Neurotoxins are any toxin that affects nerve function, hence the neuro- prefix. Neuro stands for anything relating to the nerves or the nervous system. The neurotoxins used for medical aesthetics all hinder signals from nerves to the muscles around the injection site.
The neurotoxin used in cosmetic procedures is Botulinum toxin; it is the most sought-after cosmetic treatment globally. Botulinum toxin is from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum and can produce the deadly disease botulism. However, medical aesthetics uses the toxin because it halts the release of certain neurotransmitters from nerves’ endings.
In short, Botulinum toxin causes flaccid paralysis.
Different cosmetic products use Botulinum toxin to treat wrinkles and lines. At Premier Aesthetics, we offer neurotoxins, including Botox (the most popular), as well as Xeomin. They all treat contain Botulinum toxin as their primary active ingredient, but in varying amounts.
Botox is the most well-known example of a treatment that uses neurotoxins. It’s the first product approved by the FDA to treat wrinkles in various areas and is also suitable for rectifying certain medical conditions that affect muscular function.
Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau also use Botulinum toxin to achieve their desired effects. However, they contain lower concentrations of the neurotoxin Botulinum, making how they affect wrinkles slightly different from Botox.
You might wonder why medical professionals would intentionally inject neurotoxins into the human body on earth.
Medical science has discovered that injecting Botulinum toxin can be beneficial in the right concentration and in the perfect place. Injecting Botulinum toxin in specific amounts at strategic locations can achieve medical wonders without risking botulism.
The flaccid paralysis effect of the Botulinum toxin is helpful in preventing and smoothening the appearance of fine lines of wrinkles. Fine lines and wrinkles on the face form due to many factors, including the decrease of collagen and elastin over time, as well as the constant movement of the facial muscles creating ridges on the skin. The perpetual facial expressions lead to permanent creases on the skin.
By preventing the constant movements of the facial muscles beneath the skin, neurotoxins effectively prevent and help smoothen out fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Different neurotoxin brands have differing effects on the skin. However, their effects last for up to four months in general. In some cases, the results of the neurotoxins may last for up to six months, while in some cases, they may last for only a couple of months.
It is noted that some first-time patients of neurotoxins for wrinkles may only enjoy the results for a short time. But on their subsequent neurotoxin treatments, the fruits of the injections last longer.
Unfortunately, neurotoxin treatments for fine lines and wrinkles have side effects. These side effects are generally mild, temporary, and in no way will affect the ultimate outcome of the treatment. Although in some cases, the adverse effects are pretty severe.
The most common side effects include:
These mild and moderate side effects should dissipate within a few days to a couple of weeks.
The more severe complications include:
These more severe complications are often the result of incompetent injecting on the provider’s part. The toxin can spread beyond the intended target muscles when the injector is untrained or unskilled. You will notice these side effects hours to weeks after getting a Botulinum toxin injection.
You should immediately call your physician if you notice these side effects.
It is best to work with experienced and certified professional injectors for neurotoxin treatments.
Neurotoxins can treat several areas on the face – areas commonly afflicted by wrinkles. These areas include the forehead (forehead lines), the space between the eyebrows (scowl lines), sides of the nose (bunny lines), corners of the eyes (crow’s feet), corners of the lips, chin, and neck.
The results of neurotoxins vary depending on the product. Botox can take around ten to fourteen days for the results to manifest, while Dysport might take as soon as two days. Xeomin injections might take five to seven days to take full effect, while Jeaveau begins displaying results in three to five days.
The number of treatments you need to achieve your desired results varies depending on the type of neurotoxin you use and your specific needs. But most of the time, you need only one treatment session to get the results you want. And if you desire to maintain the effects of the treatment, schedule another session for when the outcomes fade.
Yes! Aside from being wrinkle relaxers, neurotoxins are also used for medical reasons. At Premier Family Care Clinic we offer neurotoxin treatments for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), temporomandibular joint disorders, and migraine relief.
The muscle-relaxing properties of neurotoxins make them suitable treatment options for the listed medical issues.
Whether you are pursuing cosmetic improvements or medical relief, it is best to have a consultation with a professional before undergoing a neurotoxin treatment.

Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face.
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent.
The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle.
Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation surgery.
For some patients, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eye lift may be the best approach. Minimally invasive rejuvenation treatments, such as soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate. It is important to remember that dermal fillers are temporary treatments for facial aging and that ongoing treatments will be needed for long-term results

• SkinPen rejuvenates skin from the inside out for younger-looking skin
• Results are natural, safe and effective for all skin tones and types
• Jump-starts new collagen without heat or chemicals
• Quick-and-easy with little to no downtime
SkinPen is a simple, comfortable, and effective treatment for skin rejuvenation. Most people see results in as few as three 30-minute sessions.
Before Treatment
• Your provider will gently cleanse your skin. Topical anesthesia may be administered to assure maximum comfort during the treatment.
During Treatment
• Skin Pen creates millions of controlled microchannels in the skin. This jump starts the production of collagen and elastin and encourages the release of growth factors that recruit and increase reparative cells. The result is a cascade of healing processes that can continue for months following your treatment.
• The SkinPen treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes. Depending on whether an anesthetic is used prior to treatment, your entire treatment session may last up to one hour- still plenty of time to schedule your treatment before work or during your lunch hour. Be sure to speak with your provider before you come to get an accurate estimate, so you know how to plan your visit.
After Treatment
• Your skin may initially appear slightly pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and should subside within 24 to 72 hours.
• Some people see rejuvenated skin after just one treatment, and results may continue to improve for three to six months following your last treatment.
Ready to schedule your treatment give us a call at 251-626-6757 or email miranda@premierfamilycareclinic.com to get your series of microneedling treatments scheduled.

Skinbetter science was formed in 2016 to establish a new biotech-based paradigm in skincare. Our innovative approach is built on three pillars: a technology pipeline of scientific innovation across multiple skincare categories, rigorous clinical substantiation of the safety and efficacy of the products developed from these novel technologies, and a partnership with dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals in the aesthetic medical community to deliver best-in-class skincare solutions to their patients.
Traditional skincare products have focused solely on the skin’s surface. But new research shows the importance of also focusing on the skin’s microbiome. Just like the intestinal microbiome is key to gut health, so too is the skin’s microbiome to skin health. With its one-of-a-kind living Xycrobe™ Technology, BIOJUVE enhances the microbiome for healthier, younger-looking skin.
