THE WRINKLE ERASER

EBGLO provides neurotoxin injections for a range of aesthetic and medical needs at our Guilford office. Neurotoxin, commonly known as Botox, is the leading cosmetic treatment designed to reduce or 'eliminate' facial wrinkles through minimally invasive techniques. Derived from botulinum toxin type A, neurotoxin acts as both an acetylcholine release inhibitor and a neuromuscular blocking agent.

This means it interferes with neurological signals from nerves that trigger muscle contractions, effectively relaxing the facial muscles that contribute to wrinkles on your skin.

As an FDA-approved therapeutic muscle relaxant, these injections prevent the nerve signals responsible for repetitive movements that create lines and wrinkles, leading to a smoother, more youthful look. Our sole practitioner, Erikka Baehring NP, skillfully employs neurotoxin to improve fine lines and wrinkles in areas such as crow's feet, the glabella (area between the eyes), smoker's lines, laugh lines, neck bands, and more (see).

DURING YOUR TOXIN COSMETIC TREATMENT

Your first neurotoxin appointment will include a consultation to make sure you understand the treatment from beginning to end, positive and possible negative effects, a review of your medical history and personal information, a treatment plan and goals. This may take up to an hour. Thereafter your toxin appointments will likely be shorter. Here’s a detailed list of what to expect from beginning to end of the treatment:

You and Erikka will review what was discussed at your consultation appointment including how much botox you will receive, and in which areas. If you have a low threshold for pain topical numbing may be applied but you are to request.
Treatment points will be identified and marked. Skin will be cleansed and treatment will begin.
Skin will be cleansed once more and post treatment instructions will be discussed.

AFTER YOUR TOXIN COSMETIC TREATMENT

NEUROTOXIN requires minimal downtime or recovery period. Meaning, you’ll be able to resume most of your normal activities immediately after your treatment. Special pre and post treatment instructions are available in your Aesthetic Record porta;. You will also receive them via e-mail.

In rare cases, neuroxin can migrate to other muscles in the body. To avoid this possibility, follow these guidelines:

Avoid rubbing the treated areas
Do not lie down for four hours following treatment
Wait 24 hours to exercise or engage in any strenuous activity

You should begin to notice results in the first week following treatment.

THE SIDE EFFECTS OF NEUROTOXIN

Neurotoxin is a very safe treatment. However, as with any treatment, side effects may occur. Most side effects are mild and should disappear within a few days. If they don’t, contact Erikka Baehring, NP.

Common side effects of Botox include:

Bruising
Redness
Minor swelling
Numbness

If you experience side effects such as a rashes, major swelling, or difficulty breathing and swallowing, seek emergency medical treatment. Severe side effects can indicate a rare but serious allergic reaction. If you have eyelid droop or brow heaviness this is a possible side effects of these treatments. You may discuss with Erikka what may or not be done as a result.

RESULTS OF BOTOX® COSMETIC

The results of neurotoxin on average lasts 3-4 months. Some patients longer and some shorter depending on several factors. For continuous results, schedule treatments at regular intervals with your Erikka. Typically, patients schedule a Botox treatment every three months. It’s important to note that Botox is not a permanent treatment. If you discontinue treatment, your lines and wrinkles will gradually return over time.
