Cedar Grove Aesthetics in Smyrna, TN is proud to offer neurotoxins. This is a popular cosmetic treatment that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause them. When injected into the skin, neurotoxins blocks the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which prevents the muscles from contracting. This allows the wrinkles to smooth out, giving the skin a more youthful appearance. Botox is a safe and effective treatment that has been used for many years and has been shown to produce long-lasting results.

Glabella, Frontalis & Crow’s Feet
Treating the glabella, frontalis, and crow’s feet with Botox can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles in these areas, giving the skin a more youthful and rested appearance.

A trained provider will be able to assess the specific needs of each person and determine the appropriate amount of Botox to use.
Lip Flip / Gummy Smile
A lip flip is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a small amount of Botox into the muscle that controls the upward movement of the upper lip. By relaxing this muscle, the lip will flip up slightly, giving the appearance of fuller, more pronounced lips. This treatment can be an alternative to lip fillers for people who want to enhance the shape and appearance of their lips without adding volume.
A gummy smile treatment is used to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile, which is when an excessive amount of the gums is visible when smiling. This treatment involves injecting Botox into the muscles that control the upward movement of the upper lip, which can help to lower the lip and reduce the amount of gum that is visible. This can create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Bunny Lines
A bunny lines treatment is a cosmetic procedure that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the side of the nose, also known as “bunny lines.” These wrinkles are caused by the muscles that control the movement of the nostrils, and they can become more pronounced with age or as a result of certain facial expressions.
To treat bunny lines, a small amount of Botox is injected into the muscles that control the movement of the nostrils. This temporarily paralyzes the muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. As a result, the wrinkles on the side of the nose smooth out, giving the skin a more youthful and rested appearance.
Dimpled Chin
A dimpled chin treatment is a cosmetic procedure that is used to reduce the appearance of a dimpled chin, also known as a “dimple chin” or “peau d’orange” (orange peel) chin. This condition is caused by the overgrowth of a small muscle under the skin, which can create a dimpled or uneven appearance on the chin.
To treat a dimpled chin, a small amount of Botox is injected into the overactive muscle under the skin. This temporarily paralyzes the muscle, preventing it from contracting and causing the dimpled appearance. As a result, the chin becomes smoother and more evenly contoured, giving the face a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Masseter
A masseter treatment is a cosmetic procedure that is used to reduce the appearance of a square or broad jawline. This condition is caused by the overgrowth of the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing. Over time, this muscle can become enlarged, giving the face a square or boxy appearance.
To treat a square or broad jawline, a small amount of Botox is injected into the masseter muscle. This temporarily paralyzes the muscle, preventing it from contracting and causing the jawline to appear square or broad. As a result, the jawline becomes more slender and contoured, giving the face a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. This treatment can also help with TMJ disorders.
Things to Know About Neurotoxins
Pre-treatment Instructions
This treatment is not recommended if you have an important event within 2 weeks of injection due to potential for bruising.
Avoid herbal supplements such as Ginko, green tea and anti-inflammatories of any kind for 2 weeks before and following treatment to limit bruising.
Post-treatment Instructions
For the first 5-6 hours following Jeuveau injections, remain upright and periodically perform facial movements in the areas of injections in order to work the Jeuveau into the muscle – e.g., smile, squint, etc.
Do not participate in activities that include heavy lifting, vigorous exercise or straining for 2-3 hours (it takes approximately 2-3 hours for Jeuveau to bind to the nerve and you do not want to increase circulation during that time).
Do not rub, touch, or manipulate injection site for 6 hours.
Avoid irritating products for 24 hours following injection.
Make-up may be applied gently before leaving the office, remember to wipe up and away from your eyes or brows.
Bruising in the area injected is normal and often expected, especially if treated around the eyes. Bruising can last up to several weeks.
Using/taking Arnica may help diminish bruising.
It may take up to 12 days for Jeuveau to take full effect.
A follow-up visit at 10 days to 2 weeks is suggested to assess results for subsequent treatments, particularly if you are a first time client. If full correction is not achieved, you will need to purchase additional Jeuveau for injection.
Re-treatment is typically needed between 2-6 months. Regular injections usually yield a longer lasting Jeuveau result.
If your upper lip was treated you will not be able to drink through a straw, whistle, or enunciate some words for approximately 2 weeks.
