Neuromodulators

SMOOTH AWAY WRINKLE

BOTOX®, DYSPORT®, JEUVEAU®, and other neuromodulators are injectable treatments derived from botulinum toxin type A, a naturally occurring protein. These treatments are used to temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive muscle movements.

Neurotoxins are an FDA approved treatment that have been used medically since the 1970s. They are safe, highly effective and require zero downtime. When carefully injected, Botox®, Daxxify® Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin® give skin a smooth and renewed appearance that looks natural.

About Neuromodulators

How it Works

Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and other neuromodulators target the underlying causes of wrinkles and frown lines. The neurotoxin blocks the signal from the nerves that make the muscle move. This allows the wrinkles to soften and prevents new wrinkles from forming.

What to Expect

Treatment is quick & can typically be completed with a handful of tiny injections in less than 30 minutes. Noticeable results can generally be observed 5-7 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post treatment.

Neuromodulator FAQs

  • It depends on several factors including: which area(s) you are trying to treat (11s, forehead, crow’s feet, etc), the strength of your facial muscles, and how deep your existing lines are. We recommend a complimentary consultation with our nurse injector to create a plan that is right for you.

  • Most clients say it feels like a tiny pinch. The needle is quite small, goes in smoothly, and the neurotoxin is injected quickly. All of this results in minimal pain. No numbing agents are used for this treatment.

  • There’s virtually zero downtime with these treatments. Neurotoxins are often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure,” since most patients return directly to work or normal activity immediately. Some redness and swelling may occur at the injection sites, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Very rarely, patients may experience minor bruising.

  • Results last around 3-6 months, depending on the location of the treatment, your muscle activity and your body’s individual response.

  • While Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are all neurotoxin injectables used to treat and prevent wrinkles, their chemical compositions slightly differ. Your nurse injector will educate you on the differences & allow you to choose which product you’d prefer to use. BOTOX® takes about 5 to 7 days for results to appear and lasts about 3 to 4 months. Dysport® takes about 2 to 4 days for results to appear and lasts about 4 months. Xeomin® takes about 5 to 7 days for results to appear and lasts about 3 to 4 months.

  • Neurotoxin injections are very common, low risk procedures. Headaches, minor bruising, and swelling at the injection site are the most reported side effects, although are quite rare. As with any treatment there are always risks, however, your nurse injector will cover all bases prior to treatment.
