What are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins, commonly referred to as neuromodulators, are a type of cosmetic injectable used to temporarily relax muscles by blocking nerve signals. The most well-known and widely used neurotoxin in cosmetic treatments is Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A). Other neurotoxin brands include Dysport and Xeomin, which have similar mechanisms of action.

At Begin SalonSpa, neurotoxins are used for their muscle-relaxing properties to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns. The main reasons neurotoxins are used at Begin SalonSpa include:

  1. Reducing wrinkles: Neurotoxins are highly effective in reducing dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated muscle contractions from facial expressions like frowning, smiling, or squinting. Common areas treated include forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eyes), and glabellar lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows).
  2. Preventing the formation of deeper wrinkles: By temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for facial movements, neurotoxins can prevent wrinkles from becoming more prominent and deeper over time.
  3. Addressing excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis): Neurotoxins can be used to treat hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating, particularly in the underarms, palms, and soles.
  4. Migraine relief: In some cases, neurotoxins have been used to alleviate chronic migraines and tension headaches.
  5. Non-surgical brow lift and facial contouring: By selectively targeting specific facial muscles, neurotoxins can subtly lift the eyebrows and contour the face, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

At Begin SalonSpa, neurotoxin treatments are administered by trained and certified professionals to ensure safety and optimal results. The goal is to provide clients with a smoother, more relaxed, and natural-looking outcome, enhancing their overall facial aesthetics and confidence.
