Expert Neurotoxin Treatments for Wrinkle Reduction
Discover how expertly administered neurotoxins at Navigo Family Health NP can safely and effectively soften expression lines like crow's feet and frown lines, revealing a smoother, more rested, and naturally youthful appearance.
How Neurotoxins Reduce Wrinkles
Neurotoxins work by targeting the communication pathway between nerves and specific muscles responsible for forming dynamic wrinkles (lines caused by expressions). Here's the process:
Small, precise amounts of the purified neurotoxin are injected directly into the muscles that cause wrinkles like frown lines or crow's feet.
The neurotoxin temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that tells muscles to contract.
Unable to receive the contraction signal, the targeted muscle relaxes. As the muscle rests, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of existing dynamic wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming in that area.
Why Choose Neurotoxin Injections?
Neurotoxin treatments are a popular choice for facial rejuvenation for several compelling reasons. They offer a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to address common signs of aging related to facial expressions:
Effective Wrinkle Reduction
Neurotoxins are highly effective at smoothing dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet, frown lines (between the brows), and forehead lines, leading to a visibly smoother and more youthful appearance.
Minimally Invasive & Quick
The treatment involves simple injections with minimal discomfort and typically takes only 10-15 minutes. There's no surgery required, allowing you to return to most daily activities immediately.
Natural-Looking Results
When administered by an expert like Johanne Jasmin, FNP-BC, results appear natural, preserving your ability to express emotion. Regular treatments can also help prevent dynamic wrinkles from becoming deeper or permanent over time.
Common Areas for Neurotoxin Treatment
Neurotoxins are most effective on dynamic wrinkles – those formed by repeated muscle movements. Our expert injections precisely target these muscles for optimal smoothing. Here are the most popular treatment areas:
Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines)
Smooth the vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows (often called "11s"). Relaxing these muscles creates a softer, less concerned or angry appearance.
Forehead Lines
Soften the horizontal lines across the forehead that become more prominent when raising your eyebrows. Treatment results in a smoother forehead while maintaining natural expression.
Crow's Feet (Periocular Lines)
Reduce the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes, often more noticeable when smiling or squinting. Treatment helps open up the eye area for a more rested look.
