The presence of fine lines and wrinkles on the face is often a sure sign of someone’s age. From mild to severe, the appearance of these creases in the skin can be disheartening. Fighting against dynamics such as environmental factors and loss of collagen, elastin and fat pads, the aging process takes place and gradually weakens your strong and supple skin. These factors give rise to the appearance of wrinkles.

As the aging process progresses, the repetitive contraction of muscles in the face only increases the visibility of wrinkles. With every day expressions such as smiling, frowning and laughing we are slowly breaking down the collagen of the skin; forming deeper wrinkles of the face. Thankfully, there are methods available to keep these wrinkles at bay.

Through the use of medical injectables known as neurotoxins, we can restore the youthful appearance you once had by reducing the contraction of specific muscles in the face. When injected by a trained professional, neurotoxins/neuromodulators can create beautiful results that slow the aging process of wrinkle formation.

MaVie Med Spa is a reputed provider of all neurotoxin/neuromodulator treatments. This includes Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau in St. George, Utah. Visit our state-of-the-art facility for a consultation.

After the procedure, you are asked to avoid lying flat for a few hours and avoiding any compression to the treated area (headbands, hats, massages, etc). Ensure appropriate infection precautions by temporarily avoiding excessive sweating and touching your face. It is recommended to avoid alcohol for 24 hours and any blood-thinning agents such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen prior to and immediately after your injections.

Typical onset of neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau is 4-7 days, with the full onset being at about two weeks. You will be seen again at the two-week mark to receive any touch up needed and to evaluate the effects of the prescribed dosing. At MaVie, we understand every face is different. Because of this, it is important to come to your two-week follow-up so we can document outcomes of injections performed. Once we identify the dosing of optimal results, we can maintain these results every 3-4 months.
