WHAT ARE TOXIN INJECTIONS?
Toxin injections are used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by blocking certain
chemical signals from your nerves, mostly signals that cause muscles to contract. You
might wonder if it's going to hurt. Most people don't feel much discomfort during the
procedure. However, you can ask our provider to numb the area of injection before
starting the procedure. Your doctor will use a thin needle to inject tiny amounts of
botulinum toxin into your skin or muscles. The results from your injection usually
begin to appear one to three days after the treatment. Depending on the problem being
treated, the effect may last three months or longer. To maintain the effect, we
recommend you coming back every three months to be treated again.
