Wrinkle Treatment

What Is a Neurotoxin and How Does It Work?

Neurotoxins, such as Botox®, Xeomin®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau®, are among the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. These injectable treatments temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, softening expression lines and restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance. By limiting repetitive muscle contractions, neurotoxins help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time.

At Prestige MedSpa in Columbia, MD, we proudly offer all four FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectables, ensuring every patient receives a treatment tailored to their unique needs and goals:

  • BOTOX® – the original and most widely known neurotoxin, ideal for smoothing forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and platysma bands on the neck.
  • Xeomin® – a pure-form neurotoxin free from accessory proteins, reducing the risk of resistance over time.
  • Dysport® – known for its fast onset and wide diffusion, making it perfect for treating larger areas or broader facial zones.
  • Jeuveau® – designed exclusively for cosmetic use, offering modern wrinkle reduction with a focus on aesthetic enhancement.
