Neuromodulators

Smooth Confidence

Here at Southeast Aesthetic + Wellness we specialize in wrinkle reduction and offer anti-aging injectables, including cosmetic neuromodulators, to temporarily minimize lines and wrinkles associated with dynamic movement aka “expression lines”. We offer Botox, Xeomin & Daxxify to soften and prevent dynamic wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance. Our treatment plans can meet the needs of patients with mild, moderate, and even more severe expression lines with results lasting 3-6 months, sometimes longer!

What Are Neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators are injectables with an active ingredient called a ‘neurotoxin’–a purified protein that relaxes muscles by temporarily preventing communication between the brain and the nerve signal to the muscle in order to treat dynamic wrinkles.

These products can smooth the most common expression lines on the upper half of the face, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. They also have some off-label uses cosmetically and can even address some muscular medical conditions. Neurotoxins are effective because they target one of the root causes of expression lines by relaxing the muscles, allowing the skin to rest, and patients can reclaim smoother and younger-looking skin. There are currently 5 different brands that are FDA approved here in the US for cosmetic use, including Botox, Xeomin and Daxxify. Results show up over 1-2 weeks and then gradually wear off over 3-6 months (or longer). Our expert nurse injectors will help you decide which brand is right for you!

FAQ

Patients who are unhappy with their appearance because of dynamic wrinkles can begin a treatment plan with neuromodulators to reclaim their youthful skin. Treatments are quick and virtually painless, can be scheduled during a workday, and require no social downtime. Other treatment benefits include the following:

  • Visible wrinkle reduction
  • Smoother skin
  • Younger-looking skin
  • Require little to no social downtime….remember a small bruise or two are possible

XEOMIN, a staff favorite, is a unique injectable made with a specialized manufacturing process resulting in a double-filtered formula. One of the key advantages of XEOMIN is its purity, as it lacks complex proteins, reducing the risk of antibody formation and potential resistance. With its proven track record of safety and efficacy, XEOMIN continues to be a trusted option for aesthetic purposes, offering patients the opportunity to achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Patients who begin a wrinkle removal treatment with XEOMIN can live free of frown lines for up to five months post-treatment. After we administer the injections, your results will begin to be visible in 2-3 days, with full results by 2 weeks.

DAXXIFY is an anti-aging cosmetic injectable that can smooth frown lines for up to nine months. Results begin to appear within one day, with full results by 2 weeks.

DAXXIFY contains a peptide for results that can last 1-3 months longer than other brands of neuromodulators. Those who want a solution for frown lines that also contains a peptide for long-lasting results can benefit from this anti-aging treatment.

BOTOX is a popular anti-aging injectable that is FDA-approved to treat most areas of the face: the forehead, the outer corners of the eyes, and the area between the eyebrows. Patients who choose BOTOX to erase expression lines can expect an improvement in the appearance of the treatment area within the first 24 hours and even better results within the first week.

The best results are visible 30 days post-treatment, and regular injections can help patients maintain smoother skin. After treatment, results, on average, last three to four months.

Treating Medical Conditions

We use BOTOX for wrinkle removal but also for medical purposes and design treatment plans for hyperhidrosis, trap muscle reduction, and TMJ. Hyperhidrosis is when a person experiences excessive sweating, typically from the armpits. Injections into specific areas of the armpit can significantly reduce sweat output to promote patient confidence and quality of life.

We can design a treatment plan with BOTOX for TMJ to relax tense jaw muscles and relieve patients from the discomfort associated with this condition.

Dysport is a neuromodulator designed to smooth frown lines between the eyebrows. After an initial treatment, the results are evident within the first two to three days and will continue to improve for the following 30. Results typically last three to four months before a repeat treatment is needed.

We recommend waiting 90 days minimum for repeat treatment. Still, depending on the product and how quickly your body metabolizes it, your results may last longer, so you’ll need fewer follow-up appointments to maintain smooth and wrinkle-free skin.

We can give you details about how to schedule your maintenance treatments so you can avoid any significant change in your results and maintain wrinkle-free skin year-round.

While there is always a risk of mild bruising when we put even a tiny needle in the skin, Patients need to prepare for this which is why we suggest avoiding NSAIDS / aspirin / alcohol / vitamin E / ginkgo for 4-5 days prior.

One of the main benefits of these anti-aging injectables is that you won’t have to plan around social downtime. You can return to work, go out for lunch, and participate in social situations without feeling self-conscious about your appearance. However, you will need to be mindful of the injection sites by following specific aftercare instructions. You will need to avoid the following for the first 24 hours or longer:

  • Strenuous workouts
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Hot environments
  • Touching the treatment sites
  • Professional skincare treatments

You’ll also need to keep your head elevated for at least four hours after your treatment to ensure the product effectively relaxes your muscles in the desired area and doesn’t migrate to other areas.

If you’re looking for an anti-aging, non-surgical treatment that can erase your expression lines for several months, you may be a good candidate for one of these neuromodulators. Patients must not be allergic to the neurotoxins in the products and should have healthy skin without any infections. Pregnant and nursing women don’t qualify for treatment.

Our anti-aging injectables can restore smooth skin and help you reclaim a youthful appearance. If you want to look awake, refreshed, and like your younger self again, we can help you achieve your goals with a customized treatment plan. We can give you more details about BOTOX, DAXXIFY, XEOMIN, and Dysport at your consultation and determine which product is the right choice for you.
