Neurotoxins
Smooth Away Lines and Wrinkles for a Refreshed Look
As the years go by, it’s natural for lines and wrinkles to appear on the face. These changes happen to everyone, but they don’t have to define the way you look. At Elevate Aesthetics + Wellness, we offer neurotoxin treatments that relax targeted muscles beneath the skin. This softens common lines like crow’s feet, forehead creases, and frown lines, giving you a smoother, rested look.
The treatment is quick, simple, and tailored to your goals. Many of our patients leave feeling more confident and refreshed—without looking “overdone.” If you’d like to learn more, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our team in Mill Valley.
Neurotoxin Treatments
BOTOX®
Often used to soften forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet for a smoother, brighter look.
Dysport®
Helps relax the muscles that create wrinkles, especially effective for frown lines between the brows.
Xeomin®

Benefits of Neurotoxins
Patients choose neurotoxin treatments because they provide more than wrinkle reduction:
- Smoother Appearance: Softens fine lines and creases.
- Helps Delay New Wrinkles: Reduces repetitive muscle movements that cause lines to deepen.
- Natural Look: When performed by an experienced provider, results look refreshed, not stiff.
- Fast Appointments: Most treatments take 10–15 minutes and fit easily into your day.
- No Downtime: You can return to normal activities almost immediately.
What to Expect During Neurotoxin Treatment
Here’s what typically happens during your visit:
Step 1: Consultation
You’ll meet with a provider to talk about your goals, review your health history, and create a plan that’s right for you.
Step 2: Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned, and small markings may be placed to guide the injections.
Step 3: Injections
A very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of neurotoxin into the chosen muscles. Most people describe the feeling as a quick pinch. The session usually lasts only 10–15 minutes.

You may be a good fit if you:
- Are healthy overall.
- Want to reduce forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet.
