We offer BOTOX® and Dysport® to effectively treat fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. These FDA-approved treatments temporarily relax targeted muscles, reducing the visible signs of aging and helping you maintain a naturally smooth look.
Overview
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments, such as BOTOX and Dysport, that temporarily relax the muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. When you receive a neuromodulator treatment, it targets specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and thus smoothing out the overlying skin. This process effectively reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. Neuromodulators work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, offering you a refreshed, younger-looking appearance without surgery.

What Should I Do Before My Treatment?
Before your neuromodulator treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements that could increase bruising. Consult with your provider for any specific pre-treatment instructions.
Treatment Options
BOTOX
BOTOX is one of the most well-known neuromodulators, widely used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. With a track record of safety and effectiveness, BOTOX can smooth out crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. The treatment is quick, and the results typically appear within a week and last for three to four months.
Dysport
Dysport is another effective neuromodulator that targets wrinkles and lines with a slightly different formulation than BOTOX. It works similarly by inhibiting nerve signals to the muscles, but it has a unique spreading effect that can be advantageous for treating larger areas like the forehead. Dysport is known for its rapid onset of action, with visible results often seen within a few days. Dysport’s effects can also last three to four months.
