What Are Some Injectable Neurotoxins?
Botulinum toxin Type A is an injectable neurotoxin that is more commonly known under popular brand names such as Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Jueveau, and Xeomin. At Advanced Wellness Aesthetics, we offer Botox, Dysport, as well as Jueveau. Neurotoxin treatments are most often used to reduce the appearance of and smooth wrinkles and fine lines that are caused by facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, squinting, etc.
These treatments work by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, which causes them to relax and temporarily paralyzes the muscles for cosmetic effect. They are injected into the muscles underlying the affected areas, where this lack of muscle contraction prevents the face from forming lines and wrinkles. The botulinum toxin is the same toxin that causes botulism. When used correctly and in very small doses, doctors are able to use botox to reduce wrinkles by interfering with the nerve signaling processes that cause muscle contraction.
Benefits of Injectable Neurotoxins
​Neurotoxin injectables are a popular option for both men and women who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and achieve a more youthful look. By temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, this results in a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance. In addition to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, these injectables can also be used to correct a number of other aesthetic concerns such as:
