What is a Neurotoxin?
Neurotoxins are FDA-approved injectable medications made from a purified protein that temporarily reduces muscle activity in specific areas of the face. When strategically placed, they soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions such as smiling, squinting, or frowning.
Common treatment areas include:
Forehead lines
Frown lines
Crow's feet
Lip flip
Chin dimpling
Bunny lines
Jaw slimming
Neck bands
Treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and require little to no downtime.
Botox Vs Daxxify
Both are offered at The Glow Standard so your treatment plan can be customized to your goals.
Botox is the most widely recognized neurotoxin and typically lasts 3-4 months.
Daxxify is a newer formulation designed to potentially last longer in some patients, often up to 6 months or more.
During your consultation, we'll determine which option best fits your muscle strength, treatment history, and desired longevity.
FAQ
How much does neurotoxin cost in Albuqeurque?
Neurotoxin treatments at The Glow Standard are priced per unit. The total cost depends on the treatment area and the number of units needed to achieve balanced, natural results. During your consultation, we'll assess muscle strength and facial anatomy to determine the appropriate dosing for you.
How many units will I need?
Every face is different. Most patients require between 20-40 units for common areas such as the forehead and frown lines, though some may need more or less depending on muscle activity. Treatment is always customized, never standardized.

Botox typically last about 3-4 months. Daxxify may last longer in some patients, often 5-6 months or more.
Longevity depends on metabolism, muscle strength, dosing and treatment consistency.

When will I see results?
Initial changes are usually visible within 3-5 days. Full results develop around 10-14 days after treatment.
Is Neurotoxin safe?
Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use for over 20 years. Daxxify is also FDA-approved and clinically studied. When administered by a trained medical provider, neurotoxins are considered safe and effective.
Does treatment hurt?
Most patients describe the injections as a small pinch. Treatments are quick, and discomfort is minimal. The entire appointment takes about 15-20 minutes.
Is there downtime?

Although it is recommended to avoid rubbing, applying pressure to the areas, intense exercise, laying flat for the first 4 hours after treatment.
Can neurotoxin prevent wrinkles?
Yes. Many patients use neurotoxins preventatively to reduce repetitive muscle movement that contributes to deeper wrinkles over time.
