Neurotoxin Wrinkle Treatment Specialist Q&A
Neurotoxin wrinkle treatments like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are non-invasive cosmetic procedures that temporarily relax facial muscles and smooth wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses to specific muscles. They are FDA-approved and offer subtle to dramatic improvements without surgery or downtime. If you’re experiencing lines and wrinkles on your face due to aging, you might be considering neurotoxin wrinkle treatments. At Aspire Medical Aesthetics, Eugene J. LIU, M.D., and his staff offer neurotoxin wrinkle treatment. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online. We have convenient locations to serve you in Scarsdale NY, and New York, NY.

There are many different brand names of neurotoxins available to treat wrinkles, with the most commonly known brands being Dysport, Botox, and Xeomin. Clients should note that though these are all different brand names of neurotoxins, they all use the same neurotoxin; they just come in different formats and dosages to create different results. The brand of neurotoxin that you choose to use will be based on the desired outcomes you are hoping to achieve. Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin type A is included in all the injection brands since it works to paralyze the target muscle or muscles to create the desired effect that the client is looking to achieve with their use.
Since the differences in the neurotoxin are not the neurotoxin itself, the dose of the neurotoxin and the synthetic delivery method all differ.
Clients looking to achieve freezing of the muscle to reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles, smile lines, or crow feet will most likely benefit from Botox, which uses neurotoxin and some synthetic proteins to achieve the desired result. Some clients may find better results with the use of Dysport since it also has the neurotoxin, but the neurotoxin itself is encased inside a protein, making the body break down the neurotoxin much slower since it takes time for the body to recognize the toxins’ presence. Xeomin neurotoxin injections are completely different from the two aforementioned injections since only the neurotoxin is present in the injection and there is no use of synthetic proteins.
Determining the best neurotoxin for your appearance goals is important since each injection will create different effects in clients and your medical injector will be able to advise you on which method is going to be best in your circumstances. Your medical injector will also go over why you are looking to use the neurotoxin, as those looking for non-cosmetic injections for the treatment of excessive sweating, lazy eye or migraines will find that the best injection of neurotoxin will be Botox rather than the use of the other neurotoxin injections.
The area of the face that you will have neurotoxins injected into will be based on the desired outcomes you are looking to achieve and the brand of neurotoxin being used. Since all brands have been FDA-approved for different treatments of the face and wrinkles, your injector will go over this with you in detail before your injections are started. The most common uses for neurotoxin are the treatment of forehead lines, brow lines, crowfeet, and smile lines, but it has also been rising in popularity for the use of gummy smiles as it can freeze the muscle that pulls the lip up to expose the gums. Some neurotoxin brands can also be used to treat the appearance of drooping around the mouth and create a temporary lip lift. Your injector will discuss this with you before the injection as well, not only to understand our outcome goals but also to explain where the injections will be placed to achieve this outcome.
The duration of the neurotoxin benefits will be based on your own unique metabolism, the brand of neurotoxin that is being used, and whether you have used neurotoxin injections in the past. The average time neurotoxins will last in the body is between 6 months to 8 months, but clients who frequently use neurotoxins to treat skin concerns will notice that their benefits may last longer, which is extremely common when using them for extended periods. Some brands of neurotoxins may only last three to six months, but your injector will go over this with you during your consultation appointment so you and the injector can make the best decision for your unique situation.
