Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins are widely recognized as an effective cosmetic treatment that can transform your skin by reducing wrinkles and fine lines and addressing signs of aging, enhancing your inner vitality and external radiance. At Youth Lab, we know your outer appearance plays a big role in confidence and overall wellbeing, book your personalized consultation with our experts today to discuss your needs.
What are Neurotoxins and How Do They Work?
Neurotoxins, also called neuromodulators, are injectable treatments containing botulinum toxin. This active ingredient interrupts the signal between your nerve and targeted muscles, leading to less muscle movement. This creates a smoother, more wrinkle-free appearance.
We typically apply treatments to dynamic areas of your face, such as your forehead lines, crow’s feet around your eyes, and the glabellar lines, the frown lines found between your eyebrows. But neurotoxins can be used to treat almost any area of your face, from lip to marionette lines and even dimples.
Neurotoxins like Botox, Jeuveau, and Dysport can diminish the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines that develop from habitual muscle actions in these areas, such as furrowing your brow, pursing your lips, squinting, or smiling.

The Benefits of Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau
We use three specific neurotoxin brands, Botox, Jeuveau, and Dysport. Each offers several benefits if you’re looking for rejuvenation from neurotoxin treatment.
- See Changes After One Treatment. A notable benefit of both Dysport, Jeveau, and Botox treatments is that visible improvements can be observed within two weeks. Although the effects of these procedures require regular maintenance, our clients appreciate witnessing significant changes after just a single session of injections.
- Minimally Invasive with No Downtime. Botox, Jeuveau, and Dysport treatments are quick and easy, typically requiring only 15-30 minutes per treatment. The injections are simple, quick, and painless. Following the treatment, you can return to your daily routine without any recovery time necessary.
- Evidence-Based Treatments. Botox, Jeuveau, and Dysport are all reputable, FDA-approved treatments that meet the highest standards of aesthetic care. Botox is notably one of the oldest and most time-trusted cosmetic procedures. It was developed in the 1970s and granted FDA approval in 1989.
The biggest benefit our patients enjoy is how these neurotoxins reduce wrinkles and signs of aging in a natural-looking way.
Treatment Areas of Neurotoxins
Most people know neurotoxins can be used to treat forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and frown lines. However, they’re much more versatile, here are some target treatment areas using Botox, Jeuveau, and Dysport.
- Cheek dimpling. Cheek dimples can be dramatic or asymmetrical, and Botox can temporarily relax your muscles responsible for dimpling, giving your cheeks a smoother look.
- Marionette lines. These lines run downward from the corners of your mouth, giving your face a sad appearance. Botox can relax your muscles that pull down the corners of your mouth (depressor anguli oris), allowing the corners of your mouth to lift slightly and softening the appearance of marionette lines.
- Smile lines. Also known as nasolabial folds, wrinkling in the area between your nose and mouth often results from a loss in volume. However, Botox can be helpful in relaxing the overall appearance of smile lines if applied to adjacent muscles.
- Masseters. Often referred to as “jaw Botox,” this treatment is applied to the masseter muscle, which helps in chewing and connects your lower jawbone to your cheekbone. Botox in this area can alleviate jaw pain and clenching, reduce teeth grinding, and provide facial contouring.
- Lip lines. Also called "smoker's lines" or "lipstick lines," these vertical wrinkles appear around your lips. Botox can be injected in very small doses around your lip area to relax your orbicularis oris muscle, which is responsible for puckering and pursing actions. This can help smooth out wrinkles around your lips and prevent deepening of these lines.
