Neuromodulator Injections

often referred to as brand names Botox ® or Dysport®, temporarily relax facial muscles in order to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

Neuromodulators work by temporarily preventing muscles from contracting and creating creases. The result? A refreshed, natural-looking, youthful appearance created by reducing and preventing fine lines and wrinkles.

Safe, quick and effective, neuromodulators are a popular choice for preventing and softening signs of aging while maintaining a natural appearance.

Your Tox Appointment — Step-By-Step

1. Consultation

Before your first treatment, you will have a consultation with your provider to discuss:
✔ Your aesthetic goals
✔ Areas of concern
✔ Your medical history to ensure this treatment is safe for you

If you’re an existing neurotoxin client and are returning for a touch-up, you may skip this step.

2. Treatment

Your provider will cleanse the treatment area and map out the injection sites.

Your provider will carefully inject small amounts of neuromodulator into targeted muscles. The procedure is super quick — it usually takes 10–15 minutes. Most patients experience little to no pain.

3. Follow Up

Initial effects may become noticeable within 3–5 days.

Full results typically appear within 14 days.

We recommend having a follow up visit at 2 weeks so we can see the results and make adjustments as necessary!

4. Frequency

Neurotoxin injections last 3–4 months, so follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain results.

Everyone is different, so once you feel the treatment is wearing off, you’ll likely be ready for more!
