Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but modern aesthetic medicine offers effective ways to soften existing lines and prevent new ones from forming. One of the most trusted and widely used solutions today is neurotoxins. At Fresh Face, neurotoxin treatments are designed to deliver natural-looking results while helping you maintain smoother, younger-looking skin.
In this guide, we’ll explain what neurotoxins are, how they work to prevent wrinkles, and why neurotoxin injections such as Botox have become the gold standard for anti-aging and anti-wrinkle injections.
What Are Neurotoxins?
To understand how neurotoxins prevent wrinkles, it’s important to start with the basics.
What Is a Neurotoxin?
A neurotoxin is a purified protein that temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles. When injected in small, controlled amounts, neurotoxins relax targeted facial muscles that cause wrinkles from repeated movement.
In aesthetics, neurotoxins are used safely and effectively to reduce muscle activity that leads to dynamic wrinkles—those lines that form when you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows.
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is one of the most well-known and widely used neurotoxins. While Botox is a brand name, it represents a category of treatments known as neurotoxin injections.
Botox works by:
-
Relaxing overactive facial muscles
-
Preventing repetitive muscle contractions
-
Allowing the skin above the muscle to smooth out
When used correctly, Botox does not “freeze” your face. Instead, it softens expression lines while preserving natural movement and facial balance.
How Neurotoxins Prevent Wrinkles
Wrinkles often develop from years of repeated facial movements combined with natural collagen loss. Neurotoxins address the muscle activity side of aging.
Prevention, Not Just Correction
One of the biggest benefits of neurotoxins is their preventative effect. By relaxing the muscles early, neurotoxins help stop wrinkles from becoming deeper and more permanent over time.
Benefits include:
-
Slowing wrinkle formation
-
Reducing skin creasing
-
Preserving smoother skin long term
This is why many patients choose anti-wrinkle injections before lines become deeply etched into the skin.
Common Areas Treated With Neurotoxin Injections
Neurotoxins are highly versatile and can be tailored to different areas of the face and neck.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal Forehead Lines form from repeated eyebrow lifting. Neurotoxins relax these muscles, creating a smoother, more refreshed appearance without heaviness.
Frown Lines
Also known as “11 lines,” Frown Lines appear between the brows from squinting or frowning. Neurotoxins soften these lines and can help the face look more relaxed and approachable.
Crow’s Feet
Crow’s Feet form at the outer corners of the eyes from smiling and squinting. Neurotoxin injections gently reduce these lines while keeping your smile natural.
Neck Lines and Platysma Bands
Neurotoxins are increasingly used in the neck to treat Neck Lines and Platysma Bands. Relaxing these muscles can improve neck contour and create a smoother, more youthful profile.
Neurotoxins for TMJ and Facial Tension
Beyond wrinkles, neurotoxins offer therapeutic benefits.
TMJ Relief
Patients with TMJ often experience jaw pain, clenching, and headaches. Neurotoxin injections can:
-
Relax overactive jaw muscles
-
Reduce clenching and grinding
-
Improve comfort and quality of life
This added benefit makes neurotoxins a functional and aesthetic solution.
How Long Do Anti Wrinkle Injections Last?
One of the most common questions is: how long do anti wrinkle injections last?
On average:
-
Results appear within 3–7 days
-
Full results are visible at about 2 weeks
-
Effects typically last 3–4 months
With consistent treatments, many patients find their results last longer over time as muscles become trained to relax.

When performed by trained professionals, neurotoxin injections have an excellent safety profile. At Fresh Face, treatments are:
-
Customized to your facial anatomy
-
Administered in precise, conservative doses
-

-
