If you have a special event or vacation coming up, please keep in mind that you may want to schedule your treatment at least 2 weeks in advance. It can take up to 2 weeks for the Neurotoxin to full take effect.

​

If you have a history of cold sore outbreaks we recommend pre-treating with an antiviral 3 days prior to your appointment as there is a risk the injection could activate an outbreak Please let us know if you are prone.

Avoid Neurotoxins if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or allergic to any of the ingredients in the product.
