Neurotoxins are cosmetic injectables that temporarily paralyzes muscles in the face. Neurotoxins contains a purified and safe form of botulinum toxin A, which is produced by the microbe that causes botulism. Neurotoxins are used to treat permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin that are formed by the continual contraction of facial muscles. At Charlotte Medical Aesthetics, we offer multiple options of Neurotoxins, including:
- Xeomin®

Neurotoxin Procedure and Results
Using a very fine needle, the neurotoxin is injected directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines. Receiving the injections requires no anesthetic, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream.
Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, and typically last up to four months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer. During your consultation, we will discuss which neurotoxin is best fit for you and what results you can expect.
