Neurotoxin
You catch yourself in a photo and the line between your brows is there even when you are not frowning. Or people keep asking whether you are tired on days you feel fine. Those are the two things we hear most, and both are what neurotoxin treatment addresses. At Area Hydration & Aesthetics we offer Dysport and Xeomin, and your provider will help you choose the formulation that fits your anatomy, your goals, and how your muscles actually move. Our approach prioritizes balance and subtlety, so you look rested and refreshed rather than frozen.
What Are Neurotoxins?
Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily interrupt the nerve signals telling specific facial muscles to contract. Because dynamic lines form from repeated expressions like frowning, squinting, and raising the brows, relaxing those muscles softens existing lines and slows the formation of new ones.
Dysport
Dysport tends to spread slightly more within the treated area, which many providers find useful for broader regions such as the forehead. Onset is often quick, with many clients noticing changes within two to three days.
Xeomin
Xeomin is a purified formulation without accessory proteins. Some clients prefer it for that reason, particularly those who have received neurotoxin treatments over many years.
Common Treatment Areas
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the brows
- Crow's feet at the outer eyes
- Bunny lines along the nose
- Lip flip and smoker's lines
- Chin dimpling and downturned mouth corners
- Jaw slimming and clenching relief
What to Expect
Treatment takes about fifteen minutes with no downtime. Results begin appearing within three to five days and reach full effect around two weeks. Most clients maintain their results with treatments every three to four months.

Is Neurotoxin Right for You?
Neurotoxin suits you if the lines bothering you appear or deepen when you move your face. A useful test at home is to relax completely in front of a mirror. Lines that soften when your face is still respond well. Lines that stay carved in at rest usually need a combined approach.
- Lines that appear when you frown, squint, or raise your brows
- Wanting to slow new lines forming rather than only treating existing ones
- Looking tired or stern when you feel neither
- Jaw clenching, tension headaches, or a squared jawline
- Wanting a first aesthetic treatment that is subtle and reversible over time
When We Would Suggest Something Else
Neurotoxin relaxes muscles. It does not restore lost volume, resurface texture, or tighten loose skin. If your real concern is hollowing through the cheeks, sun damage, or crepey skin, we will say so at your consultation and point you toward filler, laser, or a skin treatment instead. We would rather send you to the right treatment than sell you the one you happened to ask about.
Before and After Your Appointment
Where medically appropriate, avoiding alcohol, fish oil, and anti inflammatory medications for a day or two beforehand reduces the chance of bruising. Come with clean skin if you can. Afterward, stay upright for four hours, skip strenuous exercise and heat for the rest of the day, and avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas so the product stays where it was placed. You can return to work immediately.
Booking at AREA

How much will this treatment cost?
At Area Hydration & Aesthetics, every treatment plan is customized to you, which is why we do not publish standard pricing. Your results, goals, and skin or body are unique, and your investment should reflect a plan built specifically for them rather than a one size fits all price list.
