Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins, such as Botox, temporarily make moderate to severe lines look better. It delivers predictable, subtle results, so you look like you, only with less noticeable facial lines.

We currently offer Botox, Dysport and Daxxify.

Common treatment areas:
Glabella "11's", Forehead, CrowsFeet, Bunny Lines, Jelly Roll, Masseter's, DAO's, Chin, Lip Flip, Gummy Smile, Jawline, Platysmal Bands, Shoulders and Under Arms for perspiration.


Lip Flip
A lip flip is an injectable treatment that uses neurotoxin to slightly curl the upper lip upward, creating a fuller appearance without adding volume. To achieve this, a small amount of BOTOX, Dysport, or other neuromodulator — typically around four to six units — is injected along the upper lip. This relaxes the targeted muscles in this area, allowing for a subtle upward flip of the upper lip. It can take a few days for your lip flip results to become visible and up to two to three weeks to see your final outcome.

Masseters
Masseter Botox refers to injecting neurotoxin in the masseter muscles (the muscles responsible for jaw movement) to achieve several aesthetic and functional benefits such as facial slimming, teeth grinding and TMJ relief typically lasting three to six. months.

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes excessive sweating in certain areas of the body, such as the underarms, palms of hands, and soles of feet. Neurotoxin injections treat hyperhidrosis by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production, resulting in a significant reduction in excessive sweating. It takes three to four days for the results of Botox injections for hyperhidrosis to become evident and can last up to six months for some.


​​​​​​​Daxxify

Daxxify, a newer “tox” on the market, is revolutionizing the field of anti-wrinkle treatments with its longer-lasting effects. Unlike other neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, which typically last up to four months, Daxxify boasts an average duration of six months with proper dosing that can be discussed with your provider.


What else sets Daxxify apart from the others is that it is formulated with a peptide as the stabilizer. By contrast, others such as Botox and Dysport contain proteins as the stabilizing ingredient. This means that Daxxi does not require any skin testing for allergies, and should be a good alternative for patients who feel that Dysport and Botox are not as effective as they used to be.

Daxxify has the quickest onset of all neuromodulators, with an onset in as little as hours after treatment. It operates by blocking the communication between nerves and muscles, and has been approved as safe and effective by the FDA. This sequence causes muscle relaxation, leading to the temporary paralysis and relaxation of muscles, effectively preventing the creation and worsening of lines and wrinkles. With its unique peptide exchange technology and quick onset, Daxxify is setting a new standard in the realm of aesthetic treatments.
