Common brands of neurotoxins include BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and DAXXIFY®.
Dr. Hua and his team are here to provide a thoughtfully curated, results-driven injectable experience. The following information is a guide to the variety of cosmetic enhancements available to you with injectables and fillers.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Lines that appear around the eyes and mouth when you animate your face are known as dynamic wrinkles These are caused by the muscles used for facial expressions. Neurotoxins block the signals that cause unwanted contractions, resulting in muscles that stay relaxed and the reduction of aging lines.
Neurotoxins can smooth a variety of lines on the face, including glabellar lines (also known as 11’s or frown lines between the brows), bunny lines on the nose, crow’s feet, smoker’s lines, and more. Neurotoxins can give your eyebrows and eyes a lift and give you a more youthful appearance.
Lip Flip
This non-surgical procedure involves injecting a neurotoxin into the corners of the mouth and the edges of the lip. This relaxes the muscles around the mouth, causing the lip to “flip” outward slightly and appear fuller. Many people opt for this procedure over lip fillers because it looks more natural and doesn’t involve bruising or swelling.
Neck Tightening
Over time, the skin, fat, and superficial muscles of our neck create unwanted lines and wrinkles called Platysma banding. These can be treated with micro-botox shots around the Platysma muscle to decrease the contraction of the muscle and soften the lines and wrinkles around the neck.
TMJ Symptoms
Stress, anxiety, chewing habits, bruxism, or teeth grinding all can cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD). The dysfunction of these joints can cause hypertrophy of the masster and temporalis muscles as well as pain and discomfort with chewing in the area. Injecting neurotoxins into the masseter and temporalis muscles causes these muscles to relax, providing relief from pain and discomfort often associated with TMJ.
Facial Slimming
Neurotoxins can temporarily slim the jaw and improve the lower face shape due to muscle relaxation. Many patients opt for this non-surgical face-slimming option, which is a great option for those with large jaw muscles, or those who involuntarily clench their teeth. Results can include subtle narrowing of the lower face or a more V-shaped look overall.
Headaches
Neurotoxins also can be used to treat tension headaches, muscle cramps and imbalance from bad posture or over work. The neurotoxins can be placed in large muscle groups around the head, temples, neck, and shoulders to alleviate the daily wear and tear of life.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Much like neurotoxins can be used to block signals responsible for muscle contraction, they can also interrupt transmissions from sweat glands. By blocking the nerve signals responsible for stimulating sweating, neurotoxins can prevent the overproduction of sweat in the axilla (armpits), palms, feet, and other areas.
