Neurotoxins are substances that can be injected into the face to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They block your facial muscles from connecting with facial nerves, which causes your muscles to be inactive. Your muscles will become smooth in the areas we inject neurotoxins, which also causes your skin to appear smooth. We can use neurotoxins to treat:
Smile lines
Frown lines
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet
When you contact our office, we can determine if you are a well-suited candidate for neurotoxin services.
What Kind of Neurotoxin Services Do We Offer in South Florida?
At Palm Beach Dermatology Group, we offer several different kinds of neurotoxin services, including:
Jeuveau
Jeuveau is generally only used for cosmetic purposes. Many patients see results within two days after their Jeuveau treatment.
Xeomin
Xeomin is unique in that it undergoes a filtration process to remove proteins that do not affect its treatment capabilities. You can generally see results three to four days after treatment, and they ordinarily last three months.
Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin are FDA-approved and safe for qualifying patients. Our doctors will assess your condition and suggest which treatment is right for you. It’s important to remember that none of these neurotoxin services are permanent. For long-term results, you may need to receive injections more than once a year.
Botox
Botox can improve the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. It generally takes effect within 24 to 48 hours of treatment, and most patients notice that their results last about four months.
Dysport
We may recommend Dysport if you plan to treat frown lines between your eyebrows. Dysport is typically injected in five spots above and between your eyebrows to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
You’ll generally see results in two to three days after treatment, and your results may last up to five months.
Tips
What Do Neurotoxins Treat?
While neurotoxins are frequently used in cosmetic dermatology, they have many medical uses, too. According to Mayo Clinic, neurotoxin injections such as Botox can help treat conditions such as:
Muscle spasms: Eye twitching, neck muscle contractions, and cerebral palsy can cause uncomfortable muscle spasms that can be treated with neurotoxin injections.
Lazy eye: Uneven muscles used for eye movement can cause a lazy eye.
Excessive sweating: Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a condition that causes your body to produce a lot of sweat, even in circumstances when you aren’t hot.
Migraines: If you get frequent migraines, you might be a strong candidate for neurotoxin injections. Migraines may require multiple treatments throughout the year.
Overactive bladder: If you have to use the bathroom frequently, neurotoxin injections may be the solution you need.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment at Palm Beach Dermatology Group
Before we can perform neurotoxin services, we will advise you to stop using over-the-counter medications, aspirin, and ibuprofen for at least two weeks before your injections. You should also be ready to answer questions about:
Any allergies you have, including medications you’re allergic to.
Your medical history and any conditions you’ve been diagnosed with.
If you are pregnant.
Any medications you are taking.
Whether you have had any neurotoxin treatments before, and if so, what brand you chose.
Typically, the ideal candidate for neurotoxin injections is between 18 and 65 years old. Our doctors will listen to the details of your situation to determine if this service will benefit you.
Diagnosis
What You Can Expect During and After Your Neurotoxin Injection Appointment
When you come in for your appointment, our team will prepare you for treatment and explain what you can expect. We will make you feel as comfortable as possible and ensure you know what to do after treatment. Make sure you inform your doctor of any concerns you have before getting started.
Typically, we will numb your skin before injecting the neurotoxin. We can use anesthesia or ice so you don’t feel much pain during treatment. Our doctors will use a thin needle to inject small amounts of the neurotoxin into your skin.
After your appointment, there are a few things you should do:
Changes you’ve noticed in your mole
Any medications you take
Your history (and your family’s history) of skin cancer
