neurotoxins: Botox & Dysport Experience the difference
Botox? More like the Future of Youthful Skin!
Neuromodulators are more than just Botox®, they're revolutionary wrinkle-fighters that work like tiny "muscle whisperers," relaxing targeted muscles to smooth away years of lines and expressions.
What is Botox?
Imagine tiny invisible messengers calming tense muscles, that's what these injectable wonders do! They temporarily block nerve signals, softening unwanted contractions that create wrinkles. Think of them as a personalized time-out for your most expressive muscles, leaving you with a smoother, refreshed appearance.
The Smart Skin Difference:
When it comes to Botox®, entrusting your face to just anyone isn't a gamble worth taking. While the allure of smoother skin can be tempting, seeking a trained professional is key. So, why should you choose a dermatologist or their well-trained injector for your Botox® journey? Here's why:
Expertise Beyond Compare
Mastering the Art of Natural Enhancement
A skilled dermatologist or their injector prioritizes subtle, natural-looking effects. Forget the "frozen face" stereotype - they'll sculpt your beauty, not erase your expressions.
Beyond Botox®
Your treatment plan won't be limited to one product. Our experts have access to a toolbox of injectables and aesthetic procedures, allowing them to tailor a comprehensive approach to your specific needs.
Comprehensive Technologies
We have access to a full range of treatment options. We have solutions to all needs and won’t be subject to recommending something just because that’s what we have, like most practices.
Dermatologists are Skin Specialists
We know everything there is to know about skin. This allows us to go beyond what can be achieved at a spa or plastic surgeon’s office, to give you the best recommendations to meet your goals.
Patients for Life Transparency
We want patients for life, not for one round of treatment. This means we won’t sell you on hopes and dreams. Seeking out cosmetic intervention is hard enough without the car salesman approach. We promise to provide options to meet you where you are at and retain you for life.
neurotoxins: Cut through the marketing noise
Are neurotoxins safe?
Neurotoxins are considered safe when used by a qualified medical professional. The amount of toxin used in each injection is very small and highly diluted.
Will neurotoxins make me look frozen or unnatural?
A common misconception is that neurotoxins will drastically change your appearance. In reality, the results are subtle and natural-looking. They aim to smooth out wrinkles and rejuvenate your face, not create a completely new look.
Are neurotoxins addictive?
No, Botox and Dysport are not addictive. They are not a permanent treatment and their effects wear off after 3-4 months. However, we could say that you will like the results of these injections so much that you may become addicted to how they make your skin look.
neurotoxin Treatment Areas
Forehead
These lines can be both stationary (present at rest) or hyperdynamic (only appear when movement occurs).
Brow Lift
This simple application can provide a much desired lift to the outer third of the eyebrow.
Platysmal Bands
Decreases the appearance of wrinkled skin in the neck bands, commonly referred to as “turkey neck”.
Glabella
Known as the “11s”, found between the eyebrows above the nose, this is the #1 requested treatment area and is always required before treating the forehead.
Bunny Lines
Fine lines that appear when you scrunch your nose.
Armpits, Palms, Feet, & Scalp for Sweating
Hyperhidrosis or excess sweating can be eliminated with this once a year treatment.
Crow's Feet
Fine lines that appear around the eyes.
Smoker's Lines
Fine lines above the lips. Treatment here can help with quitting smoking, but can also make the use of a straw difficult.
Teeth Grinding TMJ
A more functional target. This can decrease harmful teeth grinding as well as potentially provide a facial slimming effect.
neurotoxin Treatment Targets
Corrective Wrinkle Reversal
For those of us who have wrinkles but don’t want them.
Preventative & Aging Gracefully
Botox is one of our three secrets to aging gracefully. It's not just for older patients, starting Botox in your 20s or 30s can make it so the wrinkles never appear in the first place, saving thousands of dollars later in life. This can be achieved with as little as two treatments per year and is something we recommend every patient consider if they have the means.
Teeth Grinding
A more functional target. This can decrease harmful teeth grinding as well as potentially provide a facial slimming effect.
Sweating
Hyperhidrosis or excess sweating can be eliminated with this once a year treatment.
neurotoxin Post-Treatment Care
Move those muscles: This helps the product distribute evenly for faster results.
Gentle touch: Avoid rubbing or massaging the injection sites.
Take it easy: Hold off on strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
Stay upright: 4 hours upright post-treatment keeps the product where it belongs.
Ice it (maybe): If needed for comfort, but avoid over-icing as it might affect results.
Patience is key: Allow 10-14 days for the full effect to unfold.

Types of Neurotoxins:
While the world of neurotoxins boasts a dizzying array of brands, each promising the fountain of youth in a vial, your true path to a sculpted, confident glow lies not in a logo, but in the artistry of the injector.
Think of it like picking the perfect paint for your masterpiece. Sure, the specific hue matters, but it's the skilled hand wielding the brush that brings your vision to life. In the same way, the best neurotoxin results emerge from the expertise of a highly trained, experienced injector.
