Neurotoxins in Alpharetta
Smooth, wrinkle-free skin should still leave room for your personality to shine through. Neurotoxins can soften the lines created by repetitive facial expressions, but the most beautiful results come from knowing exactly how much movement to preserve.
At The Swan Center, neurotoxins are administered by skilled nurse injectors who’ve trained alongside our board-certified plastic surgeons. They understand the nuances of facial anatomy, take the time to listen to your goals, and consistently achieve balanced, natural-looking results. With every aspect of treatment tailored to you, from product selection to dosage, our team helps you look like the most refreshed, radiant version of yourself.

Why Neurotoxins?
Neurotoxins are FDA-approved injectable medications designed to soften the appearance of expression lines. They contain a purified form of botulinum toxin and work by temporarily interrupting the nerve signals that tell the muscles to contract. By relaxing the muscle, the movements that cause expression lines are reduced, so the overlying skin stays smooth.
Because neurotoxins safely and effectively reduce expression lines with little to no downtime, they are the most popular non-surgical treatment in the country. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), over 9.9 million treatments were performed in 2024, highlighting their continued appeal among patients who want to look refreshed without surgery.
What Can Neurotoxins Address?
Neurotoxins address dynamic lines, the ones that appear with every facial expression, rather than those that remain when the face is fully at rest. These include:
- Frown lines: Also called glabellar lines or 11s, frown lines appear above the nose when you pout, frown or knit your brows.
- Forehead wrinkles: Forehead wrinkles run horizontally across the T-zone and appear when you raise your eyebrows.
- Crow’s feet: Small lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes, crow’s feet are caused by laughing, squinting and smiling.
- Bunny lines: Bunny lines appear when you scrunch your nose.
- Lip lines: Sometimes called “smoker’s lines,” these wrinkles appear around the mouth when you purse your lips or drink through a straw.
Neurotoxins can also be used off-label to improve facial balance, treat a gummy smile, alleviate teeth clenching, refine the chin or jawline, elongate the neck (Barbie Tox) and give the appearance of a fuller upper lip (Lip Flip). This versatility makes neurotoxins one of the most customizable non-surgical treatments available.
The Swan Center Experience
Two patients can come in looking to reduce frown lines and need two completely different approaches to achieve their goals. One might have 11s that only appear when she concentrates, while another might have deeper creases. A thoughtful treatment plan accounts for those differences for results that are subtle, polished and refined.
At The Swan Center, that clinical judgment is what sets our providers apart. Our nurse injectors have trained alongside our board-certified plastic surgeons and developed the skills to know which product to use, where to place it and how to smooth wrinkles without affecting your natural expressions. Every recommendation is guided by your anatomy, with the goal of enhancing your features in a way that looks effortless and true to you.
Injectables We Offer
BOTOX® Cosmetic
Botox is the most studied and widely used neurotoxin available. Its long track record makes it a reliable starting point for first-time patients. Results start to develop within three to five days, with full effects appearing after two weeks. Botox continues working for up to four months.
Dysport®
Dysport is another popular neurotoxin, with a unique formula that makes it well-suited to treating broader treatment areas, like the forehead. Dysport’s effects are noticeable sooner, with visible results appearing after two to three days. Like Botox, Dysport can last for up to four months.
Xeomin®
Xeomin is a “naked” neurotoxin, free from accessory proteins and other additives. Because it contains only the active ingredient needed to reduce muscle activity, Xeomin is less likely to cause allergic reactions or antibody resistance, making it a popular choice for patients who prefer a clean formula.
Daxxify®
Daxxify is the newest neurotoxin on the market, featuring a unique peptide-stabilized formula. This peptide formula helps results develop sooner, with many patients noticing effects within one to two days, and gives the skin a radiant, dewy look that’s been dubbed “the Daxi glow.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a neurotoxin or a filler?
It comes down to what’s creating the wrinkles you’re seeing. Neurotoxins reduce expression lines caused by muscle movement, while fillers restore volume and soften static lines that remain when your face is at rest. Many patients benefit from a combination, and your injector will map out which concern each product is solving.
Are injections painful?
Not typically. Neurotoxin injections are well-tolerated by most patients and not considered painful, often described as a quick “pinch.” Each injection takes just a few seconds to complete. At The Swan Center, we prioritize your comfort by using ultra-fine needles and comfort measures like ice for a smooth experience.
Will I still be able to make normal facial expressions?
Absolutely! In the hands of a skilled provider, neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport reduce muscle activity; they don’t stop it completely. We focus on subtle, refined results, so our goal is always to soften expression lines with careful dosing that preserves your natural expressiveness.
Can injectables and surgery be combined?
Yes, and at The Swan Center, that coordination happens naturally because our injectors and surgeons work within the same practice. Neurotoxins pair easily with fillers, biostimulators and surgical maintenance, and many patients use them as part of a longer-term rejuvenation plan.
