Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins, including Botox, are a cornerstone of the advanced aesthetic treatments offered at The Intimate Makeover with Dr. Helen Otteno. These powerful, non-surgical injectables are designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for creating them. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance that can be achieved with minimal downtime.
Benefits of Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins offer a range of benefits, including:
Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
These treatments effectively smooth out common wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines, creating a more youthful appearance.
Quick and Convenient
Treatments are quick, typically taking only 15-30 minutes, and require no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately.
Natural-Looking Results
When administered by an experienced professional like Dr. Otteno, neurotoxin injections provide subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your features without looking overdone.
Preventative Care
Regular treatments can help prevent the formation of deeper wrinkles, maintaining a youthful look over time.
How Do Neurotoxin Treatments Work?
Neurotoxins work by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When these muscles are relaxed, the skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Botox is one of the most well-known and widely used neurotoxins, but other options, such as Dysport and Xeomin, are also available. Dr. Otteno will work with you to determine the best treatment option based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
