So, what are neurotoxins, and how do they work? Neurotoxins reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles and is the only FDA-approved treatment to temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines and wrinkles. Botox, one of the most well-known neurotoxins has 16 years of published studies to back up its treatment. The safety and efficacy of Botox have been documented in 528 peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals. Botox is injected into the muscles that are causing the wrinkles. This could be injected into your brows, crow’s feet lines, and forehead.


Will neurotoxins change your looks? One should not be concerned about their face looking unnatural or overdone after receiving a neurotoxin. It's a technique-sensitive treatment. A well-trained injector will be able to make the results appear subtle and natural. You’ll look just like you do now, but with fewer wrinkle lines.


Not sure how long the downtime is after receiving neurotoxin? After receiving Botox, you can return to your daily routine as soon as you leave the office, unless you’re a gym lover. We recommend waiting 24 hours before exercising. In addition, you will be unable to touch the treated areas or lay flat.

At Alora, we are skillfully trained for all your injection needs. When you book a consultation, we will discuss all your needs and wants before injecting. We want to ensure our clients walk away feeling confident, natural, and happy with all your injections.
