what are botox® and other neurotoxins?
Neurotoxins are FDA-approved injectable medications derived from purified botulinum toxin type A. When expertly administered, they temporarily relax targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—lines formed by repeated movement such as frowning, squinting, or lifting the brows. At ION, we offer Botox®, Jeuveau®, Dysport®, and Daxxify®.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
BOTOX is a brand name for a neurotoxin injection. Other brands of neurotoxins include Jeuveau, Dysport, Daxxify, Letybo, and more. Neurotoxin helps to relax wrinkles, softening and preventing them from getting deeper. BOTOX can also help to increase facial symmetry and balance features.
Neurotoxins like BOTOX, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Daxxify work by relaxing facial muscles, resulting in fewer wrinkles. At your appointment, your injector will discuss your goals and assess how many units of wrinkle relaxer will offer your desired effect. Then, using small needles, the wrinkle relaxer is precisely injected into the muscles. At ION, we take a comprehensive approach to facial aesthetics. By combining neurotoxins with dermal fillers, we can address multiple areas and concerns all at once for facial harmony and total rejuvenation.
Anyone noticing moderate to severe wrinkles on the face, or those looking to balance facial features, are great candidate for BOTOX. Schedule a free consultation with one of our expert providers if you are unsure whether you are a candidate for BOTOX.
Most patients will experience lasting results for 3-4 months. If you are noticing your treatment is not lasting 3-4 months, speak with your provider about potentially increasing your dose.
There is virtually no downtime after a BOTOX treatment. You may experience “BOTOX bumps” or mild swelling and redness at the injection sites for a few minutes after the treatment. These bumps go away after 5-20 minutes. Bruising is less likely with a BOTOX treatment, but bruises may still occur. We recommend taking arnica before and after your treatment to limit bruising.
After your BOTOX treatment, avoid inverting your head or lying completely flat for 4 hours. You should avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for 12 hours after your treatment. We also recommend avoiding facials, face-down massages, and saunas for one week after your treatment.
Yes! BOTOX treatments are most effective when you remain consistent. Schedule your next appointment 3-4 months after your treatment. This will help prevent the wrinkles from getting deeper.
To prepare for your BOTOX treatment, avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol and taking pain killers including Advil, Tylenol, and Aspirin 2 days before your treatment. These substances have a mild blood-thinning effect and may slightly increase your chances of bruising. We also recommend refraining from supplements such as Vitamin E and fish oil 2 days before your treatment.
BOTOX treatment costs depend on multiple factors, including how many units you need for successful results and the brand of neurotoxin used. Many neurotoxins have similar effectiveness. You can speak with your provider to determine which neurotoxin is the right fit for you.
