Neurotoxins

Look 21 again
& feel great!

Dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines and crow’s feet, are a natural part of aging but can be frustrating to manage. Neurotoxins offer an effective way to soften these lines with subtle yet visible results. At Pure Envy MedSpa in Orlando, we take a holistic, results-driven approach to neurotoxins. Our goal is to provide treatments that deliver noticeable improvements while maintaining a natural look. With every session, we want to help you experience the benefits of targeted care that fits seamlessly into your routine.

What Are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are purified proteins used in cosmetic treatments to temporarily reduce the activity of specific muscles. These proteins, derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, are carefully formulated to block nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. By affecting the underlying muscle movement responsible for dynamic wrinkles, neurotoxins can create a smoother surface on the skin without affecting surrounding areas. This treatment is commonly used for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows.

How Do Neurotoxins Work?

The mechanism behind neurotoxins involves temporarily interrupting the communication between nerves and muscles. When injected, the neurotoxin binds to nerve endings at the injection site, preventing the release of acetylcholine, a chemical responsible for signaling muscle contractions. Without this signal, the treated muscles remain in a relaxed state, which prevents the skin from folding and forming deep lines. The effects are localized, meaning only the injected muscles are affected, allowing other facial muscles to function normally for a natural look.

What Do Neurotoxins Treat?

Neurotoxins are commonly used to treat the following:

  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Vertical forehead lines (frown lines)
  • Periorbital folds (crows feet/squint lines)
  • Nasoglabellar lines (nasal scrunch/bunny lines)
  • Upper lip lines
  • Lower lip lines
  • Chin lines
  • Neck lines


Additionally, Neurotoxins are also used for eyebrow elevations, and is often used in conjunction with other facial contouring modalities such as Kybella, Juvederm, and other injectables.

What Is a Nefertiti Lift?

A Nefertiti lift is a cosmetic treatment that uses neurotoxins to redefine the jawline and neck. By injecting neurotoxins along the jaw and into the platysma muscle, this treatment relaxes the downward pull of these muscles, creating a more lifted and smoother appearance in the lower face and neck. This non-surgical approach can help soften jowls and sharpen the jawline.

What Is a Lip Flip?

A lip flip is a subtle, non-surgical treatment that enhances the appearance of the upper lip using neurotoxins. We inject the neurotoxin into specific points around the lip. The muscles relax, causing the upper lip to gently roll outward. This technique gives the illusion of fuller lips without adding volume.

Why Choose Neuromodulators?

They Offer a Non-Surgical Solution

For those seeking a way to reduce dynamic wrinkles without surgery, neuromodulators are an ideal option. This treatment targets fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions without invasive procedures. With a series of simple injections, you can achieve smoother skin and a more refreshed appearance.

They Have Quick Treatment Times

A neuromodulator session is fast and convenient, often taking a few minutes to complete. You can easily fit a treatment into a lunch break or busy day without disrupting your schedule. The simplicity and speed of the process make it a great option for those with a packed lifestyle who still want effective results.

They Require Minimal Downtime

After a neuromodulator treatment, patients can typically return to their daily activities immediately. While some slight redness or swelling may occur at the injection sites, these effects usually subside quickly. This means you can go about your day without taking time off for recovery.

They Provide Temporary Results

The temporary nature of neuromodulators gives patients more flexibility and control over their appearance. Results generally last around three to four months, allowing you to adjust and refine your treatments. This short-term effect also makes it easier to experiment with your look, knowing that adjustments can be made over time.

They Help Prevent Future Wrinkles

Beyond treating existing lines, neuromodulators can be used as a preventive measure against future wrinkles. By relaxing the muscles responsible for deepening lines, this treatment helps reduce the formation of new wrinkles, especially in areas prone to dynamic facial movements.

They Deliver Natural-Looking Results

Neuromodulators have the ability to provide subtle, natural-looking improvements. When administered by a skilled professional with an eye for natural beauty, the results soften wrinkles without making the face appear frozen or overdone. This balance allows for a refreshed appearance that still looks like you—just a more rejuvenated version.

Get an instant youthful appearance with neurotoxin injections using treatments from top manufacturers such as Botox & Dysport!

What Is Botox?

Botox® is an FDA approved treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, forehead wrinkles, and crows feet. Botox® works by partially paralyzing the muscles responsible for creating these lines. In time, this causes the wrinkles to fade thus providing a more youthful appearance.

Botox® is a naturally-occurring protein made by the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum. As Botox® is a relatively large molecule, it cannot be absorbed through the skin like many creams and other beauty products and must be injected.

What Is Dysport?

It’s not a facial transformation—far from it. Dysport® treatment temporarily improves the look of your moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in a way that suits your style. And no one will know—unless you tell them. Check out our gallery below and see for yourself.

Don’t let the frown lines between your eyebrows define you. For adults who want a natural look, Dysport® is a natural-looking, fast-acting, long-lasting prescription injection proven to help smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows—without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face.

