You might be asking, what are neurotoxins? We’ve got you covered –

Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is a popular cosmetic treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles. Dysport, Jeuveau and Xeomin are just a few other brands of Botulinum Toxin that accomplish the same effect. We carry 4 options at Emerald, this allows us to cater our treatment to individual needs of our patients. All of these treatments work by temporarily blocking nerve signals in the muscles, leading to a smoother, more youthful complexion. Many people start out by exploring neurotoxin treatments as their first step into the aesthetic treatment world.

Neurotoxins across the board are commonly used to target dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. It can also be employed to address issues like bunny lines, neck bands, and even provide a subtle eyebrow lift.

While most commonly used for cosmetic purposes, neurotoxins can also treat chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis (sweating), and other medical conditions.

Of course, these medications are safe to use, but like everything they can have some side effects that you should be aware of. Some patients have minor bruising or redness immediately after treatment, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours. More serious complications are very rare and will be discussed with you by our experienced providers during your visit.

Neurotoxin results are temporary, typically lasting anywhere from three to six months. Regular maintenance sessions can extend the longevity of the effects, providing a consistently refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Often times Neurotoxins will be used in combination with various aesthetic treatments, such as dermal fillers or skin rejuvenation procedures, to achieve a comprehensive and harmonious enhancement.
