Neurotoxins
Botox is a medication that has been used for years to treat wrinkles and facial creases. Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle is unable to contract therefore you are not able to see the fold, making the wrinkles relax and soften.
ABLC offers five different types of neurotoxins: Daxxify, Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. Trying to determine which neurotoxin is the best for you? Book a complimentary consultation with one of our many educated consultants for more information. Must be medically cleared and consulted before booking treatment.
Pre-treatment:
Approximately 3 days before treatment avoid topical products such as Tretinoin, Retin-A, Retinols, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, or other “anti-aging” products. To help prevent bruising avoid Aspirin, Flax oil, Omega-3 capsules (fish oils), antibiotics, dietary supplements, and any other essential fatty acids.
Post-treatment:
Immediately after your procedure and for 24 hours you should avoid the following:
Strenuous exercise or heavy lifting
Sun exposure/heat exposure/tanning beds
Alcoholic Beverages
Massaging or applying pressure where treated

Xeomin
Xeomin® is made through a unique precision manufacturing process called XTRACT Technology™, that uses two filtration steps to isolate the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the complexing/unnecessary proteins that don’t play an active role in treatment. Xeomin® is a double filtered neurotoxin.
Dysport
Dysport temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau® (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used in adults for a short period of time (temporary) to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
Botox
BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults.
Daxxify
The only long-lasting, peptide-powered frown line treatment. Can last double the amount of time as your current neurotoxin.
