Toxins

Neurotoxins or Toxins is a non-surgical aesthetic service designed to temporarily reduce facial wrinkles. The procedure involves injecting a purified protein into targeted areas, effectively reducing muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles. Common treatment areas include the forehead, around the eyes, and the frown lines between the eyebrows. The treatments are versatile and can also be used for brow lifts, bunny lines, lip flips, and more. The quick and minimally invasive treatment sessions make Toxins a practical choice for individuals seeking to smooth their facial lines without significant downtime.

Toxins in San Diego, CA, are ideal for adults looking to diminish visible signs of aging and achieve a more youthful appearance. The effects of Toxins usually appear within three to five days after treatment, with full effects occurring around two weeks. Effects usually last for 3 to 4 months, after which repeat treatments are recommended for maintained results. No downtime is required, allowing clients to return to their daily activities immediately. However, it’s advisable to avoid laying down or bending over for 4 hours post-treatment and not touching the treated areas to ensure the best possible outcomes.
