Botox in South Portland, Maine
Botox is a popular brand name for a type of treatment called neurotoxin, which is used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Neurotoxins are designed to deliver natural-looking results, helping you look refreshed and youthful, treating various areas of the face, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. While Botox is well-known, there are other neurotoxins on the market, one being Xeomin, which is just as effective and is an excellent option for people who may have developed resistance to Botox. Discover the benefits of both of these neurotoxins and how they can enhance your appearance with a free consultation at Med Matrix today!

Are You a Good Candidate?
To be a good candidate for neurotoxin injections, consider the following:
Good Health: You should be in overall good health, without any medical conditions that could complicate the treatment or healing process. Healthy skin is essential; avoid treatment if you have active infections or severe acne.
Desire for Improvement: Ideal candidates seek non-surgical options to enhance their appearance. It’s important to understand that neurotoxins provide subtle improvements rather than dramatic changes to your look.
- Neurotoxins do have some contraindications and may not be suitable for patients who:
- Have a known allergy to botulinum toxin or other ingredients in the formulation.
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Have active skin infections or inflammation at the treatment site.
- Have certain neurological conditions or are on medications that affect muscle function.
- Recently underwent facial surgery or procedures.
During your free consultation with one of our licensed specialists, they will assess if neurotoxins are right for you and discuss any potential risks.
What To Expect During Your Free Consultation

A customized treatment plan will be provided, detailing the recommended units, the areas to be treated, and the estimated cost. The specialist will explain the procedure, including what to expect during and after treatment. If you choose to proceed, we’ll schedule your appointment and provide pre-treatment instructions.

What to Expect on the Day of Your Treatment
- When you arrive at our clinic, you’ll check in and complete any necessary paperwork. A licensed specialist will greet you and review your treatment plan to ensure everything is set as discussed during your consultation.
Before the procedure begins, the treatment area will be cleaned and then the specialist will administer the neurotoxin using a fine needle. The injections are typically quick, with most treatments taking about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being addressed.
After the injections, you may experience some minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These are common and usually subside within a few days. The specialist will provide aftercare instructions to help you manage any temporary side effects and ensure optimal results.
You’ll be able to return to your regular activities immediately after your treatment, though it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for a short period.
If you have any questions or concerns following your treatment, don’t hesitate to reach out. At Med Matrix, we prioritize your safety, comfort, and satisfaction throughout your experience.
