Other Neurotoxins

More Options Than Just BOTOX®: Other Neurotoxin Treatments

At Carroll Dermatology, we offer a range of FDA-approved neuromodulators (neurotoxins) that help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. While BOTOX® is the most widely recognized brand, there are several other neurotoxins, such as Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, that deliver similar results, each with unique properties that may suit individual patient needs.

Why They’re Used

You know those pesky little wrinkles between your eyebrows that won’t go away? Well, they’re called glabellar lines, or “frown lines.” Jeuveau® is an injectable treatment that works to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines in adults.

• Reduce Wrinkles & Fine Lines : Neurotoxins help create a smoother, more youthful appearance without surgery.
• Prevent New Lines : Regular treatments can help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time.
• Quick & Non-Surgical : BOTOX® and other neurotoxin procedures are minimally invasive with little downtime, making them popular for busy lifestyles.
  

Neurotoxins Overview: BOTOX^®

When injected, Jeuveau® temporarily prevents your nerves from telling your facial muscles to flex. The result? In clinical trials, Jeuveau® was shown to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines.

Common Areas Treated with BOTOX®:

• Forehead lines (horizontal lines from raising the eyebrows)
• Frown lines (also known as “11 lines” between the eyebrows)
• Crow’s feet (fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes)
  
• Bunny lines (lines on the sides of the nose)
  
• Chin dimpling (a pebbled or wrinkled appearance on the chin)
• Jawline slimming (masseter muscle)
• Neck bands (platysmal bands)

How Long Does BOTOX® Last?

• Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days after treatment.
• Full results are usually visible by 2 weeks.
• Effects generally last 3 to 4 months, though this can vary depending on individual factors like metabolism, muscle activity, and dosage.
  

To maintain results, regular treatments every 3 to 4 months are recommended.

These other neurotoxins, as mentioned, can also be used for other areas of the face, such as but not limited to masseters, chin, nose, lips (lip flips or “smoker’s lines”), and platysma bands. You can ask a provider at your appointment if these treatments are right for you.
