Neurotoxins
Smooth Expression Lines
Every time you frown, squint or raise your brows, the muscles underneath fold the skin. Over years, those folds settle in as lines that stay even when your face is relaxed. Neurotoxins like Botox® work by blocking the signal that tells those muscles to contract. The muscle softens, the skin above it stops creasing, and existing lines gradually smooth out. Treated well, the effect is subtle. You still move and express normally, just without the deep creases.
At Swãe, we dose conservatively and place carefully, because the goal is for you to look rested rather than treated.
What Happens at a Neurotoxin Appointment
The whole visit usually takes 20 to 30 minutes, and most of that is conversation. The injections themselves take only a few minutes.
Your provider looks at how your face moves, asks what bothers you and explains what neurotoxins can and can't change. If you're a first-timer, we'll talk through what to expect.
We mark the injection points based on your muscle activity, not a standard diagram. This is what keeps results natural and avoids a heavy brow or uneven look.
A very fine needle delivers small amounts of product into the targeted muscles. Most people feel a quick pinch at each point, and numbing isn't usually necessary.
Results develop over one to two weeks. We'll ask you to come back around then so we can check symmetry and add a little more if needed.

Is Neurotoxin Treatment Right for You?
Neurotoxins work on lines caused by muscle movement, which makes them a good fit for some concerns and not others. You're likely a good candidate if:
- You have frown lines, forehead creases or crow's feet that show up when you make expressions
- Your lines are starting to stay even when your face is relaxed and you'd like to soften them
- You want to prevent lines from deepening before they become permanent
- You'd prefer a treatment with no downtime that fits into a lunch break
- You're looking for a subtle change rather than a dramatic one
- You're in good general health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
Neurotoxins won't lift sagging skin, fill hollow areas or improve skin texture. If those are your main concerns, your provider may recommend fillers, skin tightening or a resurfacing treatment instead.
Why Patients Choose Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins are the most requested aesthetic treatment worldwide for a reason. They're quick, predictable and easy to adjust.
Caring for Your Skin After Treatment
Aftercare for neurotoxins is simple. The main goal in the first few hours is to keep the product where it was placed and avoid anything that increases blood flow to the face.
Before & After Results
Any Questions?
How long does it take to see results?
You'll notice softening within three to five days, and full results by about two weeks. That's why we schedule your follow-up for the two-week mark.
How long do neurotoxins last?
Typically three to four months. With regular treatment, some people find results last a little longer over time.
Will I look frozen?
Not with conservative dosing and careful placement. We aim to soften lines while keeping your natural expressions.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe a quick pinch at each injection point. The needle is very fine and the whole thing is over in a few minutes.
Can neurotoxins be used for anything besides wrinkles?
Yes. They're also used for jaw clenching, a gummy smile, neck bands and excessive sweating. Ask your provider if you're curious about any of these.
What happens if I stop getting treatments?
Your muscles gradually return to normal movement and lines slowly reappear as they were. Nothing gets worse than before you started.
