What Are Neurotoxins?
Injectable neurotoxins, comprised of botulinum toxin type A, have been used to improve the appearance of dynamic wrinkles for over two decades. Neurotoxins, like Botox®, inhibit nerve signals to muscles, preventing repetitive muscle contractions and facial expressions that cause frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead furrows, and other minor facial lines and wrinkles. By inhibiting muscle contractions, neurotoxins temporarily relax the underlying muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more rejuvenated appearance of the skin.
Younger individuals can enjoy the benefits of injectable neurotoxin treatments, too. While dynamic wrinkles are initially only visible during facial movements, over time, they can become more noticeable even without movement. As a prejuvenation treatment, neurotoxins can help individuals in their 20s or 30s maintain their appearance and prevent lines and wrinkles from ever even forming. .
With minimal discomfort and no downtime, neurotoxins create a smoother, younger-looking appearance by reducing the appearance of:
- Frown lines, or the 11s
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead lines
- Neck bands
- Lines around the lips
- Smile lines
- Bunny lines
How Neurotoxins can be Used for Lip Flip?
Neuromodulators can be used for a treatment known as the “lip flip.” This procedure targets the muscles in the upper lip and corners of the mouth. By relaxing these muscles, the lip flip allows the lips to curl outward, resulting in a fuller appearance without dermal fillers. The lip flip delivers results that last 3 to 6 months.
What Complementary Procedures Can Be Combined with Neurotoxins?
While neuromodulators are an effective standalone procedure, they are often included in a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan to achieve a polished look. Dr. Farber will only combine procedures she knows can be performed safely and will deliver the best result. She often combines neurotoxins with other non-surgical treatments like dermal fillers, laser treatments, or chemical peels, or surgical facial rejuvenation treatments like a facelift, neck lift, eyelid lift, or brow lift that will help you achieve your ideal appearance.
What Neuromodulator Options Are Available in Alpharetta?
At Stephanie Farber Plastic Surgery, we offer multiple neuromodulator formulas, ensuring we can help our patients achieve the best possible results.
Botox
Though there are many options available today, Botox® was the first neurotoxin approved for cosmetic use. Made from purified botulinum toxin type A, Botox® works by blocking nerve signals to muscles. When injected into specific muscles, Botox prevents movements that cause fine lines and dynamic wrinkles for 3 to 5 months.
Daxxify
Daxxify® is the latest development in neurotoxins, featuring a distinct botulinum toxin formulation that utilizes a novel peptide as a stabilizer instead of human or animal byproducts. It produces effects similar to Botox®, with results typically lasting around 6 months. Some patients see Daxxify’s effects for up to 9 months. With extended results, fewer treatments are necessary to maintain the desired appearance.
Dysport
Dysport® functions similarly to Botox®, relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth the skin. However, Dysport® shows results more quickly than Botox®, typically within three to five days compared to one week for Botox®. Additionally, Dysport® injections can cover a larger area, potentially reducing the number of injections needed. Jeuveau®
Jeuveau
Jeuveau® is one of the latest neuromodulators. It contains the same active ingredients, but it has smaller added proteins that may enhance absorption, allowing patients to observe results more quickly. Jeuveau® provides visible results within a few days and lasts 3 to 4 months.
