To relax dynamic wrinkles we use neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, and Xeomin. These neuromodulators are versatile tools in aesthetic medicine. Wrinkle relaxers work by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, and smoothing wrinkles and fine lines caused by facial expressions. Commonly used to soften forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet, neuromodulators provide a more youthful appearance with minimal downtime. They can also be used to lift eyebrows, slim the jawline, and address neckbands. With precise application, neuromodulators offer subtle yet effective results, enhancing facial harmony and restoring a refreshed, rejuvenated look.

​

  1. Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines that form across the forehead due to repetitive muscle movements.

  2. Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines): Vertical lines that form between the eyebrows due to frowning or squinting. 

  3. Crow's Feet: Lines that appear around the outer corners of the eyes.

  4. Bunny Lines: Lines appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching up the nose. 

  5. Chin Dimpling: Caused by overactive chin muscles.

  6. Jawline Slimming/TJM (Masseter): Relax the jaw muscles, reducing the appearance of jawline asymmetry or creating a slimmer jawline appearance.

  7. Neck Bands: Vertical neck bands or cords.

  8. Gummy Smile: Excessive gum tissue when smiling.

  9. Brow Lift: Neuromodulators can be strategically injected to lift the eyebrows, creating a more lifted and youthful appearance without surgery.

  10. Lip Flip: Neuromodulators can be injected into the muscles around the lips to subtly flip the upper lip outward, creating the appearance of fuller lips without dermal fillers.

  11. Marionette Lines: Neuromodulators can be used in combination with dermal fillers to soften the appearance of marionette lines, which are the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth downward.

  12. Smoker's Lines: Neuromodulators can be used to relax the muscles around the mouth, reducing the appearance of vertical lip lines often seen in smokers or due to aging.

 I        What to expect

Before your treatment, one of our experienced practitioners will conduct a thorough consultation to understand your concerns, and desired outcomes, and to determine if you are a good candidate. Based on this discussion, they will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Providers will thoroughly assess your muscle movement to determine the right amount and dosage

During the procedure, small amounts of the neuromodulator solution will be injected into specific muscles using a fine needle. While some clients may experience mild discomfort, most find the procedure tolerable and relatively quick, typically lasting around 15 to 30 minutes.

2         Who Is Not a Good Candidate for neuromodulator?
