Neurotoxin
1. What is Neurotoxin and How Does It Work?
a. Neurotoxins are a popular and highly effective treatment used in cosmetic and aesthetic medicine to temporarily relax facial muscles. By reducing muscle activity, neurotoxins help smooth the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial movement.
b. At Prestige MedSpa, we offer four FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectables, each with its own unique properties. All four options are safe, effective, and tailored to meet your unique aesthetic goals.
BOTOX® is the first botulinum toxin developed to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines between the eyebrows and vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck (platysma bands) in adults.
Xeomin® is the purest form of botulinum toxin. It does not contain the accessory proteins that are part of other neurotoxins. Its purity reduces the risk of your body developing resistance over time, lowering the chance of developing neutralizing antibodies.
Dysport® includes accessory proteins that help stabilize and protect the neurotoxin. It has a fast onset and a wide diffusion area, and so this is very advantageous when treating larger muscle groups or broad facial zones.
Jeuveau® is the newest addition to the market, it is designed exclusively for cosmetic use while other neurotoxins have therapeutic applications. Jeuveau focuses solely on aesthetic enhancement, making it a modern choice for wrinkle reduction.
