Expert Wrinkle Relaxation & Medical Applications
Smooth away years of expression lines with precision neurotoxin treatments. Using advanced injection techniques and medical-grade neuromodulators, Dr. Heyns delivers natural-looking results that soften wrinkles while preserving your unique facial expressions and character.
What Are Neurotoxin Injections?
Neurotoxin treatments, also known as neuromodulators or wrinkle relaxers, are purified proteins that temporarily relax specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These medical-grade treatments work by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, smoothing existing lines and preventing the formation of deeper wrinkles.
Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, neurotoxins address the root cause of expression lines by reducing muscle contractions. This preventative approach not only treats existing wrinkles but also slows the aging process when administered regularly by an experienced practitioner.
How Neurotoxin Treatments Work
When injected precisely into specific facial muscles, neurotoxins temporarily block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscles to contract. This controlled relaxation:
- Softens existing dynamic wrinkles
- Prevents deeper lines from forming
- Allows skin to smooth and regenerate
- Maintains natural facial movement when properly administered
Results appear gradually over 3-7 days, reaching full effect at 14 days, with benefits lasting 3-4 months on average.
