Neurotoxins: Magic Wrinkle Remover?

As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, resulting in two kinds of wrinkles on the face: dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles occur during your natural facial expressions, whereas static wrinkles are always there. Aging combined with repeated facial expressions such as smiling, laughing, frowning, scowling or squinting can deepen these visible lines and wrinkles. For these types of wrinkles, we recommend using our Neurofacial® protocols. This will relax the visible signs of aging and refresh your appearance without any post-treatment discomfort or downtime. If you're looking to reduce static wrinkles, read about our laser treatments.

Neurotoxins: Botox® | Xeomin® | Dyspsort®

We use three Neurotoxins in our practice, Botox® being the most commonly known brand.

Strategically injecting a botulinum toxin directly into facial muscles with a fine needle will block chemical signals from reaching the nerves, which temporarily relax the muscles responsible for the motions of facial activity. This creates a more relaxed, alert appearance, leaving you with natural facial expressions.

The best way to find out of to start with a skin consult with Dr. Prieto. During this consult she discusses not only your skin, but your general health and appeareaceand educated patients on all the processes. Whether you become a patient of ours or not, she wants to make sure you are in control of your health care.

If you are a man or a woman experiencing dynamic wrinkles, do not want or need facial rejuvenation surgeries (facelift), and are in good health with no contraindicating medical conditions, you may be good candidates. Having a realistic expectation for treatment helps as well, but we do our best to explain the various outcomes for different procedures. During your consultation with Dr. Prieto and our medical team, they will discuss which treatment is better for you - even if it is less expensive - we will recommend it. Once approved for treatment, we will create a treatment plan for you based on your individual aesthetic goals.
