Wrinkle Treatment Injections
Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin
Neuromodulators are commonly used to reduce wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Areas frequently treated are around your eyes (crows feet), between your eyebrows (11's), on your forehead. They can also be used to lift certain areas, contour your jawline, and prevent those pesky wrinkles from forming in the first place!
What to Expect
Appointment time:
Ranges from 20-30 minutes (depending if you are new to neuromodulator treatments)
-
If this is your first appointment we will discuss the areas you are concerned about and develop a treatment plan. I will answer all your questions and set realistic expectations of what we can achieve with neuromodulators.
-
You can expect some pokes from a tiny needle.
When will it start working:
It typically takes about 3-4 days (some brands start working faster) for the neuromodulator to start working and 14-30 days for the full effect. MicroTox- results will start immediately and continue to improve over the following 2 weeks.
2 week follow up:
You will be treated more conservatively when you are a first time client, treating a new area, or switching brands. Following up in 2 weeks assures proper dosing and you may need a little more units during this visit
Duration of treatment:
This varies from 2-5 months based on several factors, here are just a few:
- Dose- The duration that each brand is marketed for is based on that companies minimum dosage recommendation.
- For example, minimum dosing for the frontalis or forehead is 20 units, 11's or frown lines is 20 units, and crow's feet is 12 units each side. "Dose equals duration"

MicroTox
MicroTox describes an innovative use for muscle relaxers such as Botox or Dysport, that accelerates the effects producing an instant tightening and lifting result.
When injecting muscle relaxers using this technique, the muscles respond immediately with a skin retraction which is similar to a ‘shrink wrap’ effect. The skin will subsequently appear to be tighter and more compressed which allows fine lines to dissipate. No more waiting 3-7 days for your Bo/tox to take effect! You will walk out of the office with a smoother, tighter lift to your face or neck.
