What are “neurotoxins”?
Neurotoxins (commonly known by brand names such as onabotulinumtoxinA / Botox®, abobotulinumtoxinA / Dysport®, incobotulinumtoxinA / Xeomin®, and newer formulations) are purified proteins derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. They work by temporarily blocking the nerve-signals that cause muscle contraction (or other nerve-stimulated activity, like sweat gland activation).
How it works – the science behind it
When you make facial expressions (frowning, squinting, raising eyebrows), the underlying muscles contract again and again. Over time, this repeated motion leads to dynamic lines and wrinkles. Neurotoxins interrupt the signal from the nerve to the muscle by preventing release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
In aesthetic (cosmetic) applications, relaxing these muscles softens the appearance of lines and gives a refreshed, more relaxed look.
There are also medical/functional uses — for example, in treating excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) by injecting intradermally in sweat-gland-rich regions; here the neurotoxin blocks the nerve signals that activate sweat glands.
Onset: typically within a few days; full effect around one to two weeks. Duration: often 3-6 months in aesthetic use, longer in some cases
What to Expect
Before the appointment:
A consultation to review your goals, medical history (including any neuromuscular disorders, pregnancy/breastfeeding, medications, allergies). Some neurotoxins aren’t recommended in certain conditions.
Discussion of realistic outcomes, duration of effect, cost, and follow-up plan.
On treatment day: tiny injections, often with very fine needles; numbing or ice can be used to improve comfort if needed.
After treatment:
Most clients resume normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas for ~24 hours to prevent spreading of the toxin.
Results typically begin within 3-5 days, full effect around 7-14 days.
Duration: generally 3-4 months for many cosmetic uses; some areas and newer formulations may last longer.
Follow-up: You may schedule a touch-up or plan next session in 3-6 months depending on your goals and treatment area.
