Treatment Overview
Neurotoxins are a go-to treatment for smoothing dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repeated facial movements like frowning or squinting. The procedure involves injecting a purified protein into specific facial muscles to relax them temporarily. Over time, this reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. While the results are temporary, with consistent maintenance, clients can enjoy a refreshed, youthful look year-round.
Neurotoxins Treatments
Dysport®
Known for its faster onset compared to other Neurotoxins, Dysport is ideal for treating larger areas, like the forehead, due to its natural diffusion effect.
Botox®
As one of the most widely recognized names in aesthetics, Botox provides reliable and precise wrinkle reduction, particularly for frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
Daxxify™
Daxxify offers an exciting innovation in Neurotoxins. Its longer-lasting effects—up to six months in many cases—reduce the need for frequent touch-ups.

What to Expect
Before the Treatment
- Before your neurotoxin session, a consultation will be conducted with our practitioner to discuss your aesthetic goals and medical history. This helps determine the best treatment areas and appropriate dosage for your needs. Patients are advised to avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and anti-inflammatory medications for at least 24 to 48 hours before the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising.
Period During the Treatment
- The treatment process is quick and straightforward. After the target areas are identified, the practitioner will cleanse the skin and may apply a topical numbing cream for added comfort. Using a fine needle, the neurotoxin is injected directly into the desired muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinprick or slight pressure. The entire session usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. There’s no need for anesthesia, and most patients can return to their daily activities right away
After the Treatment
- It’s expected to have some temporary side effects like redness, swelling, or slight bruising at the injection sites. These usually clear up within a few hours. Patients should avoid rubbing the treated area, exercising, or lying down for at least 4 hours post-treatment to prevent the neurotoxin from spreading. You'll start seeing results in 3 to 5 days as your muscles begin to relax. The full effect will be noticeable after 10 to 14 days. The results usually last 3 to 4 months, then you might want to come back for another session to keep the effects going.
Maintenance
The effects of Neurotoxins typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on the brand and individual factors. Regular treatments are recommended every 3 to 4 months to maintain optimal results. Daxxify offers extended results, potentially reducing the frequency of touch-ups to twice a year. Consistent follow-ups at Symmetry Aesthetics ensure personalized care and the best outcomes.
