Typical Neurotoxin Treatment Areas
Every face is unique, which is why a thorough neurotoxin consultation is the first step. At Refresh Aesthetics, we take the time to understand your goals and determine the best treatment areas to achieve smooth, natural-looking results that feel true to you.
Forehead Lines
- Say goodbye to those stubborn horizontal creases. A little neurotoxin here smooths the surface and keeps your forehead looking relaxed and refreshed.
Glabellar Lines (11s)
- Those “11s” between your brows can make you look stressed even on your best days. Softening them creates a calmer, more approachable expression.
Crow's Feet
- The laugh lines by your eyes tell your story, but they don’t need to take center stage. Neurotoxins soften crow’s feet so your eyes sparkle without the extra crinkles.
Fine Lines around the Lips
- Also called smoker’s lines, these little vertical creases can sneak up over time. A subtle touch keeps your lips smooth and defined.
Neck Bands
- Platysma bands can give away more than you’d like. Treating them helps smooth and refine the neck for a youthful, elegant profile.
Brow Lift
- Tired of looking tired? A gentle lift with neurotoxin brightens the eyes and creates a more open, refreshed look.
Bunny Lines (Bridge of Nose)
- Those scrunchy little lines on the sides of your nose are cute but not always welcome. A quick treatment softens them for a smoother midface.
Lip Flip
- Want a fuller-looking pout without filler? A lip flip relaxes the upper lip so just a little more of your natural lip shows.
Chin (Dimpling)
- A dimpled or pebbled chin can be softened with neurotoxin, giving your lower face a smoother, more polished finish.

How Does Neurotoxin Work?
Neurotoxins target the small facial muscles responsible for creating expression lines. By temporarily relaxing these muscles, treatments smooth existing wrinkles and help prevent new ones from forming — all while keeping your natural expressions intact.
Here’s what happens during treatment:
-
Blocks nerve signals – Prevents repetitive movements like squinting or frowning.
-
Relaxes targeted muscles – Softens wrinkles on the surface of the skin.
-
Smooths and refreshes – Creates a more youthful, relaxed appearance.
-
Delivers lasting results – Improvements typically appear within days and last for several months.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Amanda Hartman, MSN/RN: Lead Cosmetic Injector
Your appointment will begin with a consultation where we discuss your personal skin concerns and desired outcome. We will determine the ideal dosage and placement based on your facial anatomy and goals.
Neurotoxin treatments are quick and typically take less than fifteen minutes. You may feel a slight pinch during the injections, but discomfort is minimal. There is no downtime, so you can get back to your day right away.
Results usually begin to appear within a few days, with full effects visible at around two weeks. Most treatments last three to four months, and with consistent sessions, results can be maintained for longer periods.
Pre-Care Instructions
-
Stop using blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, at least 7 days before your treatment unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
-
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment to lower the risk of bruising.
-
Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your procedure to support the best possible results.
-
Inform your provider about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking.
-
Postpone other facial treatments, such as chemical peels or laser procedures, for at least two weeks before your neurotoxin appointment.
Post-Care Instructions
-
Do not touch, press, or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours to allow the neurotoxin to settle properly.
-
Avoid lying flat or bending forward excessively for the first 4 hours after treatment.
-
Skip strenuous exercise or intense activity for 24 to 48 hours to minimize swelling or discomfort.
-
Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours to help reduce the risk of bruising.
-
Protect treated areas from direct sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly.
-
If you notice mild swelling, gently apply a cold compress to reduce inflammation and improve comfort.
Types of Neurotoxin
Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften existing lines and help prevent new ones from forming. Several FDA-approved brands are available, each with unique qualities.
- Botox® is the most recognized and widely used option for areas such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles.
- Dysport® diffuses more easily, making it a popular choice for larger treatment areas.
- Daxxify® is the newest on the market and is known for its longer-lasting results, often up to six months or more.
- Xeomin® contains only the purified botulinum toxin without added proteins, which may reduce the risk of resistance.
- Jeuveau®, sometimes referred to as “Newtox,” is another modern alternative developed for smoothing moderate to severe frown lines.

Neurotoxin FAQs
What is Neurotoxin?
Neurotoxins are injectable treatments derived from a purified protein that temporarily softens expression lines by blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles. At Refresh Aesthetics, we use trusted brands like Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, and Jeuveau to help you look naturally refreshed.
When can I expect results with Neurotoxin injections?
Results typically begin to appear within a few days, with optimal smoothing seen around 1–2 weeks post-treatment. Most clients enjoy effects for about three to four months, with some brands or consistent use producing even longer-lasting results.
Will I look frozen with Neurotoxin?
Not at all. Our goal is a refreshed, natural look with preserved expression. Skilled placement ensures you still emote, just with fewer lines to show.
Can Neurotoxin treatments be used in multiple areas at once?
Yes, neurotoxins are incredibly versatile. Common combinations include forehead lines, “11s,” crow’s feet, bunny lines, lip flip, and neck bands. We tailor each treatment based on your goals and facial anatomy for harmonious results.
Can Neurotoxin treatments be used in multiple areas at once?
Yes. Neurotoxins can be safely and effectively used in several areas during the same appointment. Common treatment areas include the forehead, glabellar lines (11s), crow’s feet, bunny lines, lip lines, chin dimpling, and neck bands. At Refresh Aesthetics, treatments are customized to your unique anatomy and goals to ensure balanced, natural-looking results.
What is the difference between Neurotoxins?
Brands differ slightly in onset, diffusion, purity, and duration. For example:
-
Dysport may act faster and spread more broadly, making it great for larger areas.
-
Xeomin offers a pure formulation, reducing the chance of resistance over time.
-
Daxxify is known for longer-lasting results—up to six months in some cases.
At Refresh Aesthetics, Amanda guides your choice of neurotoxin based on your skin, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
Can you combine Neurotoxin with other treatments?
Absolutely. Neurotoxins pair beautifully with dermal fillers, microneedling, IPL, or radiofrequency devices. Combining treatments can provide comprehensive, natural rejuvenation with optimized results in fewer sessions.
Can Neurotoxin prevent the formation of future wrinkles?
Yes. By reducing repetitive muscle activity, neurotoxins help prevent dynamic wrinkles from becoming permanent etched lines. Over time, this proactive approach supports smoother skin long-term.
Are there any side effects with Neurotoxin Treatments?
When administered by qualified professionals like us, side effects are rare and typically mild:
-
Temporary redness, bruising, or localized swelling
-
Mild headache or temporary drooping
-
Very rare unintended muscle weakness, which resolves over time
Because Amanda Hartman, RN, MSN, applies advanced training and precision, you’ll receive the safest, most comfortable care tailored to your needs.
