Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins soften expression lines for a smoother, refreshed appearance while preserving natural movement. By temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, treatment softens existing lines and helps prevent them from becoming more deeply etched over time.
At Skinfluence, treatment is never one-size-fits-all. We offer FDA-approved neuromodulators and tailor every treatment to your facial anatomy, movement and goals, recommending the option best suited to you during your consultation.
What Are Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins like Botox®, Dysport® and Xeomin® are among the most trusted aesthetic treatments available, with decades of clinical use behind them. They smooth expression lines for a refreshed, natural-looking result, with quick appointments and no downtime.
How Neurotoxins Work
Every time you frown, squint or raise your brows, small muscles fold the skin above them. Neurotoxins temporarily relax those specific muscles, so existing lines soften and new ones are less likely to form, while the rest of your face moves naturally.
What to Expect
Treatment takes less than 30 minutes and involves just a few tiny injections, so it fits easily into a lunch break. You'll start to see results in 5–7 days, with your full result at about two weeks. Results typically last 3–4 months.
Where We Treat
Targeted Treatment Areas
Neurotoxins work best on lines caused by movement. These are the areas we treat most often, always tailored to how your face moves.
Forehead Lines
Smooth the horizontal lines that form when you raise your brows.
Frown Lines
Soften the "11s" between your brows for a more relaxed, rested look.
Crow's Feet
Relax the fine lines at the corners of your eyes when you smile.
Brow Lift
Add a subtle lift to the brow for a brighter, more open eye area.
Bunny Lines
Smooth the small lines that appear along the nose when you scrunch.
Lip Flip
Gently relax the upper lip to show a touch more fullness, no filler needed.
Chin Dimpling
Smooth a dimpled, "orange peel" texture on the chin.
Jaw Slimming
Relax the masseter muscles to soften a square jaw and ease clenching.
