Neurotoxins in Destin, FL
Neurotoxins are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that reduces wrinkles and fine lines. By temporarily blocking nerve signals, the therapy prevents specific muscle contractions. This relaxing of the muscles smooths out the overlying skin, reducing dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Neurotoxins can also be used for other purposes, such as treating excessive sweating, migraines, and specific muscle disorders. The treatment is quick, typically taking only a few minutes, with no need for anesthesia, and it is commonly performed in a medical spa or clinic setting.
