How Do Neurotoxin Treatments Work?
Neurotoxin treatments such as Dysport, Botox, Xeomin, and DAXXIFY, block nerve signals to the muscles, temporarily reducing their activity. This relaxation of muscles results in smoother skin and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
What Are the Types of Neurotoxins?
- Dysport – Effectively corrects moderate to severe frown lines, making it ideal for individuals seeking noticeable wrinkle reduction between the eyebrows.
- Botox – A versatile option for addressing crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and laugh lines, offering natural-looking results for those with mild to moderate wrinkles.
- Xeomin – A highly purified injectable that smoothens wrinkles without additives or proteins, making it suitable for sensitive individuals. While designed for frown lines, Xeomin ensures safe and effective wrinkle reduction without requiring refrigeration.
- DAXXIFY – an FDA-approved treatment for moderate to severe wrinkles, targets stubborn frown lines on the forehead and between the brows. It’s an excellent choice for individuals seeking longer-lasting results or who have not succeeded with other neuromodulators.
What Are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary dermal fillers that utilize naturally occurring sugar in the skin to restore hydration and volume. This sugar, hyaluronic acid (HA), is crucial in retaining water, resulting in plump and hydrated skin. The fillers are injected into specific areas of the face to smooth out wrinkles and add volume where needed.
How Do Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Work
When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid fillers attract water molecules, which helps to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They can hold up to 1,000 times their weight in water, providing long-lasting hydration and volume. These versatile fillers can be used over the face to address various concerns.
What Are the Types of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

What Are Non-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Non-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are injectable treatments designed to fill in lines and wrinkles by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which directly add volume to the skin, these fillers trigger the body to produce collagen, promoting long-term skin texture and tone improvement.
How Do Non-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Work?
Non-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers incorporate different active components and ingredients to stimulate collagen production in the skin. Introducing these substances activates the body’s natural healing processes, leading to increased collagen synthesis and the gradual reduction of lines and wrinkles.
What Are the Types of Non-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Sculptra: Sculptra is an injectable bio stimulator containing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It has a liquid consistency and is injected beneath the skin, integrating into the tissues and stimulating collagen production.
Radiesse: Made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Radiesse offers firm support in areas like the nasolabial folds, chin, and jawline. It lasts 12-14 months and stimulates collagen production for sustained results.
