Neurotoxins: Botox, Xeomin, & Dysport

Neurotoxins exhibit its effects on the neuromuscular junction by inhibiting the release of Acetylcholine, which produces weakness or flaccid paralysis of the muscles. The Drug will start take effect by day 3, will maximize by 3 weeks, and will last about 3 months.

Neurotoxins are your best option when trying to reduce dynamic wrinkles or folds that are caused by muscle movement. When you raise your eyebrows, frown, smile or scrunch your facial muscles you cause dynamic movement that creates wrinkles. Even lip lines are partially caused by muscle movement. Many patients present with the chief complaint of horizontal forehead wrinkles, but do not want their brow to drop, which is a dilemma that requires discussion and education, and it may be pointed out that the patient is a candidate for cosmetic browlift or upper eyelid lift. Other areas of common use are the crow’s feet, bunny lines, lower lids, brows, glabella, nasolabial folds, perioral, mentalis, masseter, mandibular border and neck bands.
