Botox and other neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helping you achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion. They work by temporarily blocking signals from nerves to muscles, allowing targeted muscles to relax and wrinkles to soften. Ideal for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance without surgery, neurotoxins provide noticeable results with minimal downtime.
At Red Carpet Aesthetics in New York, NY, our skilled team of providers possess a wealth of experience in handling neurotoxins. We are delighted to serve the expansive New York City area, with clients from all over, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Schedule your consultation with us today!

Understanding Botox and Other Neurotoxins
Botox and related neurotoxins are established, reliable treatments for numerous aesthetic and medical conditions. The neurotoxin originates from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. Although harmful when ingested, the bacteria has advantageous effects on the skin’s appearance when injected in small quantities.
Neurotoxins interrupt the communication between the muscles and the nervous system, preventing targeted muscles from moving. This temporary paralysis allows muscles to relax, reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines.
Decades of usage and research have shown botulinum toxin to be beneficial, and Botox has been FDA-approved since 1989. Other FDA-approved brands include Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin.
What Can Botox and Other Neurotoxins Treat?
With minimal side effects and no recovery period, Botox injections are among the most frequently performed cosmetic treatments. While they’re broadly used for anti-aging purposes, neurotoxins also address several medical conditions.
Cosmetic concerns
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead lines
- Glabellar lines between the eyebrows, also known as “elevens”
- Wrinkles around the nose or “bunny lines”
- Frown lines
- Lines around the mouth and nose
- Undefined jawline
- Neck banding or “turkey neck”
Medical conditions
- Migraines: Neurotoxins can prevent and reduce the duration, intensity, and frequency of migraine headaches
- Bruxism (involuntary teeth clenching or grinding): Neurotoxins can reduce involuntary jaw tensing, thus relieving pain and preventing tooth damage
- Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating, typically in the armpits and palms, is treated with multiple injections in a grid pattern
- Muscle spasms: Neurotoxins can decrease the number and frequency of painful, involuntary muscle contractions in the face and neck.

Neurotoxin Treatments We Offer
Our medical spa offers several neurotoxin options to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. They include:
Botox Cosmetic
Botox is a well-known and widely used neurotoxin developed by Allergan and FDA-approved for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles. It works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau is another FDA-approved neurotoxin used for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles. It is often referred to as “Newtox” and is known for its effectiveness in reducing the signs of aging.
Lip Flip with Botox
In addition to treating wrinkles, we also offer a lip flip treatment using Botox. This procedure involves injecting Botox into the muscles around the mouth to create subtly fuller-looking lips.
Before and Afters
Your Botox results will start appearing after 3–4 days; Jeuveau injections may take effect even sooner. The treated areas should remain wrinkle-free for up to four months.
What to Expect at Your Botox Treatment
When you come to Red Carpet Aesthetics for a Botox, Jeuveau, or Botox lip flip treatment, you can expect a personalized and comfortable experience. Your appointment will begin with a consultation where our skilled practitioners will discuss your desired results and assess the best approach for your unique needs. The treatment area will then be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for additional comfort.
The injections themselves are typically quick, taking just a few minutes, and are done using a fine needle to minimize discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the procedure, but this sensation is usually brief. The entire appointment is designed to be a relaxing and rewarding experience, enhancing your natural beauty with precision and care.
Recovery and aftercare
Neurotoxin injections don’t require any downtime, although you may experience slight soreness or swelling at the injection sites. You’ll receive aftercare instructions to help maintain your fabulous results.
A few weeks after your appointment, you’ll welcome to contact us for a touch-up if so desired. To prolong your results as long as possible, use a SPF 30 sunscreen in your everyday skin care routine.

FAQs
Is Botox safe?
Botox and other neurotoxins have an excellent safety record and have been used for cosmetic and medical purposes since the late 1980s. When administered by a licensed injector, board-certified dermatologist, or plastic surgeon, Botox is generally considered safe and results in few mild side effects. However, it is important to note that these treatments should never be performed at home or by a non-licensed practitioner or med spa.
How do I know which brand to choose?
Your provider will help you determine which neurotoxin treatment is right for your specific situation. As both wrinkles and medical conditions are unique to an individual, the decision will be made by you and your aesthetician. Factors such as the location and severity of wrinkles, your medical history, and your desired outcomes will all be taken into account when choosing a neurotoxin treatment.
Can neurotoxin treatments replace plastic surgery?
Cosmetic injections such as Botox and Jeuveau provide a less invasive alternative to certain types of plastic surgery. The absence of downtime and robust safety profile make them an attractive choice for people who wish to avoid surgery and its recovery period. However, it is important to note that neurotoxin treatments can only treat dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements and cannot address sagging or excess skin.
Can neurotoxin treatments be reversed?
No, once a neurotoxin treatment such as Botox or Jeuveau is administered, it cannot be reversed. However, due to minimal side effects and no downtime, it is incredibly rare for patients to seek reversal.
Can I combine neurotoxins with other treatments?
Yes! Many of our clients pair their Botox with a dermal filler such as Juvederm or Restylane for complete skin rejuvenation. Depending on where your injections will be placed, you may be able to even get them at the same appointment.
