What are Neurotoxin Injections?
Neurotoxins are injectable medications containing botulinum toxin as their active ingredient. This toxin operates on nerves to cause paralysis in the places where it is injected. Neurotoxins are a highly effective treatment since many lines and wrinkles are caused by muscle action. These chemicals function by obstructing the nerve signals to the muscles, preventing the muscle motions that generate wrinkles. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. While extremely large doses of botulinum toxin are harmful, neurotoxic injections only require the smallest quantities to get outstanding results. In 2002, when the FDA approved injectable botulinum toxin for the first time, it confirmed that this chemical is safe for facial injections.
Different Types of Neurotoxin Injections We Offer
Anti Aging & Ketamine Center currently offers four types of neurotoxin injections that offer their unique advantages when used. Here’s a brief overview of these injections.
Botox
Botox has been used by physicians for years to repair wrinkles and facial creases. Botox is the brand name for a toxin produced by clostridium botulinum. It works by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles, allowing the wrinkles to relax and soften. It is mostly used for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Botox works better in small areas.
Dysport
Dysport also contains botulinum type A as its main active ingredient. However, it’s more diluted than Botox, making it a better option for larger treatment areas. Upon injection, Dysport incapacitates the nerves at the injection site, restricting muscle movement, relaxing the treatment area, and smoothing out its appearance. It is primarily used to treat moderate to severe forehead lines and frown lines.
Xeomin
Xeomin also contains botulinum toxin type A that works well in forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines. However, the significant difference between Xeomin and Botox is that Xeomin contains a ‘pure’ form of botulinum toxin designed to deliver the toxin without any additives. With this, you can prevent antibody resistance from neurotoxin injections over time. Additionally, some studies show that Xeomin works faster and lasts longer than Botox.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau works similarly to Botox, but it contains prabotulinumtoxinA instead of Botox’s onabotulinumtoxinA. It is also one of the latest wrinkle-relaxing injections on the market. As it works the same as Botox, it can effectively relax and smoothen out wrinkles and prevent the further development of fine lines and wrinkles.

How It Works
How Our Neurotoxin Injection Procedure Works
You will meet with our facial aesthetics expert who will listen to your concerns, assess your condition, and review your medical history, including your allergies, medications, and previous procedures. Once they have determined the proper treatment plan for you, you will be given pre-treatment instructions in preparation for your upcoming procedure.
On the day of your treatment, you will first fill out the consent form. After that, we will take your ‘before’ photos. Then, we will begin marking the areas that need treatment. Using a fine needle, our facial aesthetic expert will then inject the neurotoxin into the marked areas. The entire treatment should only last a few minutes, and you won’t need anesthesia.
After your treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, bruising, and even pain on the injection sites. These side effects are normal and will usually wear out by themselves. Your facial aesthetician will then schedule a follow-up check-up before you leave.
