Dynamic wrinkles form over time due to repetitive facial movements, such as frowning, squinting, and raising the eyebrows. Neurotoxins work by:

1. Blocking Nerve Signals: The injected neuromodulator temporarily interrupts the communication between nerves and muscles.

2. Relaxing the Muscles: Without strong contractions, the skin above the muscle remains smooth and relaxed.

3. Reducing Wrinkles: Over the next few days, fine lines and wrinkles soften, giving a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

• Procedure Time: Quick and minimally invasive, typically 10-20 minutes

• Results: Start to appear within 3-7 days, with full effects in about 14 days

• Duration: Typically lasts 3-4 months, depending on the individual and treatment area

• Downtime: Minimal to none, with some patients experiencing slight redness or swelling at the injection site

Adverse Reactions:

• The most common adverse reactions following cosmetic injections are headaches, brow ptosis, eyelid ptosis, eyelid edema, facial pain, facial paresis, and muscle weakness. If you are considering being injected, please note these are always possible no matter the product or place of injections. Proper precautions are taken to avoid these at all costs.

• other adverse reactions / common side effects include: stuffy or runny nose, upper respiratory infection, blood in urine, swelling of the eyelids, drooping eyelids, sinus infection, nausea

Patients should be advised to seek immediate medical care if swallowing, speech, or respiratory disorders occur.

• Dysphagia and Breathing Difficulties: These products can result in swallowing or breathing difficulties. Patients with pre-exisiting swallowing or breathing difficulties are more susceptible.

Serious and/or immediate hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. These include anaphylaxis, serum sickness, urticaria, soft-tissue edema, and dyspnea. If such reactions occur, further injectors should be discontinued and appropriate medical therapy immediately instituted.

There have been reports of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, some with fatal outcomes. Some of these patients had risk factors including pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Please proceed with caution if this attains to you.

Patients with neuromuscular disorders may be at increased risk of clinically significant effects including generalized weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia, and respiratory compromise.

Dry Eye has been reported with use of cosmetic injections. If symptoms occur (eye irritation, photophobia, visual changes) persist, additional medical help may be necessary.

Drug Interactions with other medications you are taking may cause the toxin injected to be potentiated. Please share all current medications on your medical history form to avoid being injected while taking medications known to cause this reaction.

Infection is always a risk when the skin barrier is penetrated.
