Neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau are commonly used in cosmetic procedures to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, many people are unaware of the wider applications of safe and effective neurotoxin procedures.
The primary application of these chemicals is to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, particularly dynamic wrinkles that result from repetitive muscle movements such as frowning, squinting, and smiling. They function by temporarily inhibiting muscle activity, leading to a smoothing effect on the skin and a reduction in wrinkle visibility.
Neurotoxins can also be used as a preventative measure. By limiting muscle movement, they can prevent the formation of new wrinkles and slow down the aging process.
Perri Skin Care & Surgical Specialties offers an assortment of safe, regulated neurotoxin treatments using Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau. If any of the services below interest you, please contact us immediately for a free consultation!
- Brow Lift: Neurotoxins can be used to perform a non-surgical brow lift. By relaxing the muscles that pull the eyebrows down, the muscles that lift the eyebrows can work more effectively, creating a natural lift.
- Hyperhidrosis Treatment: While not strictly a cosmetic benefit, neurotoxins can be used to treat excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. By blocking the nerves that trigger sweat glands, they can significantly reduce sweating in areas like the underarms, hands, and feet.
- Jaw Slimming: Neurotoxins can be used to slim the jawline by injecting them into the masseter muscle (the muscle that moves the jaw), which can reduce its size over time.
- Lip Flip: A “lip flip” is a procedure where neurotoxins are used to relax the muscles around the mouth, causing the lip to slightly flip outward and create the illusion of a fuller upper lip.
- Smoothing Neck Bands: Neurotoxins can be used to smooth out vertical neck bands by relaxing the platysma muscle in the neck.
- Gummy Smile Correction: When an individual’s upper lip rises excessively above their upper teeth during a smile, exposing a significant portion of the gums, neurotoxin treatments may be employed to lower the lip and diminish gum visibility.
