Refreshed, natural — never frozen

Medically supervised Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin soften frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet by precisely relaxing targeted muscles — diminishing existing lines and preventing new ones, with little to no downtime. Every treatment is personalized to your facial anatomy under the oversight of Ashley Sutton, FNP‑MSN.

The Science Behind Smoother Skin

Relax the muscle, smooth the line

Neurotoxins temporarily block the nerve signals that tell facial muscles to contract. When a muscle can't fully contract, the overlying skin stays smooth — softening the dynamic wrinkles formed by years of frowning, squinting, and raising your eyebrows. This precise, targeted action is what makes the results look so natural.

Botox · Dysport · Xeomin

Three toxins, one goal

The Original
Botox

The oldest, most tried-and-tested neurotoxin on the market, with the longest track record of clinical use and research. OnabotulinumtoxinA blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction to soften dynamic wrinkles.

Onset 3–7 days · Lasts ~3–4 months
Fast & Wide
Dysport

A botulinum toxin type A with smaller protein complexes. Slightly faster onset and a wider spread make it well-suited to larger surface areas like the forehead.

Faster onset · Greater diffusion radius
The Purist
Xeomin

A “naked” toxin — pure neurotoxin stripped of accessory proteins, which may reduce the chance of developing resistance-causing antibodies over time. Identical mechanism to Botox.

The Treatment Areas

Where a few units make the difference

Botox relaxes the specific muscles that fold the skin. Treating the cause — not the crease — is why a well-mapped treatment reads as rested rather than frozen.

Forehead
Forehead & glabella

Horizontal forehead lines and the vertical "elevens" between the brows — the two areas patients notice first and the most commonly requested.

Crow's feet
Crow's feet & brow lift

Softening the orbicularis around the eyes, and a few precise units to lift the tail of the brow for a more open, awake eye.

Jaw / masseter
Jaw, neck & beyond

Masseter slimming and TMJ relief, the platysmal bands of the neck, and hyperhidrosis for underarms — medical uses as common here as cosmetic.

NeuroToxin FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

All three work the same way, with subtle differences in formulation, spread, and onset. Rather than one being universally best, the right choice depends on the area being treated and your goals — your provider will recommend the best fit at your consultation.

Many clients notice results within a few days, with full effect over about two weeks. Results typically last around 3–4 months, varying by person — your provider will map a maintenance rhythm that keeps you refreshed.

Most find it quick and very tolerable — a fine needle and a brief pinch. Your provider takes steps to keep you comfortable throughout.

Little to none. Minor redness or small bumps at injection sites settle quickly. Simple aftercare: don't rub the area and stay upright for a short period afterward.

Always the goal — natural, refreshed results, never frozen or overdone. Treatment is tailored to your features so you look like yourself, simply more rested.
