Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins such as Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau offer a range of benefits beyond their cosmetic applications. At Embrace Medspa in Torrance, CA, these neurotoxins are used to address not only aesthetic concerns but also provide relief for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, headaches, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

Neurotoxins work by temporarily relaxing the muscles, blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This relaxation effect can be beneficial for various conditions. In terms of appearance, neurotoxins can treat dynamic wrinkles, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. For individuals experiencing TMJ disorders, the injections can help relax the jaw muscles and alleviate pain or discomfort. Neurotoxins are also effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of tension headaches and migraines. Additionally, they can target hyperhidrosis by blocking the signals that stimulate sweat production.

Results from neurotoxin treatments can be seen within a few days, with the full effects becoming apparent within 1-2 weeks. The duration of results varies, typically lasting between 3-4 months for aesthetic purposes. For TMJ and headache relief, results may vary, but patients often experience relief for several months. The duration of hyperhidrosis treatment results can also vary but can last up to 6-9 months.

About Neurotoxins

What They Are

All are a class of injectables called “Neurotoxins”, which reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful look.

How They Work

Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and other neurotoxins target the underlying causes of wrinkles and frown lines. We inject small doses into the end of a nerve to temporarily block its impulses and allow facial muscles to relax.

What To Expect

Treatment only takes 10-15 minutes, and a few tiny injections. You can be in and out on your lunch break! Noticeable results should appear 3-5 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post treatment.
