This group of products helps to minimize muscle movements that make facial fine lines and wrinkles. As we try to manage aging, these tools give us options to “age gracefully”. The average effectiveness for neurotoxins is 3-4 months. Some patients will see the effects wear off sooner than this, while others may notice that they are able to make it a little longer between recommended maintenance treatments. Results between the different brands of neurotoxins vary among patients depending on several individual factors. For this reason, we like to offer several different options to customize your treatment. As with any injection, there is a chance for bruising and/or swelling.
- Botox® – The brand name for the botulinum toxin manufactured by Allergan.
- Dysport® – The brand name for the botulinum toxin manufactured by Galderma.
- Xeomin® – The brand name for the botulinum toxin manufactured by Merz Aesthetics.

Neurotoxins FAQ
How do neurotoxin injectables differ from dermal fillers?
Neurotoxins relax muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, like frown lines and Crow's feet. Dermal fillers, conversely, add volume to areas with static wrinkles or volume loss, such as nasolabial folds or hollow cheeks.
What areas can be treated with neurotoxin injectables?
Common treatment areas include forehead lines, glabellar lines (between the eyebrows), Crow's feet (around the eyes), and neck bands. They can also address issues like a "gummy" smile or chin dimpling.
How long do the effects of neurotoxin injectables last?
Results typically become noticeable within a few days and can last between 3 – 4 months, depending on the specific product used and individual factors. Regular follow-up treatments at Plastic Surgery Vegas are necessary to help sustain the desired effect.
