Neurotoxins
IN PORTSMOUTH, NH
Neurotoxin treatments, such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, are injectable solutions that temporarily block nerve receptors in the muscle, preventing lines and wrinkles from forming. These potent compounds temporarily block nerve signals in specific muscles, causing them to relax, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Neurotoxin treatments are tailored to the individual and can effectively target areas such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and between the eyebrows, among many others. These treatments aim to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Clients may begin to see results in 3-4 days but it can take up to two weeks for the full effect. Neurotoxin therapy may last three to six months, depending on the individual’s metabolism and lifestyle.
