What are neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins such as Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are FDA-approved injectable treatments designed to temporarily smooth moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles. These cosmetic injectables target dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines—that form from repeated facial expressions over time.

Although the brand formulations vary slightly, all three treatments work in similar ways and are derived from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. While botulinum toxin can be harmful in large quantities, the doses used in aesthetic treatments are carefully controlled, clinically studied, and considered extremely safe when administered by a licensed medical professional.

Men and women alike choose neurotoxin injections to look more refreshed, youthful, and well-rested. For those concerned about deep forehead creases or frown lines that make them appear tense or tired, these treatments can offer a more relaxed and approachable look.

How do neurotoxins work?

Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to specific facial muscles. This controlled relaxation prevents those muscles from contracting fully, which reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by repeated movement.

Treatment is quick and virtually painless. Your provider uses a fine needle to administer the injections with precision, ensuring a natural-looking outcome. It typically takes five injections to treat frown lines, six to ten for forehead lines, and up to four for crow’s feet. No anesthesia is needed, and you can return to your normal activities immediately following your visit.

Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. While individual results may vary, most patients enjoy smoother skin for about three to four months before a touch-up is recommended.

Choosing a trained medical professional is essential for safe and effective treatment. At WeeCareClinic, the team brings clinical expertise and an artistic eye to every procedure, delivering results that are both noticeable and natural.

Are neurotoxin treatments safe?

Neurotoxin injectables like Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport have been used safely in both cosmetic and medical treatments for decades. Botox alone has been the focus of more than 15 years of clinical study and is cited in over 500 peer-reviewed medical publications. These treatments have an outstanding safety profile when performed by qualified healthcare providers.
