Neurotoxin Treatments

Neurotoxin treatment is a popular non-surgical procedure that involves temporarily paralyzing muscle activity with the injection of botulinum toxin. It is commonly used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. Neurotoxin blocks the nerve signals necessary for facial muscles to contract, giving them a smoother, more refreshed appearance. It effectively treats areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows.

This treatment is suitable for adults looking to reduce visible signs of aging or prevent the formation of wrinkles. Ideal candidates are those in good health, not pregnant, and without neurological diseases. Results from neurotoxin injections are usually visible within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. The outcomes can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months. To maintain results, repeat treatments are recommended. If you’re considering neurotoxin in Wilmington, DE, we invite you to book an appointment with Citidrips to discuss your goals and see how this treatment can benefit you.

PRP Facial Rejuvenation

PRP Facial Rejuvenation is a non-invasive treatment that uses your own blood plasma to promote collagen growth and cell regeneration. The plasma, rich in growth factors, is then strategically injected into facial areas to stimulate new cell growth and provide volume to areas of hollow or deflated skin. PRP reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging and is a safe and effective treatment that provides natural-looking results without the use of invasive procedures.

Facial scars, such as acne scars, wrinkles, and deep body lines, and cellulite are examples of cosmetic issues that PRP may be able to assist with.

What Should I Expect?

Generally, your PRP appointment would take about 1-2 hours. It involves initially drawing blood, which we then centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors. Once we have created the platelet-rich plasma, we use a tiny syringe to inject into the desired area. Improvement continues over 4-6 weeks, hence the waiting period in between treatments.

What Is in the Injection?

The main ingredients used include phosphatidylcholine, multivitamins and saline. Phosphatidylcholine is a natural lecithin which contains two unsaturated fatty acids ( Linoleic- and alpha Lionleic acids) extracted from the soy plant.

Phosphatidylcholine (PPC) is actually produced by the body itself, but the body’s version includes saturated fatty acids (Palmitic-, Oleic- and Stearic-acid ). It is found in all cell membranes and occurs naturally, for instance, in the lungs of the developing fetus from the 4th month on. In this case it is loaded with Palmitic acid and enables the inflation and deflation of the lungs, preventing them from sticking together. It performs a similar function as a lubricant in the intestines to avoid adhesions.

To make PPC injectable, it requires a solvent which also needs to be a detergent substance; deoxycholic acid is used in the emulsification of fats for the absorption in the intestine.

When injected into fatty tissue with very thin needles, the double layer of the fat cell membrane swell and harden and the agent, which acts like a detergent, begins the fat breakdown, transforming the fat cells into tiny little fat particles of nano-size (one millionth of a millimeter). The final process occurs in the liver where the fat is completely broken down into carbon dioxide and water.

Can Anyone Use Mesotherapy?

This procedure is not used for pregnant women, nursing mothers, obese patients; or people with diabetes, autoimmune diseases, vascular complications, or infections of any kind. It is important to note that injection lipolysis for dissolving fat is not a means of weight loss.

Side Effects of Mesotherapy Injection Treatments

Short-termects from the injections are temporary and may include slight bruising, pain,and swelling which can be treated as needed.

FAQS

Ideal candidates for neurotoxin treatments are individuals seeking to diminish visible facial lines and wrinkles. It is especially effective for adults who are starting to see the early signs of aging but wish to avoid more invasive surgical options. To ensure safety and the best possible outcomes, candidates should be in overall good health, should not be pregnant, and must not have any neurological conditions. A consultation can help determine if neurotoxin is the right option based on your skin concerns and health history.
Initial improvements from neurotoxin injections are often seen within 3 to 5 days following the procedure. However, the full effects of the treatment are most noticeable after approximately two weeks, as the neurotoxin fully relaxes the targeted muscles. This delay allows the skin over the muscles to smooth out, resulting in fewer wrinkles and fine lines.
The visible effects of neurotoxin last between three and six months, depending on the individual’s muscle activity and metabolism rate. As muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles will reappear, necessitating follow-up treatments to maintain the skin’s smooth appearance. Scheduling regular treatments every 3 to 4 months can help consistently maintain aesthetic benefits.
Neurotoxin treatments require no downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. While side effects are rare and usually mild, they can include temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. Less commonly, some individuals may experience headaches or a slight temporary drooping of the eyelid or brow if the neurotoxin spreads to nearby muscles. Generally, these effects are temporary and disappear on their own.
Before receiving neurotoxin injections, avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours to reduce the risk of bruising. After the treatment, you should avoid strenuous activities and keep your head elevated to prevent the neurotoxin from migrating from the treated area. It’s also advisable not to touch or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours after treatment.
During the neurotoxin treatment, you will receive injections directly into the muscles that are responsible for the wrinkles and lines you wish to address. The quick injections involve minimal discomfort, typically described as a light pinch. The entire procedure usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated. Patients often find the process straightforward and painless, with immediate return to everyday activities.
