There are a few different ways that neurotoxins can be used for cosmetic purposes. They can be used to address lines and wrinkles on the forehead and eye area (crow's feet), as well as lip lines. It may also be injected to soften the dimpling of the chin or into the muscles of the jaw to create a more slim appearance. In some cases, Botox may also be used by dermatologists to treat medical conditions such as hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating.

Neurotoxins (such as botulinum toxin type A) is an injection that is put into a certain area using a very thin needle. The neurotoxin blocks the nerve signals which stops the muscles in that area from contracting. This allows the skin to stay smooth and without wrinkles.

Neurotoxin treatments are quick and not painful. Most patients say they experience minimal discomfort during the injection process, but that it does not continue after the completion of the procedure. Because the treatment requires no anesthesia or recovery time, some patients even schedule appointments during their lunch hour and can return to work right after their appointment.

Each patient is different, but most will typically begin to notice results gradually between 3-7 days after receiving injections. For some, it may take up to 2 weeks to realize the final effects.

The results of a dermal filler injection will vary from person to person. Typically, the results will last from three to six months.

The nose may be injected to improve the shape and its contour.

Generally, basic dermal filler procedures don't require anesthesia because the dermal filler contains a local anesthetic. It is simple and straightforward--it involves a few tiny injections directly into the skin and takes between 15-30 minutes. Make-up can be applied immediately after the procedure and you can go straight back to work. The results of this treatment can be seen right away.

The number of treatments you need will vary depending on your individual situation, as well as the type of dermal filler is used.

The results of the treatment are seen immediately, but they gradually get better over the next few weeks.

PRP is not suitable for patients with complete hair loss or bald scalps, as PRP cannot help grow new hair on a bald area. PRP helps to make thin hair thicker by strengthening the hair follicles. This treatment has been shown to be effective for both men and women who are experiencing hair loss or thinning.

The recommended way to get the best results is to have 3-4 sessions, with 4 weeks between each session. After these treatments are done, some patients might need to have maintenance therapy once or twice a year, depending on how severe their hair loss is.

This makes tiny channels so that the plasma can go into your skin and hair growth is stimulated. The technique of injecting PRP is painless with the use of the Pistor injection gun and the process can be done in less than an hour.
