NEUROTOXINS

Neurotoxins are injectable solutions that temporarily block nerve receptors in the muscle, preventing lines and wrinkles from forming. They can be used to treat muscle stiffness, muscle spasms, excessive sweating, and overactive bladder. The anti-aging results begin to appear approximately 7-14 days after treatment and the effects generally last 3-4 months.

BOTOX, Dysport, Daxxify, and Xeomin are injectable neurotoxins that are offered based on your needs. We offer a customized treatment for each client.

Botox — $13 per unit

Botox is a neuromodulator that is injected into facial muscles to relax and smooth the persistent wrinkles that develop through natural aging. While the results are dramatic, it will not radically change your facial appearance. Botox procedures are quick and require no recovery time.

Daxxify — Price Varies

DAXXIFY® is FDA-approved to smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows. It is the only long-lasting frown line treatment powered by a peptide with results that last on average 6 months and up to 9 months for some.*

Dysport — $12 per unit

Dysport temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. One injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines.

3 units of Dysport = 1 unit of other toxins

Xeomin — $10 per unit

Xeomin® is made through a unique precision manufacturing process called XTRACT Technology™, that uses two filtration steps to isolate the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the complexing/unnecessary proteins that don’t play an active role in treatment. Xeomin® is a double filtered neurotoxin.

Xeomin® is a prescription medication that blocks the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.

Botox Lip Lines/Lip Flips — $100+

Lip line treatments start at $100. Botox is a prescription medicine injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe lines around the lips in people to 18 to 65 years of age for a short period of time. Botox relaxes the muscle that pulls your lip downward and allows the natural volume to flip upward.

Masseter Botox — Price Varies

Botox injected into the masseter muscle is ideal for patients who are grinding, clenching, and wearing out their teeth, for patients who have frequent tension or migraine headaches, and for patients who do not like the shape of their face because of square or thick jaw line and who want to appear for feminine. The amount of botox needed to treat this are varies.

 What You Need To Know About Your Upcoming Appointment

Neurotoxins like Daxxify, Dysport, Botox, and Xeomin are prescription injectable medications/neurotoxins that are injected into muscles and used to improve the look of lines and wrinkles. MedSpa Downtown provides the highest quality Daxxify, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin in West Georgia and East Alabama, with a customized approach and exceptional skill.

Treatments with any neurotoxin are customized to the client’s specific needs and are typically accomplished in less than an hour. Neurotoxin treatments work by cutting off the connection between the neuron and the muscle that has been injected. 

  • Treatment with neurotoxins deliver subtle but impactful results. Results will start to be seen within 7-14 days following your treatment. The results typically last 3-4 months. However, some individuals who are genetically blessed, metabolize the product slower and can see results anywhere from 5 to 8 months. At MedSpa Downtown, you will be treated by a licensed trained expert in anatomy so the results look very natural. Each Toxin treatment is customized to the individual. No treatment is the same.

  • Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are types of botulinum toxins. These three products are primarly used for prevention and corrective treatment of wrinkles. However, they can be used to treat other medical conditions like migraines, excessive sweating, muscle spasms and other health related conditions. The differences between the three products are at the molecular level. Some people metabolize products differently which is why we offer a variety.

  • The first visit can take anywhere from 45-60 minutes. This allows our staff to develop a individualized treatment plan based on your needs and physiology. We also take time to answer questions you may have during the initial visit. Follow-up visits typically take 30-45 minutes. Making it an easy lunch-time procedure for individuals working in Carrollton, Dallas, Douglasville, Newnan and/or Hiram.

  • Antihistamines like Benadryl can increase the effect of botulinum toxin

    Certain antibiotics like gentamicin, tobramycin, clindamycin, or neomycin may increase the effect of botulinum toxin

    Certain medications that thin your blood like ibuprofen, warfarin, or aspirin may result in bruising

    If you have a history of cold sores please let your provider know, they may put you on an anti-viral medication prior to treatment.

    Discontinue Retin-A 2 days before and 2 days after treatment.

    • Visible wrinkles when your face or forehead when your face is at rest

    • A horizontal or perpendicular line on the nose at rest

    • Fine lines or wrinkles in the corners of your eyes

    • Visible vertical lines between your eyebrows, often referred to as “eleven lines”

    • A frown at rest or downward turn on the corners of your mouth

    • Gums visible when you smile big

    • Lip turns down or inward when you smile

    • Vertical lines at rest above top lip or below the bottom lip. Commonly associated with talking with the center of your mouth, often caused by smoking and/or drinking through a straw.

  • Most people start to notice the early signs of aging -such as crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and fine lines- in their 20s and 30s. Preventative botox will prevent your lines from setting into deep wrinkles, whereas corrective botox reduces the appearance of wrinkles. People who receive preventative botox before their wrinkles have fully set will not need as much Botox when they are older. Which means they will end up saving money in the long run.
