At Rachel Coker Medical Aesthetics in Ringgold, GA, we specialize in expertly administered neurotoxin treatments, featuring both BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®. These popular anti-wrinkle injections are highly effective in smoothing dynamic lines and wrinkles, providing a refreshed and more youthful appearance. As a skilled Nurse Practitioner, Rachel Coker meticulously customizes each treatment to ensure natural-looking results that enhance your facial expressions, rather than freezing them.
Neurotoxins, also known as neuromodulators, are injectable medications that temporarily relax specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are those that form with facial movement, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. By subtly reducing muscle contractions, neurotoxins soften existing lines and prevent the formation of deeper wrinkles over time. The active ingredient in neurotoxins blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles. This temporary relaxation prevents the muscle from contracting, leading to a smoother appearance of the overlying skin.
Both BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are highly effective neurotoxins, offering similar benefits in wrinkle reduction. While both products contain botulinum toxin type A, they have subtle differences in their formulations and onset of action.
The most well-known neurotoxin, often considered the gold standard. Results typically appear within 3-7 days.
