NEUROTOXINS (Botox®/DYSPORT®)

Neurotoxins (also known as BOTOX®, Dysport®, “tox”, neuromodulators or wrinkle relaxers) are best known for their ability to smooth fine lines and wrinkles - but there are many more amazing ways that they can be used in order to achieve your aesthetic and wellness goals. Treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), headaches, muscle tension, jaw pain, and more!

  • Align Aesthetic Lounge currently offers:

    • BOTOX® Cosmetic

    • Dysport®

    Both products are FDA approved in the US for select areas of the face, and are well-trusted and well-studied. Unsure on which one is right for you? Talk to Megan at your next appointment about your options or schedule a complimentary consultation.

  • While neurotoxins are best known for their wrinkle relaxing, anti-aging properties, they can also treat other areas of the face and body for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.

    Other benefits of neurotoxins:

    • Tightening of the neck and jawline

    • Treated excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) to the underarms, palms, and soles

    • Headache relief

    • Jaw pain relief

    • Muscle spasm relief

    • And more!

  • Results can start taking effect within a few days, but it can take up to 2 weeks to see your final result. A follow up visit is generally recommended to evaluate your results and touch up if needed.

  • Most areas we treat to the face and neck for cosmetic purposes last for an average of 3-4 months.

  • One of the best parts about neurotoxins is that there is no downtime! It is often referred to as the “lunchtime” procedure. The injections alone are quick, lasting an average of 10-15 minutes or less.

    There may be small, slightly red lumps at the injection sites immediately after treatment. These typically resolve within 30 minutes, but can take up to a few hours to fully go away.

  • I recommend scheduling approximately 4-6 weeks before any special event. This gives ample time for the initial appointment plus follow-up appointments to ensure the final result is perfect!
