Frequently Asked Questions

Neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax and preventing contractions that lead to lines and wrinkles.

Neurotoxin results generally last 3 to 4 months. Dosage is customized based on muscle movement to ensure optimal relaxation. For smaller, high-movement areas like lip flips, results may last 2 to 4 months due to frequent activity in those muscles. Longevity of TOX results can also vary based on patient lifestyle and metabolism.

With proper dosing, neurotoxins give a subtle, relaxed look and prevent wrinkling without making the face appear fully frozen. At NakedMD, we believe in subtlety and minimalistic treatments, meaning we always aim to dose appropriately to make each patient look and feel their most confident.

Xeomin: "Naked" botulinum toxin - no accessory proteins, which may reduce the risk of antibody resistance over time.
Letybo: Newer product from South Korea, similar to Botox in formulation but known for its smooth injection and consistent results.
Dysport: (AbobotulinumtoxinA) contains smaller protein molecules. Faster onset time - often within 1-4 days.
Botox: Contains botulinum toxin plus accessory proteins. Most widely studied and used.

Neurotoxin results typically take two weeks to fully kick in. Depending on the brand used for treatment, as well as lifestyle, some patients may see results a bit sooner.
