What are neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily relax specific facial muscles. When certain muscles are relaxed, the overlying skin appears smoother, which can help soften the look of lines and wrinkles. 

These treatments are commonly used in areas where repeated facial movements create expression lines over time, like around your eyes, forehead, and between your brows. 

If you’re looking for a nonsurgical way to refresh your appearance, neurotoxins may be a good option for you.

What issues can neurotoxins address?

Neurotoxins can help improve a variety of common concerns caused by facial movement and muscle activity. If you’re wondering if they’re right for you, here are some of the concerns they can target:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between your eyebrows
• Crow’s feet around your eyes
• Bunny lines on the nose
• Downturned corners of your mouth
• Neck bands

These treatments can also be used for other medical concerns, depending on your needs. After reviewing your goals, your La Vida Veloa provider can help determine if neurotoxins are the right choice for you and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

What can I expect when getting neurotoxins?

When you come in for treatment, your visit is typically quick and straightforward. Your provider reviews your goals, evaluates the areas you’d like to treat, and answers any questions you may have. 

The injections are usually well tolerated, with most appointments taking just a few minutes. You may notice small injection sites right after treatment, but these typically fade quickly, allowing you to get back to your day with minimal downtime.

How long will my neurotoxin results last?

Results from neurotoxins aren’t permanent, and they gradually wear off as muscle activity returns. You can generally expect results to last 3-4 months, though this can vary based on your metabolism, treatment area, and how your body responds. 

With regular treatments, you may notice that results become more consistent over time. Staying on a regular schedule can also help maintain your desired look.
