What are Neurotoxins?
While most of us wish we could look young forever, our bodies unfortunately will begin to show signs of aging. However, at NoSweat Fort Wayne, we offer progressive and modern solutions to reduce signs of aging. Neurotoxins are one option we offer to combat signs of aging to help your skin appear tight, soft, and youthful. Utilizing a botulinum toxin type A, this solution temporarily paralyzes the targeted muscle areas to provide the desired effect, like reduced wrinkles and lines on the face. Dr. Philip Rettenmaier and his team are here to help you reach your aesthetic goals. Call our Fort Wayne, IN location today to schedule a consultation.

Am I a candidate for neurotoxins?
Neurotoxin injections are an excellent option for patients who are seeking to soften the look of wrinkles and lines on their upper face without undergoing surgery. Sometimes, BOTOX and Jeuveau are sought by younger patients (including patients in their 20s) who wish to halt signals of aging entirely. Dr. Rettenmaier will review every product's details and help you understand which wrinkle relaxer works best for you. A dermal filler may be added to enhance your procedure if you are dealing with deep-set creases.
What Can I Expect from Neurotoxin Treatments?
There are a number of different neurotoxins. Two of the most popular neurotoxins are BOTOX® and Jeuveau®. These injectable treatments are quick, effective, and relatively pain-free. Treatments only take about 10 minutes prior to which Dr. Rettenmaier will work with you to establish your cosmetic goals and desires so he can create a treatment plan that will help you get stunning results. Following your neurotoxin injection, you should be able to get right back to your daily routine, although we suggest you avoid strenuous activities for a day or so. You may experience some redness, swelling, or soreness at the injection sites, but this is normal and shouldn't last more than a few days. It could take up to 5 – 7 days for your results to really become visible, but once they appear they should last for 3 – 4 months. To maintain your results, Dr. Rettenmaier or a member of the team can suggest when to receive follow-up treatments to refresh your look.
Neurotoxin Treatments FAQ
How many injections/units will I likely need?
The number of neurotoxin treatments required will vary according to individual needs and the depth and severity of your wrinkles and lines. Dr. Rettenmaier or a member of his team will determine the appropriate quantity of neurotoxin units based on your desired cosmetic outcomes and whether you wish to treat the forehead, brow area, or Crow's feet. To prolong your aesthetic results, our team might recommend getting neurotoxin services every 3 – 4 months at NoSweat Fort Wayne.
Can I have BOTOX or other neurotoxins with additional aesthetic procedures?
BOTOX and neurotoxin procedures generally pair well with additional noninvasive options at NoSweat Fort Wayne for patients who wish to minimize aging concerns. If you experience more pronounced and severe facial lines and wrinkles, our experts could talk with you about adding a filler for your smoothest results. To further maximize your youthful radiant glow, we can perform other complementary treatments, like RF skin resurfacing or a facial fat transfer.
Is there a comparable aesthetic injectable option?
BOTOX is a specific formulation of wrinkle relaxer that exists within a market of other comparable brands, like Dysport®, XEOMIN®, and Jeuveau™. All of these wrinkle relaxer solutions use botulinum toxin type A; however, they are each created a little differently to meet specific problems.
Is there a variation among wrinkle relaxers and fillers?
Although wrinkle relaxers are administered to smooth facial lines by temporarily freezing your muscle engagement, dermal fillers are a distinct collection of aesthetic options that increase volume in the face. Dermal fillers are designed to plump gaunt-looking features and reduce static wrinkles. Dr. Rettenmaier or a team member can ascertain if you may benefit from a filler (such as Restylane® or JUVÉDERM®) to further enhance your BOTOX and neurotoxin results.
Are wrinkle relaxer injections painful?
As is the case with the majority of injectable treatments, you will feel a light poking feeling as the treatment is delivered. However, any discomfort just persists several seconds, so the majority of patients tell us that this minor sensation is quite bearable. Our practitioners will help you remain relaxed during the course of your treatment. At your request, we can offer an anesthetic gel to make your procedure more enjoyable.
How much do wrinkle relaxers cost?
Costs for a wrinkle relaxing treatment will depend on the amount required to match your needs. During your initial consultation, you will share your aesthetic goals so your treatment plan can be created and then calculate an estimate of your cost. NoSweat Fort Wayne takes several forms of payment and sometimes has deals on our neurotoxin treatments.
