Introduction To Wrinkle Relaxers
Neurotoxins play a pivotal role in the field of aesthetics, offering a non-invasive solution to address facial wrinkles, fine lines, and overall anti-aging. These products work by temporarily relaxing/paralyzing specific muscles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. While various neurotoxins exist, the most commonly used products Splendid Skin offers in aesthetic procedures are Botox® (Onabotulinumtoxin Type A), Xeomin® (Incobotulinumtoxin A), Jeuveau® (Prabotulinumtoxin A-xvfs), and Dysport® (Abobotulinumtoxin A).
How do these products work?
These products inhibit the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. By blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, the toxin temporarily relaxes them, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and preventing further lines from forming.
What do they treat?
We use these products to treat Dynamic Wrinkles. Neurotoxins are particularly effective for treating dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Additionally, strategic injection of neurotoxins can lift and shape the eyebrows, providing a non-surgical alternative to a brow lift. Other possible benefits include jawline contouring, neck-line reduction, and skin tightening.
Why do we LOVE this treatment?
Neurotoxins have revolutionized the field of aesthetic medicine, offering a safe and effective solution for reducing facial wrinkles and enhancing facial harmony. With little to no downtime, these products are at the TOP of treatments we service. Neuromodulators are considered the Gold Standard in Aesthetics.
