Anti-wrinkle injectable treatments

Anti-wrinkle treatments, are performed by our Doctor’s at NEO and we use two approved products which are prescription only medicine’s that are injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe laughter lines and frown lines between the eyebrows. These treatments are suitable for both men and women.

Treatments work beneath the skin’s surface and target the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and laughter lines to form over time.

Our doctor’s will inject into the muscles that cause wrinkles, temporarily reducing the activity of those muscles. The result is a reduction in the appearance of those lines.

Anti-wrinkle treatments are also a proven option for severe underarm sweating when antiperspirants fail. This treatment temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands resulting in reduced sweating.

We use two available botulinum toxins at NEO Skin Lab, please ask us for more details. The medicine – a botulinum toxin that has been isolated from the bacteria – is safe to use and will not give you botulism.

1 unit of Botox® is equivalent to 2.5 units of Dysport®

Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

Botox® or Dysport® are injected into problem areas such as laughter lines around the eyes, frown lines and the forehead. These treatments work to relax targeted muscles and smooth lines and wrinkles. Results usually last 3-4 months.

Botox® vs Dysport®

Dysport® and Botox® are both type A botulinum toxin injections that treat and prevent wrinkles. Both treatments are as effective as each other.
