Neurotoxin
If you’d like to smooth away wrinkles — without surgery — neurotoxin injections can temporarily intercept brain signals that cause your facial muscles to move. As a result, your muscles can’t contract as much, giving your face a more youthful appearance. At Nexclin Medicine serving Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, Atlanta, GA, and the surrounding areas, triple board-certified physician Naima Cheema, MD, and her team offer a full selection of leading neurotoxin injections. To schedule a consultation to see if neurotoxin injections are right for you, call Nexclin Medicine or request one online today.
What are neurotoxin injections?
You may have heard of popular brands like Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport. These are FDA-approved cosmetic injectables used to smooth away facial lines.
These injectables are known as “neuromodulators.” This means their chief ingredient is a highly purified form of botulinum toxin that affects signals between your brain and muscles.
How do neurotoxin injections work?
When your provider at Nexclin Medicine injects the highly purified botulinum toxin solution, it quickly blocks signals from your brain to your facial muscles. This temporarily halts muscle activity — but only in the muscles injected with neurotoxin filler.
Once the muscles stop contracting, your skin relaxes, making lines and wrinkles melt away. The result is a more rested, youthful-looking facial appearance.
What do neurotoxin injections treat?
Nexclin Medicine offers neurotoxin injections to smooth the appearance of:
- Lines between your brows
- Crow's feet
- Forehead wrinkles
The treatment is fast-acting and requires no downtime.
What happens when I get neurotoxin injections?
You and your provider at Nexclin Medicine discuss your treatment areas and desired results. They apply a numbing cream to make the injections more comfortable.
When your injections start, the needle might sting a bit. Your provider may ask you to frown or squint as you get neurotoxin fillers. Doing so helps pinpoint the muscles that need treatment.
Injections of neurotoxin filler usually take just 10 minutes. Your provider may suggest a series of injections to achieve optimal results. The entire process is quick enough to squeeze in over your lunch hour.
How long do neurotoxin injections last?
Your results typically last for 3-6 months, though individual results can vary. Because neurotoxin filler isn’t permanent, you can expect your lines and wrinkles to return over time unless you regularly update your injections at Nexclin Medicine.
Talk to your provider at Nexclin Medicine about an appropriate schedule of maintenance injections of neurotoxin to preserve the smooth-looking appearance of your face.
