Neuromodulator Injections
Neuromodulators improve the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles.
Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify®
Why Neuromodulators?
To understand if a neuromodulator, also known as a wrinkle relaxer, is the right treatment for your skin, it is important to understand why wrinkles appear. Wrinkles form over time from muscle contractions and repeated movements, such as smiling, squinting, frowning, or pursing lips.
But since no one wants to live life without laughing or smiling, luckily – science can help us battle the wrinkles that laughter creates!
How Neuromodulators Work
Neuromodulators temporarily block the chemical release that triggers muscle contractions.
When these chemicals are blocked, muscles can’t contract, leaving the skin looking smoother and less wrinkled.
Common treatment areas include:
Forehead lines: Horizontal lines that form from raising the eyebrows.
Glabellar (frown) lines: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, also known as “11” lines.
Crow’s feet: Lines around the outer corners of the eyes.
Bunny lines: Lines on the sides of the nose that appear when scrunching it.
Lip lines: Vertical lines around the mouth, often called “smoker’s lines.”
Marionette lines: Lines that run downward from the corners of the mouth.
Chin: To reduce the appearance of dimpling or a “pebble” chin.
Neck: To address horizontal neck or “platysmal” bands.
Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify® can also be used in other specific regions depending on individual needs and goals.
Procedure & Recovery Information
The procedure is quick and easy, and almost everyone tolerates it well. If desired, numbing cream or ice may be used for comfort measures.
The results of neuromodulator injections appear within a few days and typically last three to four months (sometimes up to six months).
It is recommended that you avoid exercise for 24 hours after your injectable treatment. Additional treatment details will be reviewed during your comprehensive consultation.
