What is neurotoxin treatment?
Q What is neurotoxin treatment?
Neurotoxin is a treatment used cosmetically to improve the appearance of
moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles temporarily. Botox is a
neurotoxin, botulinum toxin, derived from a bacterium known as
Clostridium botulinum. When injected, this toxin temporarily inhibits
underlying muscles from contracting and reduces the appearance of crow's
feet and frown lines.
Neurotoxins are approved for cosmetic use in 78 countries due to the safety and quality of the product.
BOTOX Cosmetic has many uses. While Botox (and similar products such as Xeomin, Dysport and Juveau) are commonly used to rejuvenate facial features, they are also used to treat muscle spasms, stiffness, and excessive sweating.
These medications provide a 3-4 month result and treatment should be repeated at various intervals to maintain the result or effect. Botox injections work by blocking muscular nerve signals. This in turn decreases excessive muscle contraction in specific facial areas and results in a more relaxed, youthful look. Patients most benefit from this when treating wrinkles and creases, whether from aging or other causes.
These can form from practically any facial movement, including frowning, squinting, raising eyebrows, and even smiling, but the severity of the wrinkle will vary from person to person. By utilizing botulinum injections, patients can address these with minimal invasiveness and vastly improve their appearance.
Choosing the Best Injector In Atlanta
Q Choosing the Best Injector In Atlanta
Botox and fillers are becoming an increasingly popular way to improve
your appearance and look younger without going under the knife. While
you know Botox is a minimally invasive procedure, choosing an
unqualified person to perform your injections could lead to major
problems - from uneven, lumpy-looking skin to droopy eyebrows.
One of the most popular cosmetic treatments performed around the world is Botox for its amazing results. Unfortunately, this household name treatment has a lot of misconceptions surrounding it. Botox is able to provide patients with a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance when injected by a qualified professional using the right techniques. In this article, we will bust a few of the most common myths surrounding Botox treatments.
What can you expect?
Q What can you expect?
A doctor usually performs neurotoxin injections in the doctor's office or a
clinic. Your appointment should last less than 15 minutes. Your doctor
may use a cold pack or anesthetic cream to numb the areas to be
injected.
A tiny needle will be used to inject the neurotoxin into the muscles that
cause lines and wrinkles. The number of injections you receive will
depend on the severity of your wrinkles and their location on your face.
There is no recovery time with neurotoxin injections. You can return to
your normal activities right away. Avoid rubbing the areas that were
injected as it could cause the botulinum toxin to migrate to other areas
of your face, causing temporary facial weakness or drooping.
Slight bruising may occur at the injection sites. Most people see results within a few days, but it may take up to a week to see the full effect. Neurotoxin usually lasts about three to four months. More injections are necessary to maintain your results.
How does neurotoxin work?
Q How does neurotoxin work?
Neurotoxin is effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine
lines because it aims to treat the underlying cause, the
repetitive
contraction of the facial muscles (eg. frowning or squinting).
Neurotoxin will be injected into these muscles causing movement to be
temporarily
inhibited.
This is because neurotoxin stops nerve signals from getting
to the muscles. When making a facial expression, nerves release a
neurotransmitter to the muscles.
This neurotransmitter causes the muscle to contract by attaching to the receptors on the muscle's cells. The toxin prevents the neurotransmitter from being released, therefore preventing the muscle from contracting. Stopping muscle contractions will reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Will my results look artificial?
Q Will my results look artificial?
This is a very common question when talking about neurotoxin injections.
As long as you have the neurotoxin injections done at a reputable practice,
you should not look artificial or frozen in any way. Proper techniques
must be practiced when providing this treatment and that is why it is
important to seek the care of a licensed and trained specialist.
When done correctly, it is impossible to tell that any work has been
done and the patient is still able to show expression on their face. The
only thing people should notice about your face is that you look
younger and more refreshed.
The key to a successful neurotoxin treatment is a qualified and skilled professional that tailors their technique to each patient's unique facial features.

Xeomin
WHAT IS XEOMIN®?
Xeomin is PURE for a reason and the reason is you. Xeomin® is a smart toxin with a double-filtered formula that removes unnecessary proteins, so you get only what's needed for smoother frown lines, treatment after treatment. FDA Approved And Clinically Proven Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines. Neurotoxins, such as Xeomin®, are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.
HOW DOES XEOMIN® WORK?
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A - the active ingredient in Xeomin®- acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Xeomin® can temporarily reduce the lines between your eyebrows.
IS XEOMIN® PROVEN?
Xeomin® was proven effective in two randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled clinical trials of 547 healthy, adult patients. The average age of patients in the study was 46 years. Patients received 20 Units of Xeomin® and were classified as responders if they had a 2-grade improvement on a 4-point scale as assessed by the physician and patient. Using these criteria, treatment success was higher with Xeomin® than placebo on Day 30 in both studies (60% and 48% vs. 0% for placebo in both studies). Based on these trials, Xeomin® received FDA approval for use in glabellar lines in 2011.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING TREATMENT?
During treatment, which usually takes about 10-20 minutes, our team will inject Xeomin® into the muscles in your forehead that cause frown lines between your eyebrows. No anesthesia is required; however, we may use a topical anesthetic or cold pack to reduce any discomfort.
HOW DO I KNOW IF XEOMIN® IS RIGHT FOR ME?
If you are an adult with moderate to severe glabellar lines, Xeomin® may be right for you. Talk to our team to discuss the benefits and risks of treatment. Do not use Xeomin® if you are allergic to botulinum toxin or any of the other ingredients in Xeomin®. You should also not use Xeomin® if you have had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.

Sixty-eight percent and seventy percent of Jeuveau® patients, respectively, showed a two-grade or more improvement in frown lines at Day 30 according to physician and patient ratings in studies conducted in the United States.
