Neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau & Xeomin effectively decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also preventing their progression. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscle activity that contribute to the formation of moderate to severe wrinkles due to facial expressions. In addition to smoothing out forehead lines, frown lines, crows feet, and bunny lines, neuromodulators can also be used to elevate the eyebrows, soften perioral lines and neck bands, improve the appearance of a dimpled chin, and reduce hyperhidrosis. Furthermore, neuromodulators can be used to enhance the appearance of the upper lip and corners of the mouth.
It is important to note that every individual's anatomy is unique and it is the responsibility of the medical provider to accurately assess and determine the appropriate dosage of neuromodulator to achieve the desired results. Neuromodulators act to inhibit the movement of specific muscles in order to alleviate the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and creases caused by muscle contractions. Some individuals may exhibit stronger facial muscles and may require a higher dosage of the neuromodulator to achieve optimal outcomes. This dosage chart serves as a rough estimate for the suggested amount of neuromodulator to be administered for popular treatment areas.

The effects of neuromodulators typically last for about 2-4 months. After that, the muscle activity that caused the wrinkles to form in the first place will gradually return, and the wrinkles will start to reappear. The length of time that the effects of neuromodulators last can vary from person to person, depending on a variety of factors such as the individual's age, skin type, and lifestyle. Some people may find that the effects of Botox last longer for them, while others may find that they need to have the treatment more frequently to maintain the desired results.
It's important to follow these aftercare instructions to help the neuromodulator work effectively and to minimize the risk of complications. It's also a good idea to follow up with your medical provider if you have any questions or concerns about the aftercare of your treatment.
The effects of neuromodulators usually begin to be seen within a few days of the treatment. However, it takes up to two to three weeks for the full effects to be seen.
We perform two-week touch-ups between days 14 and 21 after your treatment. If any neuromodulator is required in the areas that were treated at the prior appointment, we will provide a complimentary 5 unit adjustment. If more than 5 units are required, this is considered a dose adjustment, and the price per unit will be the same as what was paid at the prior appointment.
It is generally not recommended to get Botox treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding. While the effects of Botox on a developing fetus or newborn baby are not well studied, it is generally considered safer to avoid any non-essential medical procedures during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is always best to consult with a medical provider before starting any new treatment or procedure, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau and Xeomin are all injectable neuromodulators that are used to temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These treatments work by relaxing the underlying muscles that contribute to the formation of wrinkles due to facial expressions.
Here are some key differences between the three treatments:
Yes, Neuromodulators can cause headaches as a side effect. In clinical trials, headache was reported as a side effect in about 9% of people who received Neuromodulator injections. However, these headaches are usually mild and go away on their own within a few days.
If you experience a headache after receiving Neuromodulators injections, you can try taking over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help relieve the headache. It is also a good idea to stay well hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the headache persists or is severe, you should contact your medical provider, here at Andi’s Aesthetics, for further evaluation and management.
There is no evidence to suggest that Neuromodulators can cause cancer. Neuromodulators are made from botulinum toxin, which is a potent neurotoxin that is produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small amounts, Neuromodulators can safely and effectively relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines.
