Neurotoxins, AKA wrinkle relaxers, work by temporarily paralyzing muscles. When injected into a muscle, it blocks the release of a neurotransmitter and limits muscle movement. Depending on the product used and individual goals, results can last 3-6 months.

Dermal fillers are HA injected into the skin to immediately restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Unlike neurotoxins, which paralyze muscles, dermal fillers provide a physical structure beneath the skin.

Sculptra stimulates your body’s own collagen production to gradually restore volume and improve skin texture. It is composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic substance. Once injected, the PLLA particles in Sculptra create a localized inflammatory response causing your body to produce collagen and elastin where it is injected to gradually restore volume and texture.
