Whether you're looking to smooth fine lines, prevent wrinkles, or simply feel more confident in your skin, Botox and other neurotoxins have become go-to treatments for achieving a refreshed, youthful appearance. At Aviva Health & Wellness in Park City, Utah, neurotoxin injections are offered with precision and artistry to deliver subtle, natural-looking results.

What Are Neurotoxins?

Botox and similar neurotoxins are purified proteins that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for dynamic facial expressions—those repetitive movements that lead to fine lines and wrinkles over time. Common neurotoxins include Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau®, all of which are FDA-approved for cosmetic use.

By targeting the source of the wrinkle formation—muscle movement—neurotoxins smooth out existing lines and help prevent new ones from forming. They’re most commonly used in the upper face, but their applications go far beyond that.

Most Popular Treatment Areas

At Aviva, neurotoxin treatments are customized to your facial anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. Common areas include:

  • Forehead lines – Softens horizontal creases that can make you appear tired or stressed.

  • Glabellar lines (11s) – Treats frown lines between the eyebrows.

  • Crow’s feet – Smooths the fine lines around the eyes that deepen when you smile or squint.

  • Bunny lines – Minimizes nose wrinkles that appear when you scrunch your face.

  • Lip flip – Uses small amounts of toxin to subtly lift the upper lip, enhancing volume without filler.

  • Chin dimpling – Relaxes the mentalis muscle to smooth out “orange peel” texture.

  • Masseter muscles – Helps reduce jaw clenching, teeth grinding, or even slim the face.

Because the results are temporary (typically lasting 3–4 months), many clients find that a consistent schedule of maintenance injections yields the best long-term outcomes.

Benefits of Neurotoxin Injections

Botox and other neurotoxins offer both cosmetic and functional benefits:

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive

  • No downtime

  • Quick treatment (usually under 20 minutes)

  • Visible results within 3–10 days

  • Improves facial symmetry and balance

  • Can prevent wrinkles from worsening over time

At Aviva, treatments are performed by experienced providers who understand the art and science of facial aesthetics. The goal is never to “freeze” your face—it’s to create a smoother, more relaxed version of your natural expressions.

Aftercare Tips for Optimal Results

To ensure your treatment is safe and effective, here are a few aftercare guidelines recommended by the Aviva team:

  • Avoid lying down or exercising for 4–6 hours after treatment.

  • Do not rub or massage the treated area for at least 24 hours.

  • Skip facials, saunas, or steam rooms for 1–2 days.

  • Be patient—results gradually appear over several days.

If you ever have questions or concerns after your appointment, Aviva’s team is always available to support you.
