Neurotoxins, including Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are popular non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation offered by Dr. Kian Eftekhari at Eyelid Center of Utah. These injectables work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Procedure
During a neurotoxin treatment session, Dr. Eftekhari will inject the chosen product into targeted facial muscles using a fine needle. This process is quick and minimally invasive, with most sessions lasting around 15-30 minutes. Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for neurotoxin treatments are individuals bothered by dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.
Benefits
The benefits of neurotoxin treatments include:
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Quick procedure with no downtime
- Natural-looking results
Recovery and Results
Following a neurotoxin treatment, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. Results become noticeable within a few days to a week after treatment and can last for 3-4 months, depending on the specific product used.
