Why Neurotoxins?
Adults are living longer than ever before. We feel vital and active, so we want our faces to mirror youthful minds and hearts.
Smiling, frowning, squinting and even chewing-basically any facial movement-can eventually lead to one of the most common signs of aging – wrinkles. Wrinkles can make you appear tired or even angry when you are not. One of the quickest and safest remedies to remove wrinkles is an injection of a neurotoxin. Injected into muscles, neurotoxins, such as Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau are used to temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe crow's feet lines and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. Results usually last 3-4 months, up to 6 months, depending on how much neurotoxin is injected into a location.
Neurotoxins work by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles so that the muscle can't contract, or at least can't contract easily. This allows wrinkles to relax and appear softened. You should still have full feeling in the area, it is just harder to contract the muscle group.
Wrinkles causes by gravity or sun damage aren't readily fixed by neurotoxins but there are other treatments, such as laser resurfacing and dermal fillers.

Though there are slight differences in the effects of neurotoxins, most can be used to similar result.
Neurotoxins have a very short shelf-life of just a few days and must be frozen, usually under dry ice to maintain freshness, otherwise their efficacy will be greatly diminished. Their neurotoxins will last a month or two instead of their full term of 4 to 6 months. Many providers don't have the clientele to justify purchasing neurotoxins regularly and may push their neurotoxins a bit longer than recommended, ultimately weakening their effects or duration. That's just a false economy. We suggest to get your neurotoxins from a reputable spa. Sadly, we always see clients that go get neurotoxins elsewhere only to be disappointed and ultimately come to us to get full-efficacy neurotoxins. Save yourself the hassle – come see why we are the Number 1 Injector in the State & in the Top 100 in the Nation.

A Procedure for Excessive Sweating?
If clinical-strength antiperspirants have failed, you may have severe underarm sweating. Botox® can be injected into the skin to treat the symptoms of severe underarm sweating (severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis) when medicines used on the skin (topical) do not work well enough in people 18 years and older. It is not known whether Botox® is safe or effective for severe sweating anywhere other than your armpits.
In a clinical study, the duration of response in patients receiving Botox® treatment was 201 days, or 6.7 months. Individual results may vary.
