Introduction
Neurotoxins such as BOTOX®, Dysport, Juveau, and many others soften the look of frown lines and crow’s feet, restoring a refreshed, energized countenance. Our team at the Aesthetic Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery in the La Mesa and San Diego area delivers natural-looking results, taking your confidence and self-image to the next level.
Over time, repetitive facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, frowning, or squinting can lead to entrenched lines and creases, especially on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. A neurotoxin contains abobotulinumtoxin A, a purified protein from bacteria. It temporarily incapacitates the tiny muscles that contract to form wrinkles, allowing for smoother, more youthful-looking skin. These injection results can last 3-5 months.
Neurotoxins are suitable for healthy patients seeking a quick treatment to look more rejuvenated, youthful, and attractive. Whether you are dealing with frown lines, glabellar creases, or crow’s feet, neurotoxin injections with our team at the Aesthetic Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery can smooth the skin and help restore a positive self-image. In terms of contraindications, pregnant or nursing women should not undergo neurotoxin injections. Those with bleeding disorders, active skin infections, and neuromuscular disorders should also avoid neurotoxins.
