Injectables require more than a steady hand. They require judgment. At Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis Skin Care & Laser Center, neurotoxin treatment is performed by experienced injectors in a physician-led environment with oversight from our board-certified plastic surgeons.
Every patient has a different movement pattern, muscle strength, and aesthetic threshold. Our team uses a personalized approach to treatment, with careful assessment of your goals, facial anatomy, and how much movement you want to keep.
At Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis Skin Care & Laser Center, we offer neurotoxins in Memphis for patients who want a polished, natural-looking refresh without surgery. Our providers customize treatment with products like Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify, selecting the right option based on your anatomy, treatment history, and goals. These injectable treatments are used to soften facial wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, with a personalized approach based on your anatomy, movement pattern, and goals.
Neurotoxins are injectable treatments made from a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, helping soften dynamic wrinkles in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Neurotoxins treat dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form from repeated muscle movement over time. This includes forehead lines, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet. When carefully placed, they reduce the pull of certain targeted muscles, so the skin is not being folded as strongly with every frown, squint, or raised brow.

Neurotoxins are most commonly used to treat facial wrinkles caused by repeated movement, but they can also be helpful in selected functional or balancing concerns.
Common uses include:
For some patients, neurotoxins are part of a focused cosmetic plan. For others, they play a role in treating tension, heaviness, or muscle overactivity in a specific area.
Neurotoxins work by reducing the communication between nerves and specific muscles in the area being treated. As the muscle relaxes, it contracts less forcefully. That means the skin above it is not being folded as deeply or as often.
This is why neurotoxins are especially effective for dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expression. They do not restore lost volume or tighten loose skin. They address movement. In the right patient, that can make a visible difference in the forehead, brow, eye area, jawline, or neck.
The best result does not look overdone. It looks calmer, smoother, and more rested.
At Plastic Surgery Group of Memphis Skin Care & Laser Center, we offer Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify. Each is a botulinum toxin product designed to relax targeted muscles and soften dynamic wrinkles, but the right fit can vary depending on your treatment history, anatomy, goals, and how long you want your results to last.
Your provider will recommend the product that makes the most sense for your goals, facial anatomy, and maintenance preferences.
Botox is the most familiar name and remains a trusted option for softening forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Many patients choose it because of its long track record and predictable performance.
Jeuveau is another neurotoxin option used to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movement. It is often chosen by patients looking for a modern alternative.
Daxxify is a newer neurotoxin option that some patients choose because of its potential for longer-lasting results. It can be a strong fit for patients who want to maintain a smoother look with fewer yearly treatment visits.
Neurotoxins remain one of the most popular cosmetic procedures because they are quick, customizable, and easy to fit into a busy routine.
Benefits may include:
For most patients, the appeal is simple: precise treatment, visible softening, and no need to step away from daily life for long.
Neurotoxins can be a strong option for patients who want a non-surgical treatment for movement-related lines and who prefer minimal interruption to their schedule.
Ideal candidates for neurotoxins often:
Some patients start treatment early, when lines are just beginning to linger. Others come in once wrinkles and fine lines are more established. Both can be appropriate, depending on your goals.
Neurotoxins may not be the best fit if you:
If your main concern is volume loss, skin laxity, or deeper textural change, another option may make more sense.
Preparation is straightforward, but a few simple steps can help your appointment go more smoothly.
Some patients ask about topical numbing cream. In most cases, it is not necessary for neurotoxins because the treatment is quick and well-tolerated.
Your appointment starts with movement assessment. We look at your face at rest, then in motion. You may be asked to smile, frown, squint, raise your brows, or clench your jaw. This helps us identify the targeted muscles contributing to your concerns.
Once the plan is set, the skin is cleansed, and the injection process begins. Depending on your treatment plan, your provider may use Botox, Jeuveau, or Daxxify. A very fine needle is used to place the product in the planned areas. Most patients describe the sensation as brief pinching or mild stinging. For most patients, the appointment involves minimal discomfort and lasts about 15 to 30 minutes.
After treatment, you can usually return to work or normal daytime activities right away.
Recovery is typically simple. Most patients go back to their usual schedule the same day.
You may see mild redness, pinpoint swelling, or a small bump at an injection site right after treatment. Minor bruising is also possible.
Social downtime is minimal. Many patients book treatment during the workday and return to normal plans immediately afterward.
You will receive specific aftercare instructions, but patients are often advised to:
Good aftercare supports a more predictable result. It also helps reduce the chance of unnecessary irritation in the treated areas.
This treatment does not work instantly. That is one of the most common misconceptions.
A general timeline looks like this:
The exact timeline depends on the product used, the dose, and the treatment area. Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify can follow slightly different timelines, and some patients notice onset sooner with one product than another. During your consultation, we will talk through what to expect based on the neurotoxin selected for your treatment plan.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Neurotoxins are usually done in a single appointment rather than a treatment series. After that, repeat visits are scheduled as needed.
Some patients maintain their results with routine visits every few months. Others need treatment more or less often depending on muscle strength, metabolism, and product choice. Longevity can also vary between Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify, which is one reason product selection is part of the treatment-planning process.
Patients often use these terms interchangeably, but they are not the same.
Neurotoxins relax muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Fillers add structure or volume. If your concern is frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead lines, neurotoxins may be the better fit. If your concern is hollowing or facial volume loss, filler may make more sense.
Some patients benefit from both. It depends on what is actually causing the change you see in the mirror.
Yes. Neurotoxins can be combined with a range of other aesthetic treatments, depending on the concern.
These may include:
Combination treatment can be especially useful when muscle movement is only one part of the issue.
At PSG Memphis, neurotoxin treatment is designed around precision, restraint, and real facial assessment. Whether you want to soften frown lines, smooth crow’s feet, or explore treatment for facial wrinkles or excessive sweating, our team can help you decide what fits your goals.