What to Consider When Choosing Between Botox and Dysport

  • Desired Speed of Results: Dysport tends to show results slightly faster than Botox, with some patients noticing changes within two to three days. Botox results may take a few more days to fully develop, typically around five to seven days.
  • Desired Area of Treatment: Dysport is often recommended for larger areas, such as the forehead, because it spreads more easily over a wider area. Botox is more precise, making it ideal for smaller, targeted zones like crow’s feet or between the eyebrows.
  • Your Desired Look: If you’re aiming for a softer, more natural finish, Dysport may give a slightly more diffused result. Botox, with its targeted approach, might be better for those looking for more precise wrinkle reduction in specific areas.
  • Previous Experience: If you’ve had a good experience with either Botox or Dysport in the past, sticking with the same treatment could be beneficial. However, it’s also worth discussing with your provider if switching to a different neuromodulator could offer better results based on your current goals.
  • Our Recommendations: We take a personalized approach to recommend the best option for your unique needs. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and suggest either Botox or Dysport based on what will work best for you.

Your Neuromodulator Treatment Plan

Preparing for Your First Injections

Before your first neuromodulator treatment, there won’t be much preparation since it is a straightforward treatment. However, we may have you adjust your current medications or supplements to help keep post-treatment bruising to a minimum. On the day of your treatment, keep your skin clean and free from products to make the process more streamlined. When you are here, we will talk about your goals and have you make facial expressions to see where your dynamic lines appear. From there, we can plan our injections more precisely and give you a more personalized treatment. 

What to Expect From the Treatment

During your neuromodulator treatment, tiny injections will be made in specific facial muscles to help relax the dynamic movements that cause wrinkles. You will feel a pinch with each injection, and some locations of the face can be more tender than others. However, the process is well-tolerated by most patients and we can use strategies to make it less uncomfortable.

Caring for Your Skin After Treatment

After your neuromodulator treatment, try not to rub or massage the injected area since this can cause unwanted spreading of the medication. Avoiding high temperatures such as hot tubs or saunas and keeping your exercise light for at least 24 hours can also help keep the results right where you want them. Minor swelling or redness may occur but should subside quickly.

Neuromodulators for Men

Neuromodulator treatments aren’t just for women—men are increasingly turning to these injections to reduce the appearance of frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. The approach for men is often slightly different, as the goal is usually to soften lines while maintaining a strong, masculine look. Whether you’re looking for subtle improvements or more dramatic changes, neuromodulators can help you achieve results that fit your lifestyle.

Factors That Impact Neurotoxin Longevity

  • Muscle Movement: The longevity of your neurotoxin results can be influenced by how active the treated muscles are. Areas with frequent, repetitive movements, like the forehead or around the eyes, may cause the neurotoxin to wear off sooner.
  • Location of Injections: Different areas of the face may respond differently to neurotoxin treatments. For example, areas with thinner skin or less muscle mass may see longer-lasting results, while thicker, more robust muscles, such as those in the jaw, might break down the neurotoxin faster.
  • Skincare: Your skincare routine can also play a role in how long your neurotoxin results last. Proper hydration, the use of sunscreen, and avoiding harsh products can help maintain your skin’s health and prolong the effects of the treatment.
  • Frequency of Injections: Regular, well-timed neurotoxin treatments can extend the longevity of your results. Over time, as muscles become more accustomed to relaxation, the effects may last longer between sessions. Patients who receive injections on a consistent basis often find that their results improve with each treatment.

Common Myths About Neurotoxins

Myth: Neurotoxins Are Toxic

The term “neurotoxin” can be intimidating for some. However, these products have no systemic effects. Neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport are highly purified, used in very small doses, and specifically formulated for use in medical and cosmetic treatments. These substances have been extensively studied and approved by regulatory bodies like the FDA for various treatments. The effects of these purified proteins are localized and wear off after several months. 

Myth: Neuromodulators Will Make Your Face Freeze

When administered correctly by an injector who understands facial anatomy, proper dosages, and patient individualities, neuromodulators will not freeze your facial expressions. The goal is to provide a balanced solution that treats wrinkles while still allowing sufficient natural movement in untreated areas. You’ll still be able to smile, frown, and express yourself, but the dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements will be softened.

Myth: Neurotoxins Are Only for Older Patients

While neurotoxins are often associated with reducing existing wrinkles, many younger patients use them preventively to slow the formation of lines. Dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet, start forming in the 20s and 30s. Preventative treatments can relax these muscles before deep lines set in, helping maintain smoother skin for longer.

Myth: Neurotoxins Are Only for Wrinkles

While neurotoxins are well-known for treating wrinkles, they can also address several other concerns. They are frequently used to treat medical issues like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraines, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain. They are also used in treatments like the Nefertiti lift to contour the jawline, the lip flip to enhance lip shape, or a brow lift.

Frequently asked questions

When Will I See the Results of My Neuromodulator Treatment?

Results from neuromodulators don’t appear instantly but gradually develop over several days. Patients typically begin to see results within 48 hours, with the full outcome of the treatment taking effect 7-10 days following treatment. The exact timing may vary depending on individual factors, such as muscle strength and the specific areas treated.

Neuromodulators are a great option for individuals looking to soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. Patients who are in good general health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations are typically ideal candidates. However, those with certain neurological conditions or muscle disorders may not be suitable for treatment. It’s important to discuss your medical history and cosmetic goals during a consultation to determine if neuromodulators are the right solution for you.

Each treatment session can take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete. The total time for treatment may differ patient to patient depending on the number of units required, the areas being treated, and any other treatments being performed.

Neurotoxin injections are performed using a fine needle. While everyone has a different pain tolerance, most patients report having virtually zero discomfort.

While the duration of results vary patient to patient, neurotoxin treatment results typically last 3-4 months on average. To maintain smoother, youthful skin follow-up treatment sessions are always scheduled in advance.
