NEUROMODULATORS
BOTOX®, DAXXIFY®, DYSPORT®, JEUVEAU®, XEOMIN® 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.

ABOUT NEUROTOXINS
WHAT IT IS
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.
Botox®, Daxxify®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, Xeomin® and other neurotoxins 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.
HOW IT WORKS
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.

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.
