Neurotoxins
Smooth Fine Lines With Expert Neurotoxin Treatments
Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles responsible for creating expression lines and wrinkles. They help soften existing lines and can also be used preventatively to slow the formation of future wrinkles.
At Ari Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer Daxxify®, Botox®, and Dysport® to create natural, refreshed results while preserving facial expression.
Our approach focuses on natural, balanced results—never overfilled—so you still look like yourself, just refreshed and rejuvenated.

How long do results last?
Results vary by individual, treatment area, metabolism, and product used.
Typical duration:
- Botox®: 3-4 months
- Dysport®: 3-4 months
- Daxxify®: 6-9 months
Consistent treatments may help maintain longer-lasting results over time.
How long does the appointment take?
Most appointments take 15-30 minutes, making neurotoxin treatments a convenient option that can easily fit into a busy schedule.
When will I see results?
Results are not immediate.
- Dysport®: 2-5 days
- Daxxify®: 2-7 days
- Botox®: 7-14 days
Full results are typically seen around 2 weeks after treatment.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the injections as a small pinch or slight pressure. The procedure is quick and generally very well tolerated.
Is there any downtime?
There is little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bumps at the injection sites that typically resolve within a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
What should I avoid after treatment?
For the first 24 hours:
- Avoid strenuous exercise
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas
- Avoid lying flat for 4 hours
- Avoid excessive heat exposure, saunas, and hot tubs
- Avoid facials or facial massages
Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your provider.
Will I look frozen?
Not at all. Our goal is to create natural-looking results that soften wrinkles while maintaining your ability to express yourself. Treatments are customized to your facial anatomy and desired outcome.
Can neurotoxins prevent wrinkles?
Yes. Many patients begin treatments before deep lines develop to help prevent wrinkles from becoming more pronounced over time.
Who is a good candidate?
Most healthy adults looking to soften fine lines, reduce dynamic wrinkles, or prevent signs of aging may be candidates. Treatment may not be recommended if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have certain neuromuscular disorders
- Have an active infection at the treatment site
A consultation is required to determine if treatment is right for you.
How often will I need treatments?
Most patients schedule maintenance appointments every:
- 3-4 months for Botox® and Dysport®
- 6-9 months for Daxxify®
