Wrinkle Reduction & Neuromodulator Treatments

All three are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work in a similar way. They differ slightly in their formulation, onset time, and how they spread within the tissue. Results from neuromodulator treatments usually appear within a few days. Some formulations may work faster and cover larger areas more easily. Others are specially purified, which may help reduce the risk of treatment resistance over time. Check in with our office today to see what treatment is right for you.

The most common treatment targets are forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Advanced techniques also allow us to treat areas such as nose wrinkles (bunny lines), downturned corners of the mouth, chin dimples, and vertical bands in the neck. As part of a customized plan, we can treat multiple areas concurrently to achieve a comprehensive, refreshed appearance.

By injecting small doses into the masseter (chewing) muscles, we can reduce the force of involuntary grinding and clenching (bruxism). This typically relieves tension related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder and lessens associated jaw pain, headaches, and earaches. The treatment also offers a pleasing aesthetic effect—a gradual, natural-looking softening of a square jawline.

This is a primary concern for many patients. A “frozen” look is typically the result of over- treatment or imprecise placement. When administered conservatively by an experienced dermatologist, neuromodulators create a look that is relaxed, refreshed, and entirely natural.

Most patients begin to see a softening of lines within 3 to 7 days, with the full effect visible at the two-week mark. While the duration varies by individual, results typically last between 3 and 4 months. After this period, muscle activity gradually returns. Many patients schedule regular maintenance treatments every few months; over time, this consistency can often lead to longer intervals between visits.
