Frequently Asked Questions

Neuromodulators / Wrinkle Relaxers

What is a neuromodulator/wrinkle relaxer?

More commonly referred to as "botox", neuromodulators are FDA-approved injectable medications that temporarily relax facial muscles to soften fine lines and wrinkles. They are most commonly used for forehead lines, frown lines ("11s"), and crow's feet, but can be customized for treatment almost anywhere on the face or neck.

How long do neuromodulators last?

Results typically last 3-4 months. This depends on many factors such as the brand used and how quickly your body metabolizes the toxin. With regular treatments, many patients find their results last longer.

What brand(s) do you carry?

We offer both Daxxify and Botox because no single product is right for every patient.

Daxxify may offer longer-lasting results for some individuals and has developed a reputation for the "Daxxi glow," while Botox has a decades-long track record and remains one of the most trusted aesthetic treatments available.

Our focus is not on promoting one product over another, but on selecting the treatment that best aligns with your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.

Do neuromodulator injections hurt?

Most patients say Botox feels like a quick pinch. The procedure is very tolerable and takes only a few minutes. No numbing is required, but we do recommend icing the areas to be injected. This helps to reduce pain, bruising, and bleeding. We will provide you with an icepack.

When will I see the results?

You may start noticing smoother skin in 3-5 days, with full results in about 2 weeks.

Are neuromodulators safe?

Yes, when performed by a licensed medical professional. Side effects are generally minimal and temporary.

How should I prepare for my appointment?
  • Avoid alcohol, blood thinners (like aspirin, ibuprofen), and fish oil supplements for 24-48 hours before treatment to reduce bruising.
  • Arrive with a clean face (no makeup in treatment areas).
  • Let us know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any neuromuscular conditions.
Is there downtime after neuromodulator injections?
  • You may have slight redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection site, which typically fade within hours.
  • You should stay upright for 4 hours after your injections.
  • Avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas for at least 24 hours.
  • Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot yoga for 24 hours.
  • Results will continue to improve over 1-2 weeks.
