Neurotoxin at home: how it works

What the injection does, how long it lasts, and the one question to ask any provider.

“Age gracefully, glow effortlessly” is how Noctis Aurora introduces neurotoxin. The aim on the menu is to prevent wrinkles and fine lines, smooth existing ones, and keep new creases from deepening. This guide covers how the treatment works and how the spa handles the price.

How neurotoxin works

Neurotoxin injections relax the small facial muscles whose movement folds the skin into expression lines. Botox is the best-known brand. The FDA’s 2002 approval of Botox Cosmetic was for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in adults under 65.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, results usually appear within a few days to a week and last about three to four months, after which the muscles move again and the treatment can be repeated.

Ask who is injecting, and what

In 2024 the FDA warned about counterfeit Botox turning up in several states, and it advised people to check a provider’s training and credentials and to ask whether the product came from a legitimate source. That is a fair question for any spa, including a mobile one, and the virtual consultation is the place to ask it.

How the price is set

Neurotoxin has no single menu price at Noctis Aurora. Selection and pricing are noted during the consultation, and in the spa’s words, “the final price will be discussed and determined at time of treatment based on client’s needs.” A free consultation is available, and one is required before the initial treatment.

Completed services are final and non-refundable. If something concerns you, contact the spa within 72 hours; when appropriate, the provider may offer a follow-up assessment or touch-up. The full terms are on the policies page, and the treatment itself on the neurotoxin page. Many clients pair it with skin treatments such as microneedling.
