Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins are a class of injectable treatments that temporarily paralyze target muscles in your face, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by muscle movements. Botox Cosmetic is the first FDA-approved and most popular neurotoxin, but in recent years a host of effective and long-lasting alternatives have emerged on the market.

At Align Aesthetics, serving Vero Beach and the surrounding towns, we offer several types of neurotoxins to help our clients reclaim their natural beauty and confidence. Ready to take the first step towards your rejuvenated, refreshed look? Book a consultation with us today.

What are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are purified proteins that work by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. When injected, they temporarily relax the muscle, preventing it from contracting. This mechanism helps smooth out the wrinkles and lines caused by repetitive facial expressions.

If you’re bothered by signs of aging like forehead lines, crow’s feet or frown lines, neurotoxins can be a solution. They act subtly, not changing your appearance drastically but giving your face a fresher, more relaxed look. Neurotoxin injections are a non-surgical, efficient method to soften these lines, rejuvenating your skin with minimal downtime.

Moreover, neurotoxins aren’t just for cosmetics–they have a variety of medical applications as well. Most commonly, neurotoxins are used for treating conditions caused by overactive muscles, such as cervical dystonia (neck spasms), strabismus (crossed eyes), and blepharospasm (eye twitching). They’re also widely used to manage chronic migraines and hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating.

Neurotoxins We Offer

At Align Aesthetics, we understand that every individual is unique. Therefore, we offer more than one neurotoxin brand to provide personalized treatment.

Botox Cosmetic

Botox Cosmetic, a widely recognized brand created by Allergan, is used to address lines and wrinkles. It’s especially effective for smoothing frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines.

Dysport

Dysport is another effective brand we offer, mainly targeting moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, offering a natural-looking finish.

Ideal Candidates for Neurotoxins

Good candidates for Botox and other neurotoxins are men and women in general good health who wish to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and are looking for a non-surgical treatment. While many of our clients are in their 30s, 40s and 50s, preventative injections can be performed for younger individuals who wish to delay fine lines from forming in the first place.

Clients who seek out neurotoxin treatments are typically experiencing:

• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
• Frown lines or “elevens” between the eyebrows
• Bunny lines (lines on the nose)
• Perioral lines (around the mouth)
• Vertical neck bands
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
• Chronic migraines
• Blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking)
• Strabismus (crossed eyes)
• Overactive bladder

Before & Afters

After neurotoxin injections, you can immediately notice a smoother appearance of the treated area. As any minor swelling subsides, you will see the complete results after 7 to 10 days, revealing a more youthful and radiant look.

What to Expect from Your Neurotoxins Session

Your neurotoxin injection experience begins with a warm, personal consultation where we’ll understand your aesthetic vision and discuss which areas of your face you’d like to enhance. For your procedure, you’ll be comfortably seated in one of our calming, spa-like treatment rooms. Our skilled provider will gently administer the injections, targeting specific facial muscles predetermined at your consultation. Though you might feel a quick, minimal sting, we aim to ensure your comfort throughout the process. A Botox session typically takes 15-30 minutes. 

Recovery and aftercare

After receiving injections, some clients may experience mild, temporary swelling or bruising at the injection sites. You’ll see your smoother, refreshed appearance emerge within 2–10 days. The results typically last 3-6 months, during which we’ll invite you back for upkeep appointments, continuing your journey to sustained, natural-looking youthfulness.

FAQs

What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are both types of botulinum toxin injections that relax muscles and reduce wrinkles. The primary difference lies in their formulation which can influence the dosage used, the diffusion (spread), and onset of results. Dysport may spread more and work faster, while Botox might stay more localized.

Do neurotoxins have any serious side effects?

Serious side effects from neurotoxins are rare but can include difficulty swallowing, breathing problems, or the spread of the toxin effects. More common, yet minor side effects include temporary bruising, headache, or eyelid drooping. Always ensure you get treatments from an experienced injector at a reputable medical spa.

Who shouldn’t get Botox injections?

People with a known allergy to botulinum toxin, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with certain neurological diseases shouldn’t get Botox injections. Also, anyone with an infection at the proposed injection site should wait until it’s resolved. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any treatment.
