Neurotoxins in San Mateo, CA
Botox Treatment
Neurotoxins such as Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Dysport are injectable treatments designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles temporarily. These neurotoxins work by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, reducing their activity and minimizing the formation of wrinkles. Popular treatment areas include forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and other facial wrinkles. The use of neurotoxins can also be useful for controlling excessive sweating and muscle spasms in some medical conditions. Each neurotoxin type offers similar results, with subtle differences in formulation and longevity.

There is usually an immediate effect, lasting about 3 to 4 months, and it usually takes 3 to 7 days for results to appear.

To maintain results, follow-up treatments are typically recommended every few months. Book an appointment with The Space Aesthetics Medical Spa in San Mateo, CA.
