Neurotoxin Injections
Neurotoxin injections are one of the most effective ways to soften expression lines, rebalance facial movement, and prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time. When performed thoughtfully, neurotoxins can refresh the face while still allowing you to look like yourself — not frozen, overdone, or artificial.
At Olympia Aesthetics & Wellness, neurotoxin treatments are approached as individualized facial planning, not a templated procedure. Every face moves differently, and treatment decisions are based on anatomy, muscle strength, and personal aesthetic goals rather than a one-size-fits-all injection pattern.
We offer multiple neurotoxin options, including Botox® and Xeomin®, and guide patients toward the option that best fits their needs.
What Are Neurotoxins?
In aesthetic medicine, “neurotoxin” refers to injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted muscles responsible for repetitive facial movements. These movements — such as frowning, squinting, or raising the brows — gradually create etched lines in the skin.
By calming specific muscle activity, neurotoxins help:
Soften existing expression lines
Prevent deeper lines from forming
Improve facial balance and symmetry
Neurotoxins do not “fill” wrinkles or add volume. Instead, they work by reducing muscle pull in carefully selected areas.
Areas Commonly Treated With Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins can be used in a wide range of facial and neck areas, depending on anatomy and goals. Common treatment areas include the upper face, lower face, and neck, as well as select muscles that influence facial expression and balance.
Treatment is never limited to a preset number of injection points. Instead, muscle groups are evaluated dynamically — at rest and in motion — to determine where treatment will be most effective and where movement should be preserved.
Botox® and Xeomin®: What’s the Difference?
Both Botox® and Xeomin® are FDA-approved neurotoxins used to treat facial lines caused by muscle movement. While they work in very similar ways, there are subtle differences that may make one a better choice for certain patients.
Botox® has been used for decades and is widely recognized for its predictability and versatility. Xeomin® is often described as a “cleaner” formulation, as it does not contain accessory proteins.
During your consultation, we discuss:
Your prior experience with neurotoxins (if any)
How your muscles respond to treatment
Longevity and response patterns
Personal preferences
If additional neurotoxins (such as Daxxify®) are appropriate or available, those options can also be discussed as part of an individualized plan.
A Different Approach to Neurotoxin Treatment
Neurotoxin appointments at Olympia Aesthetics and Wellness are intentionally structured to be thoughtful and customized, not rushed or formulaic.
Olympia Morris has completed extensive advanced training with leading aesthetic educators, with a strong focus on facial anatomy, muscle interaction, and precision injection techniques. Rather than following a standardized injection map or fixed point system, treatment plans are built around how your individual muscles move and interact.
This approach allows for:
More natural-looking results
Better balance between treated and untreated muscles
Thoughtful correction of asymmetry
Customization based on aesthetic goals
Natural Results — With Flexibility
The default treatment philosophy is to soften lines while maintaining natural expression. Most patients prefer results that look refreshed rather than obvious.
That said, neurotoxin treatment is always guided by patient preference. Some patients want very subtle movement reduction, while others prefer a stronger correction. Dosing and placement are adjusted accordingly, with clear communication and shared decision-making.
Advanced Neurotoxin Applications
In addition to commonly treated areas, Olympia routinely treats more advanced muscle groups when appropriate, including:
Platysmal bands in the neck
Depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles
Lower facial tension patterns
Complex asymmetry and compensation patterns
These areas require deeper anatomical knowledge and are addressed selectively based on individual assessment.
Built-In Two-Week Follow-Up
Every neurotoxin treatment includes a scheduled two-week follow-up visit. This visit allows time to evaluate how the neurotoxin has settled and how your muscles are responding.
If small refinements are needed, they can be addressed early, leading to more balanced and predictable outcomes.

Neurotoxin treatments are not interchangeable from person to person. The right option depends on anatomy, goals, and how your muscles respond over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
A neurotoxin is an injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes specific muscles responsible for expression lines. By reducing muscle movement, neurotoxins help soften existing lines and prevent deeper wrinkles from forming.
When properly planned, neurotoxin treatments should not make the face look frozen. Treatment at Olympia focuses on preserving natural expression while softening lines. Dosing and placement are adjusted based on individual preference and muscle activity.
Most patients see results lasting approximately three to four months. Longevity can vary based on muscle strength, treatment area, and individual metabolism.
Initial effects typically begin within a few days, with full results developing over 10–14 days. This timing is why a two-week follow-up is scheduled to assess results.
No, but at Olympia Aesthetics and Wellness our Neurotoxin treatments include a scheduled two-week follow-up visit to evaluate how the treatment has settled and to make small adjustments if needed.
Both are FDA-approved neurotoxins that work similarly. Differences relate to formulation and individual response. Your provider will help determine which option is best for you based on your goals and treatment history.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild redness or swelling at injection sites may occur but typically resolves quickly.
