We all begin to notice signs of aging on our faces at some point. Even with an intense skincare routine, you can’t ward off all fine lines, wrinkles, and creases that pop up over time.
But can you treat them? The answer is yes. Neurotoxins are a modern solution that smoothens the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles.
What Are Neurotoxins?
You may be wondering, “so, what are neurotoxins?” Although the name contains the word “toxin,” neurotoxins are safe to use for aesthetic purposes. Neurotoxins are injectable substances that block signals from your brain to your facial muscles. When the nerve signal is blocked, your facial muscles stop creating deep expressions. Neurotoxins can prevent and smooth facial expression lines and wrinkles.
Certain bacteria produce neurotoxins. They are responsible for the relaxed facial expressions of many high-profile older celebrities. With injectable treatments, you can achieve the same anti-aging effects without plastic surgery.
What Types of Neurotoxins Defy Aging?
There are a few different types of neurotoxins used in skin treatments. Each neurotoxin treatment has pros and cons that depend on your unique skin needs. In general, neurotoxins will smooth your skin and remove signs of past facial expressions. There are some key differences when you’re considering which neurotoxins to use for anti-aging effects.
Botox
Botox is one of the most commonly known neurotoxin treatments worldwide. It is used to treat many areas of the face where expression lines and tense muscles settle. Botox is very safe and has many uses in skin treatment. Some people choose to get Botox before they develop fine lines and wrinkles. The paralytic effect of Botox prevents facial muscles from continuously forming the same expressions that create wrinkles. Botox also has other medical uses, as well.
Xeomin
Xeomin is an alternative form of Botox that uses the same neurotoxin component as Botox. It is a good neurotoxin treatment with a slightly modified version of the neurotoxin to effectively combat fine lines, wrinkles, and aged skin for people who show moderate aging signs. This makes it an excellent alternative for people who have developed a tolerance to Botox injections and need more paralytic effects.
Dysport
Dysport can be considered to be a “light” neurotoxin treatment. The formula is designed to produce fast-acting results and has more versatile uses. For people who are just beginning to show mild signs of aging, Dysport is incredibly effective. Dysport can also prevent signs of aging from advancing and becoming more noticeable.
What Will My Neurotoxin Treatment Results Look Like?
It may be hard to picture the results of a neurotoxin treatment. You know that neurotoxin injections relax facial muscles by preventing nerve signals from reaching them. However, this does not necessarily give you a “frozen” appearance. Neurotoxin treatment is designed to appear natural and enhance your complexion.
Depending on the amount and type of neurotoxin injections you get, your results may look different. Some neurotoxin injections are meant for smoothing wrinkles, while others work to prevent future fine lines. All neurotoxin treatments have an anti-aging effect on your facial skin.
How Often Do I Need Neurotoxin Injections?
Neurotoxin treatments are not permanent. This is good news if you want to try it out before committing to a yearly schedule of injections.
Regular Treatments
Every person is different, but most people need three to four treatments per year to maintain optimal results. Your metabolism, activity level, and genetics all contribute to how long your results will last.
Preventative Neurotoxin Injections
Preventative neurotoxin treatment can prevent visible signs of aging before they occur. If you begin neurotoxin treatment at a younger age, you may find that you need fewer treatment sessions when you are older. However, even in the later stages of aging, neurotoxin treatment works wonders for restoring youth and smoothness to your face.
