment area, product used, dosage, metabolism, and other individual factors.

How can I keep my neurotoxin results looking natural?

Natural-looking neurotoxin treatment starts with a personalized approach. Rather than eliminating facial movement altogether, Elena considers your facial structure, muscle activity, and aesthetic preferences when determining your treatment.

Regular follow-up visits can also help maintain your results over time. Elena can evaluate how you responded to your previous treatment and adjust future injections when appropriate.
