Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins
Having wrinkles and fine lines on our faces can make us look and feel older and less confident. Injectable neurotoxins, also known as neuromodulators, can reduce wrinkles and fine lines, give you smoother skin, and help you look younger overall! Neurotoxins work by preventing the contraction of your muscles in and around the problem areas. Units Injection Spa offers three of the most popular and up-to-date injectables, Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, and Jeuveau, which will help you look and feel your very best!
Typically, these treatments can be performed in less than fifteen minutes and require little to no downtime. Typically, you will notice a difference within a few days, but it may take up to two weeks for optimal results to appear. The effects of neurotoxin injections typically last for 3 to 4 months; however, the benefits may become prolonged with regular injections.

Treatments
Forehead Lines
You can prevent and treat forehead wrinkles and lines by using neurotoxins to keep your face and skin looking young and vibrant. We often treat the forehead in conjunction with the scowl lines to achieve a balanced and natural result.
Scowl Lines
The little lines that appear between your eyebrows when you wrinkle your brows are called the “11”s. These wrinkles can be eliminated with the help of neurotoxin injections, which will leave you looking smoother and more refreshed.
Bunny Lines
Those little wrinkles on your nose that appear when you scrunch it are called bunny lines. These lines can be faded quickly with a quick injection of neurotoxin, leaving behind smooth and beautiful skin.
Brow Lift
This is a quick solution for your tired eyes. Lifting the eyebrows with neurotoxin injections (what are those anyway?) results in a more youthful and awake appearance. Let’s compliment your natural beauty!
Crow's Feet
Those pesky little lines etched around the outer corners of the eyes are called crow’s feet, but with a few quick injections, you can smooth those fine lines for wrinkle-free skin and a fresh and young look!
Lip Lines / Lip Flip
More smiles, fewer wrinkles? Yes, please! Just a quick treatment of neuromodulation injections produces smooth skin on your smile line and around your eyes, resulting in a youthful look. You may also want a lip flip for fuller-looking lips by injecting a neurotoxin into the lip line.
Dimpled Chin
Products like neuromodulators can be used to treat the “Orange Peel” look on the chin. The product will smooth out your skin when you apply it, make it look more youthful, and give you a natural, relaxed appearance.
Platysma (Vertical Neck Cords)
Platysma muscles run down the back of your neck more prominently when you clench your jaw. These muscles can be treated with a neurotoxin, which can create a temporary improvement making it appear that you have fewer wrinkles around the side of your neck.
Hyperhidrosis treatment
Neurotoxin is injected into the skin to treat symptoms of severe underarm sweating. Neurotoxins can also be used on the palms of the hand and bottom of the foot to treat sweating.
Masseter (TMJ) / Face Slimming
Are you often grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw often? This is known as TMJ, and when used in higher doses, neurotoxin injections can actually reduce these symptoms while slimming the face.
Headache/ Migraine Relief
Injections of a botulinum neurotoxin are often used to help relieve migraines and tension headaches caused by muscle contractions in the lower face, head, and neck. The injections can also suppress pain related to injuries such as sprains and tears or unexpected joint instability.

After Care
- Small bumps and marks will disappear within a few hours of your treatment. Some bruising may occur. If this happens, do not worry since it will only be temporary and can be easily masked with makeup. A little bit of bruising may last for a week.
- For 24 hours after your treatment, avoid facials, rubs, and massages, including any type of microdermabrasion or other activities that may affect the injection sites.
- Due to the risk of infection, it is recommended to not apply any cosmetics, moisturizer, or SPF for 12 hours post-procedure, do not apply anything to cause pressure or discomfort.
- DO not lay down flat for at least four hours post-injection.
- Avoid exercise for 24 hours.
- The effects of Botox last approximately 3-4 months. Treatment results may last longer than four months if you keep your appointments at the frequency recommended.
* It is important to avoid lying down for an entire 4 hour period after the injection. This includes lying down for facials, exercising, massages, doctor’s appointments, napping, etc. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t notice a change right away. Botox can take three to five days to take effect and up to 2 weeks to be at its “final” stage.
