Botulinum toxin injections are popular, minimally invasive treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles to soften wrinkles caused by repetitive movements—think crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases. Neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify help smooth lines while enhancing symmetry for a refreshed, natural look. Results typically appear within a few days and last three to five months, making this a quick, low-commitment option for facial rejuvenation.
Botulinum toxin injections, including Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are some of the most popular options for reducing wrinkles caused by muscle movement. These neuromodulators temporarily relax specific muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles—those that show up when you squint, smile, or frown. Common areas include the crow’s feet, forehead, and frown lines (often called the “11s” between your brows).
Results typically become noticeable within three to seven days and last about three to five months, depending on factors like your metabolism and the product used. For longer-lasting results, newer neuromodulators like Daxxify may extend effects to six months or more for some patients.
One of the best things about neuromodulators is their precision. Whether you're looking to soften fine lines, adjust your brow position, or refine facial symmetry, these treatments can be tailored to your goals. The key is an experienced injector who knows how to enhance your natural features without making you look overdone.
The treatment itself is quick—usually around 10 to 15 minutes—with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately. We do recommend pausing blood thinners 1 to 2 weeks before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising. With the right care, neuromodulators offer a subtle but significant way to refresh your look.
