About Neurotoxins

Injectables, like Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify®, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful look. Skin becomes wrinkled due to the stress of repeated expression of muscle movement. We use neurotoxins to relax the movement of the expression muscles so that the skin can rest and rebuild the collagen it lost due to repeated movement. These treatments result in diminished lines and smoother skin.

Typically, toxins are used in the forehead frown or “11” lines, the horizontal forehead lines and the “Crow’s Feet” around the eyes. They may also be used in the lower face to highlight certain features. These products can also be used as treatment for rosacea, as a microneedling boost, in the neck for smoothing and tightening, in the armpits for excessive sweating and in the jaw for TMJ pain or jawline slimming.

 At Skin Confident, we believe in customizing your neurotoxin treatment as each product has unique properties.

1.) What is the downtime for neurotoxins?

Typically there is no downtime associated with neurotoxin injections. Side effects can include light swelling at the injection site (like a mosquito bite), redness and bruising. The immediate post-procedure side effects of redness and swelling will resolve within an hour. While rare, any needle-to-skin treatment may create a bruise which will not affect treatment results but will last 3-5 days. We recommend receiving neurotoxin injections at least 3 weeks before any life event to ensure your look is perfect! 

2.) Do neurotoxins hurt?

All injectable treatments include discomfort. A “spicy pinch” is the typical feeling of a neurotoxin injection. Some areas are spicier than others. We provide distraction tools and cool packs if requested. 

3.) How many sessions will I need?

Neurotoxins require maintenance several times a year. The medications recommend treatment every 90 days. This can vary from patient to patient, so we recommend chatting with your provider and making a plan that best suits your goals and budget. 

4.) What is the investment for neurotoxin treatments?

Neurotoxin treatments vary by treatment area. All neurotoxins are priced per unit. At Skin Confident, our per-unit price is $13.50. We offer Alle®, Aspire® to help you sustain your skin goals!
