Neuromodulators

We carry Botox, Dysport and Xeomin. All of these products are considered "Neuromodulators". They all act in a similar manner. The difference between these products are the inactive ingredients but they all achieve the same goal. Your injector will help you decide the best product to meet your needs.

Botox and other neuromodulators erase fine lines and wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles to form. It erases the lines we have now and is an anti-aging tool that slows down the aging process.  

Typically, these products last around 3-4 months. Individual results vary. 

Botox appointments take approximately 30 minutes. Botox procedures use extremely small needles to insert product into the muscles in your face that cause wrinkles to form. This process can be uncomfortable but most people do not consider it to be painful. There is zero downtime and you can even receive Botox during your lunch break. All appointments include a free consultation. 

Neuromodulators like Botox take about 3-5 days to start working. They take 2 weeks to fully set in.   Sometimes people require a touch up after 2 weeks, this is part of the process. 

All Botox appointments include a complimentary consultation. If you are unsure about Botox and just want to come in to discuss the treatment plan, we offer free consultation appointments as well. 

The most common Botox treatment areas are:

• 11 lines or glabella
• Forehead lines 
• Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)

Botox is a versatile product and has many more uses:

• Jaw reduction – creates a softer and less angular appearance
• Teeth Clenching/Grinding –  Botox can relax the jaw (masseter) muscles and dramatically reduce the effect of this disorder
• Excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis – Botox is effectively used for excessive sweating by blocking the release of acetylcholine,  causing sweat glands to stop producing sweat. 

Neuromodulators are sold by the unit. People typically receive 30-40 units per appointment. Your licensed injector will determine how many units you need based off your desired outcome. Units are $12 each
