Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are a class of injectable treatments that temporarily reduce or eliminate dynamic facial wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for their formation. The most well-known neuromodulators include Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), and more recently, Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA). These products are derived from botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that inhibits nerve signals to the muscles, leading to temporary muscle paralysis and a smoother skin appearance.

Facial Wrinkle Reduction:

Glabellar Lines: Vertical frown lines between the eyebrows.
Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines across the forehead.
Crow’s Feet: Fine lines around the eyes.
Bunny Lines: Lines on the sides of the nose.
Lip Lines: Vertical lines around the lips.
Chin Dimples: Uneven skin texture on the chin

Facial Contouring:

Jawline Slimming: Relaxing the masseter muscles to create a more tapered jawline.
Neck Bands: Softening the appearance of platysmal bands in the neck.

Medical Treatments (off-label uses):

Hyperhidrosis: Reducing excessive sweating.
Migraine Prevention: Alleviating chronic migraines.
TMJ Disorders: Relieving temporomandibular joint pain.

Non-Surgical: Provides a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures.
Quick and Convenient: Typically involves a short office visit with minimal downtime.
Effective and Reliable: Delivers predictable results with a high safety profile when administered by a qualified professional.
Temporary: Allows patients to adjust their treatment plan as needed, with effects lasting 3 to 6 months depending on the product and area treated.

Consultation: A detailed assessment of the patient’s facial anatomy and concerns is conducted to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Injection: Neuromodulators are injected into specific muscles using a fine needle. The number of injections and dosage depend on the treatment area and desired outcome.
Post-Care: Patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Normal activities can usually be resumed immediately.

Onset of Effects: Initial results are typically seen within 3 to 7 days for Botox and Dysport. Xeomin and daxxify results can take up to 2 weeks to kick in. Keep in mind that for all Neuromodulators including Botox and Dysport full effects develop over two weeks.
Duration: Results last approximately 3 to 6 months, after which repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the desired effects. Botox and Dysport duration on average lasts 3 to 4 months. While Daxxify and Xeomin last 3 to 5 months. All results for neuromodulators vary from client to client.
