What you need to know about neurotoxins as anti-wrinkle injections
At LAK Medspa, anti-wrinkle injections and other med spa facial treatments are in high demand! Our team can help demystify some of these services to help patients better understand the many options available to them. Let’s look at the neurotoxin injections available with our team to determine if this service might benefit you and help you reach your skincare goals!
What is a neurotoxin?
Dr. Lisa Ohman Erhard of LAK Medspa describes neurotoxins as a class of injectables used to relax muscles by preventing nerve impulses from reaching them. In simpler terms, neurotoxins are injectable substances that inhibit the communication between the nerves and muscles, resulting in temporary muscle relaxation. When this occurs, it often smooths dynamic wrinkles and folds caused by muscle tension.
What are some common brand names for neurotoxins?
Botox is the most well-known brand name for a neurotoxin as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Other commonly used brand names include Dysport and Xeomin. Each has its own pros and cons and varies in pricing at LAK Medspa.
How does a neurotoxin work as an anti-wrinkle treatment?
Neurotoxins are substances injected into specific facial muscles to block the nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions. These contractions are what cause wrinkles to form. By blocking the nerve signals, neurotoxins relax the muscles and prevent them from contracting, resulting in smoother and younger-looking skin.

How long do the results of the neurotoxin treatment last?
Different factors can impact the longevity of neurotoxin treatment results, such as the individual’s metabolism and the dosage used. On average, the results from this cosmetic treatment can last three to six months. However, the effects may last longer for medical conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) or migraines.
Do I need additional treatments to maintain the results?
To achieve the best outcomes, patients should schedule follow-up appointments every few months to monitor and adjust their treatment as necessary. Additionally, practicing healthy skin habits, such as wearing sunscreen and avoiding any excessive sun exposure, can prolong the results of these neurotoxin treatments.
Can I combine neurotoxin treatments with other procedures?
Yes! Our neurotoxin injections can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures for enhanced results. These can include dermal fillers, laser treatments, and even surgical procedures such as facelifts. Our team of experienced professionals will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses all of your aesthetic concerns and goals.

It really has changed my life because I felt like the dermatologist always said, you have to keep waiting it out. And it was so hard to wait it out. I never went to bed worrying, you know, that I’d have, you know, something go on with my skin the next day before a client meeting or something really important in my life or before a major event going on. And so I just think that coming to Wayzata Skin Care really made a huge impact in my professional life, in my career. Just knowing that everything with my skin was going to be consistent and reliable has really brought such a calm peace of mind. And I’m really appreciative of that.

I had tried diet and exercise for weight loss. My mood just didn’t seem right. I know myself, and I just feel like my health could be more optimal and one of the things that I had not investigated yet was hormone balancing. So once you decide you’re going to pursue that, it’s like, where do you go? Because I feel like there’s a lot of places doing it, probably not doing it well and I knew I wanted to go to a female provider because it’s just a different kind of care, woman to woman, which led me to finding Wayzata Cosmetic Surgery and Spa.
