Neurotoxins in Austin

Botox® and Dysport® are more than just buzzwords we hear when talking about aesthetic treatments to slow down the aging process. They’re carefully formulated injections containing a minute amount of a neurotoxin, a protein produced by a natural bacterium. When strategically injected into specific muscle areas, this toxin temporarily blocks the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, responsible for signaling the muscle contraction. With less acetylcholine to play with, those targeted muscles soften and relax, leaving behind smoother, more youthful, wrinkle-free skin.
