Botulinum toxin type A is an injectable neurotoxin, most commonly known by brand names such as Botox Cosmetic®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and Nuciva™. Neurotoxins are often used to treat wrinkles that form as a result of our most frequent facial movements like smiling, frowning and squinting.
The treatment works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles that create these movements, causing them to relax which will soften your expressions and reduce your wrinkles. They can also work to soften and sculpt the face and neck by decreasing unwanted muscle mass.
The most commonly treated areas are:
• Furrow lines “Glabellar lines” (a.k.a. “elevens” or frown lines);
• Wrinkles around the eyes, “crow’s feet”;
• Forehead creases;
• Corners of the mouth;
• Neck lines;
• Masseters or jaw muscles.
While Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin and Nuciva are all neurotoxins, they have key differences in formulations which can influence dosage and how quickly you can expect to see results.
