Neuromodulators, such as Botox and Dysport, are brands of botulinum used to soften and relax dynamic wrinkles, meaning wrinkles accentuated by muscle movement, such as those of the forehead, frown lines (‘elevens’) between the eyebrows, and crows’ feet, leading to a more relaxed, youthful appearance.
Advanced neuromodular injection techniques in the neck can improve neckline contour, and in the masseter muscle can improve the contour of the lower face, and with jaw discomfort from teeth clenching or grinding. The typical duration of wrinkle relaxation for Botox and Dysport is approximately 3 months. Neuromodulator injections may need to be repeated to achieve your goals and to prevent worsening and deepening of dynamic wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid fillers have a proven safety record and are used for focused correction of hollows, wrinkles or folds that develop inevitably as the bony and soft-tissue structure of our faces recede, deflates and becomes more lax as we enter mid-life and beyond.
Our physicians will discuss which products may be best suited for your particular goals, for example, a chiseled jawline or the cheekbone, for augmentation of soft, thin-skinned areas, such as the lips, or for etched facial lines, or under eye hollows. These products last approximately 1.5 years, and may need to be repeated to achieve your goals. We do everything possible to keep you safe and comfortable during the treatment, such as applying topical or local numbing medicine and the use of cannula for product placement.
