4Ever Young Anti Aging Solutions in Weston, FL, is the premier provider for injectable neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport.
Originally, neurotoxins were formulated to help address medical conditions like muscle spasms, migraines, and cerebral palsy. However, the more we’ve learned about neurotoxins, the more we recognize their many uses, including their powerful anti-aging properties.
“Neurotoxin” simply describes a substance that affects the nervous system. Injectable neurotoxins work to relax or paralyze your muscles, which are controlled by your nervous system. Neurotoxins are FDA-approved, safe, and effective.
How do we use injectable neurotoxins in our anti-aging cosmetic procedures?
When used for anti-aging treatments, neurotoxins are injected into the skin or muscles to help relax areas that cause dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are any wrinkles created by your natural facial expressions. These wrinkles can be visible in your 20s but become more pronounced as you age.
Injectable neurotoxins work by temporarily paralyzing your muscles so you stop overusing them, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Although the paralysis is temporary (lasting anywhere from a few to several months), injectable neurotoxins can indirectly cause long-term results.
The more consistently you keep up with maintenance injections, the more you’ll train your face to stop overusing those muscles, resulting in smoother skin over time.
Injectable neurotoxin procedures are minimally invasive and don’t require any downtime. The results are nearly immediate, showing through within just a few days. Injection appointments are also quite fast, typically lasting less than an hour.
Plus, they require little-to-no maintenance for the patient. You can maintain your lifestyle routine and use the same skincare products while still enjoying your results!
At 4Ever Young Anti Aging Solutions , we treat patients 18 and older since that’s the minimum age approved by the FDA for injectable neurotoxins.
Although the baseline age is 18, most patients should wait until their mid to late 20s before starting Botox or Dysport treatment.
While that may seem too young to some, there are plenty of reasons many of our patients in their 20s want to start neurotoxin treatments.
If you’re in your 20s and are experiencing signs of aging like deep forehead wrinkles, injectable neurotoxins could be a viable solution.
Additionally, if your family history is particularly wrinkle-prone, injectable neurotoxins could be an excellent preventative treatment to maintain younger-looking skin as you age.
At 4Ever Young Anti Aging Solutions , we offer treatments for all approved ages. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your regular facial expressions for younger patients to determine where wrinkles are likely to develop if they haven’t already.
For elderly patients, we use either Botox, Dysport, or a combination of both to help you achieve smoother-looking skin on fine lines and wrinkles around your forehead, eyes, and mouth.
While injectable neurotoxins are an excellent way to combat dynamic wrinkles, what about wrinkles caused by gravity or loss of volume?
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and collagen. This is a natural part of the aging process, but it’s not something neurotoxins can address adequately. In this case, we create a treatment plan for our patients that includes both neurotoxin injections and dermal fillers.
At 4Ever Young Anti Aging Solutions , we use dermal fillers and neurotoxins to design custom anti-aging treatments for our patients. Although these injectables are similar in application, we use them quite differently.
We’ve already established that neurotoxins help defy dynamic wrinkles. On the other hand, dermal fillers help plump up and smooth out skin that appears aged from volume loss.
We apply injectable neurotoxins to wrinkles around the forehead, mouth, and eyes while injecting dermal fillers into the cheeks, neck, jawline, and hands to help contour and smooth.
The main ingredient in neurotoxin injections is a compound called botulinum, while dermal fillers are typically formulated with hyaluronic acid or a similar substance.
Neurotoxins can offer long-term effects in the form of helping you learn to use your expressive muscles less. Dermal fillers can also have long-term effects when they help stimulate your skin’s collagen production.
Neither is better than the other. They are both useful anti-aging tools often used together to help patients achieve their goals.
Botox and Dysport treatment are formulated similarly and have nearly identical functions. To the untrained eye, the differences between the two may seem subtle, but they’re actually quite significant!
Botox treatment is a highly potent formula. Because of this, our medical providers typically inject Botox into small treatment sites, like the crow’s feet around your eyes.
On the other hand, Dysport is formulated to spread out rather than stay isolated to its injection site. For this reason, our medical providers usually inject Dysport into the forehead and other larger surface areas. This helps the patient have effective yet natural-looking results.
Although they are quick, minimally invasive, and simple procedures, neurotoxin treatments require an understanding of human anatomy in order to give patients the best results possible.
4Ever Young Anti Aging Solutions has the medical knowledge and personnel to deliver those results. Our trained medical experts know how to evaluate each patient and their treatment goals to determine an individual plan for success.
When we meet a new patient, we evaluate their skin and expressions in order to identify which treatment types they need (dermal fillers, neurotoxins, or both). We also determine how many units they need and their maintenance schedule to maintain results.
At 4Ever Young Anti Aging Solutions in Weston, FL, every team member receives significant medical training and must have several years of experience in cosmetic medicine before performing treatments on patients.
