Neurotoxins
Neurotoxins are a minimally invasive treatment that softens fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles behind them. Botox®, Dysport®, DAXXIFY® and Jeuveau® are the ones used in cosmetic treatment. Our aesthetic nurse injectors place them at Mafi Plastic Surgery in Fresno, California, tailored to your own facial features.
Book a consultationWhat are
Neurotoxins?
Neurotoxins are popular, minimally invasive treatments that help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell certain facial muscles to contract. When these muscles relax, the skin above them becomes smoother, helping soften wrinkles and create a more refreshed, natural-looking appearance. At Mafi Plastic Surgery, we offer Botox®, Dysport®, DAXXIFY®, and Jeuveau®.
Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes, but they can also be used in other areas of the face to create subtle changes, such as gently lifting the brows, softening a gummy smile, reducing a downturned mouth, or defining the jawline. Your aesthetic nurse injector will determine where treatment can best complement your natural features and goals.
Results are temporary and may last three to six months or longer, depending on the individual, the area treated, and the brand of neurotoxin used. Regular treatments can help maintain your results over time. Appointments are quick, usually taking less than 30 minutes, with little to no downtime, making neurotoxin treatments easy to fit into your schedule.

Am I a candidate for neurotoxins?
Relax the muscle underneath, and the line above it softens.
Neurotoxins work by relaxing the muscles that create expression lines, helping soften the wrinkles that appear when you smile, frown, or squint. They may be a good option if you’re looking to soften:
Forehead Lines
Lines across the forehead caused by years of facial expressions.
Frown Lines
Lines between the eyebrows that become more noticeable when you frown or squint.
Crow’s Feet
Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes that appear with smiling and squinting.
Other Expression Lines
Wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements rather than lost volume.
Minimal Downtime
A quick treatment, typically taking less than 30 minutes, with little to no downtime afterward.
Ongoing Maintenance
You understand that results are temporary and may require regular treatments to maintain your results.
