Neurotoxin Treatments: Everything You Need to Know (a.k.a. Botox®)

You’ve probably heard of Botox®, but did you know it’s actually just one type of neurotoxin treatment? At Kore Aesthetics, neurotoxin injectables are one of the most popular and effective ways to smooth wrinkles, refresh your appearance, and prevent future signs of aging.

Let’s break it all down so you can decide if this treatment is right for you.


What Is a Neurotoxin?

A neurotoxin is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes facial muscles. By gently preventing the muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles, neurotoxins help soften lines and prevent them from deepening.

Popular brands include:

  • Botox®

  • Dysport®

  • Xeomin®

  • Jeuveau®

Though the formulations vary slightly, all are FDA-approved and safe when administered by a trained professional.


‍ What Areas Can Neurotoxins Treat?

Neurotoxins are versatile and effective for treating:

Forehead lines
Frown lines (the “11s”)
Crow’s feet
Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
Lip lines and lip flips
Chin dimpling or pebble chin
Neck bands
Masseter (jaw slimming or TMJ relief)
Underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis)


Benefits of Neurotoxin Treatments

  • Smooths expression lines for a refreshed appearance

  • Quick in-office treatment (10–15 minutes)

  • No downtime required

  • Subtle, natural-looking results

  • Preventative benefits for younger clients

  • May relieve tension headaches, jaw clenching, or migraines


What to Expect at Your Appointment

  1. Consultation: Your provider will assess your goals and facial anatomy.

  2. Treatment: Small amounts of neurotoxin are precisely injected using a fine needle.

  3. Aftercare: Avoid lying down, touching the area, or exercising for about 4–6 hours.

Most clients report only mild discomfort—similar to a quick pinch.


When Will I See Results?

Expect to see results start within 3–5 days, with full effects in 10–14 days. Your smoother, more rested appearance can last 3 to 4 months, depending on your body and lifestyle.


Is It Safe?

Yes! Neurotoxins have been used safely for both cosmetic and medical purposes for decades. At Kore Aesthetics, our experienced, licensed injectors use advanced techniques to deliver results that look refreshed—not frozen.


Common Myths (Debunked)

Myth 1: “Neurotoxins will freeze my face.”
Not true. When done right, you’ll still express yourself—just with fewer creases.

Myth 2: “I’m too young or too old.”
Preventative treatments are popular in the 20s and 30s, but neurotoxins benefit clients of all ages.

Myth 3: “The results are permanent.”
Results gradually fade over 3–4 months. Regular treatments help maintain a youthful look.
