What is Neurotoxin?
Neurotoxin in Flower Mound/Dallas, TX, also known as botulinum toxin, is a purified protein that is injected into specific muscles. It works by temporarily relaxing these muscles, preventing the repetitive movements that cause wrinkles and creases to form in the skin. This results in a smoother, more youthful complexion.
While neurotoxin can dramatically soften existing lines, it's important to understand that it doesn't erase wrinkles that have become deeply etched into the skin. Think of it as a preventative measure: neurotoxin excels at preventing those lines from deepening and new wrinkles from forming. By starting treatments early and maintaining them regularly, you can effectively preserve your youthful appearance and delay the formation of wrinkles.
A Versatile Treatment
Where Can Neurotoxin Be Used?
Neurotoxin is a versatile treatment with a wide range of applications. Cosmetically, it can be used to address everything from forehead lines and frown lines (those pesky "11s" between the eyebrows) to crow's feet and a "gummy smile." It can even create a subtle lip flip or provide a non-surgical brow lift for a more refreshed and youthful look. Beyond the face, neurotoxin can be used to define the jawline with a Nefertiti lift, smooth out bunny lines on the nose, and even reduce chin dimpling.
The benefits of neurotoxin extend beyond cosmetic concerns. It's also an effective treatment for medical conditions such as chronic migraines, teeth grinding (bruxism), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ).
Types of Neurotoxin
At ROOT Med Spa in Flower Mound/Dallas, TX, we offer Botox® and Daxxify® :
Botox® smooths wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles.
Daxxify® is a more advanced neurotoxin and is a good alternative for those who may have developed Botox® resistance.
Ensure Optimal Results
Neurotoxin Pre/Post Care Instructions
To ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects, it's important to follow these guidelines before and after your neurotoxin treatment:
Before Your Appointment:
- In the week leading up to your appointment, avoid blood-thinning medications like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Aleve, as well as supplements like Vitamin E and Fish Oil. This will help reduce the chance of bruising. Always consult your doctor before discontinuing any prescribed medications.
- Limit alcohol consumption for 48-72 hours before your treatment to further minimize bruising.
- Consider taking Bromelain and Arnica tablets 7-10 days before your appointment, as these can help reduce bruising.
- It's crucial to inform your provider about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or previous cosmetic treatments you've had, especially any history of adverse reactions to injections.
- If you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment, you will need to wait until you have been in remission for at least 6 months before receiving neurotoxin injections.
After Your Treatment:
- Make sure to sit upright for 4 hours following injections.
- For the first 24 hours after your injections, avoid strenuous exercise and refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas.
- While bruising is generally uncommon, it can occur and typically resolves within 14 days.
- It takes about 14 days for the full effects to become visible, although you may notice some initial improvement within a few days.
- Avoid applying makeup for 24 hours after your treatment, unless it is mineral-based.
- You can wash your face as usual, but avoid using facial cleansing brushes for the first 24 hours.
Preventative, Long-Lasting Care
Botox and Dysport are the two most popular brands of neurotoxin. Although they are derived from the same protein, there are subtle differences. Dysport tends to work a bit faster, but both are highly effective.
Neurotoxins work by blocking the communication between nerves and muscles, temporarily preventing the muscle from contracting. This is what smooths out wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.
Neurotoxin is most effective as a preventative measure. The earlier you start, the better you can prevent the formation of static wrinkles—those wrinkles that are visible even when your face is at rest.
On average, results last around 3 months, but this can vary from person to person depending on factors like metabolism and lifestyle. With consistent treatments, you may find that the results last longer, and you'll need fewer appointments to maintain your desired look.
How Do Neurotoxins Work?
Neurotoxins work by interrupting the signals that tell your muscles to contract. This is achieved by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that acts as a messenger between nerves and muscles. When injected into a muscle, neurotoxin prevents this signal from reaching the muscle, causing it to relax. This relaxation, in turn, smooths out the overlying skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The effects of neurotoxin are temporary because your body gradually regenerates new nerve endings, and muscle function returns over time.
When Should You Start Receiving Neurotoxin?
There's no magic age to start neurotoxin treatments. The best time to begin is when you first start noticing dynamic wrinkles, which are the wrinkles that appear when you make facial expressions. By starting early, you can prevent these wrinkles from becoming static wrinkles, which are visible even when your face is at rest.
