Neurotoxin injections, popularly known as tox treatments, are some of the most sought-after non-surgical cosmetic procedures. At Harbour Laser, we specialize in delivering these effective treatments to help our clients achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance. Whether you’re new to the world of injectables or looking for a reliable place to maintain your aesthetic goals, our expert team is here to guide you through every step of the process.
What is Botulinum Toxin?
Neurotoxin, or injectable botulinum toxin treatments, temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By blocking nerve signals to these muscles, botulinum toxin prevents them from contracting, leading to a smoother, more youthful look.
Botulinum toxin injections are quick, minimally invasive, and have become a go-to solution for those seeking to reduce signs of aging without surgery. At Harbour Laser, we provide a range of tox treatments tailored to meet each client’s unique needs and aesthetic goals.
What Does Botulinum Toxin Address?
- Smooth out severe forehead lines.
- Soften the vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called “11s.”
- Minimize the fine crow’s feet lines.
- Reduce wrinkles that form on the nose when smiling or laughing.
- Effectively treat severe frown lines
- Relax the muscle responsible for creating a dimpled texture on the chin.
- Soften the appearance of prominent vertical neck bands.
Clinical trials have also shown neurotoxin efficacy when used to treat medical conditions, such as reducing excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), chronic migraine or TMJ pain, bladder control, and muscle or nerve conditions without the assistance of prescription medicine. All your medical conditions must be evaluated beforehand to ensure you will not experience an allergic reaction or serious symptoms.
Will I See Results Immediately?
While botulinum toxin is incredibly effective, it’s important to have realistic expectations regarding the timeline of muscle weakness. Typically, initial effects with injections like Botox cosmetic will become visible within 3 to 5 days post-treatment, with full results from all-over muscle weakness appearing after about two weeks. This gradual development allows for a natural transformation, ensuring your appearance remains subtle yet noticeably refreshed.
How Long Do Botox Cosmetic Results Last?
The longevity of neurotoxin results can vary based on several factors, including the area treated, the specific product used, and individual client metabolism. On average, the effects of tox injections last between 3 to 4 months.
Over time, as the neurotoxin’s effect diminishes, muscle activity gradually returns, and lines may reappear. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to prolong the youthful effects and keep your skin looking smooth and rejuvenated.
Do Neurotoxin Injections Hurt?
At Harbour Laser, we prioritize client comfort. Our skilled professionals utilize fine needles and precise techniques to ensure the injection process is as painless as possible. Most clients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure. If you have concerns about discomfort, we also offer various comfort measures to make your experience as pleasant as possible.
As you recover, discomfort will be minimal, and over-the-counter medicines can mitigate pain. Treat the injection site with care to avoid skin infection and discontinue the use of blood thinners or sleep medicine to ensure no abnormal facial changes occur. As your nervous system adjusts to the general muscle weakness, make sure tho avoid massaging the treated area to ensure there is no abnormal facial change. treat frown lines
