Neurotoxin Injectables
Understanding Neurotoxins
How Neurotoxins Work
Neurotoxins—including Botox®, Dysport®, and others—are FDA-approved injectable treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, neurotoxins, also known as neuromodulators, prevent the repetitive contractions that create expression lines, smoothing existing wrinkles while preventing new ones from forming.
For over 20 years, neurotoxin injections have been the gold standard for non-surgical wrinkle reduction. The treatment is performed entirely in-office with no anesthesia required, allowing most patients to resume normal activities immediately. Clinical studies consistently demonstrate excellent safety profiles and high satisfaction rates when administered by experienced medical professionals.
At Colorado Skin & Vein, Dr. Verebelyi and Christina Jordan, FNP, CANS, bring over two decades of injectable expertise to every treatment, ensuring precise placement, natural-looking results, and optimal outcomes.
