ABOUT THE TREATMENT
Neurotoxins work by temporarily reducing targeted muscle movement that causes expression lines to appear.
At The Real Skin Medical Center, we offer Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, choosing the product and placement based on how your face naturally moves and the result you want to see.

RECOVERY + RESULTS
After Your Appointment
There is typically little downtime after neurotoxin treatment. Temporary redness, tenderness, or small bumps around the injection sites may occur after treatment. Results begin developing in the days following your appointment, with timing varying by product and individual response. Because neurotoxin is temporary, maintenance treatments can be scheduled as your results begin to wear off.
