Neuromodulators (Botox®, Dysport®, Daxxify®) are among the most popular cosmetic treatments for softening wrinkles caused by facial expression muscles. These treatments target areas such as the “eleven lines” between the brows, forehead lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, and lip lines.
Neuromodulators not only reduce the appearance of these lines at rest but also help prevent them from worsening over time.
For a full upper-face treatment—including eleven lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and bunny lines—45–75 units are typically used, depending on individual needs.
The popular “lip flip” is ideal for anyone looking to enhance the natural pink show of their upper lip. It’s also effective at softening fine lines around the mouth, often referred to as “smoker’s lines.” Results typically last 6–8 weeks, with treatment requiring 4–10 units depending on individual needs.
Neuromodulators can also be used to target muscles of the lower face for a more balanced, refreshed appearance.
Chin dimples can be softened to smooth the “orange peel” texture while subtly elongating the chin.
Downturned corners of the mouth can be treated to create a more lifted, youthful expression.
Jawline muscles can be relaxed to help slim and define the jawline.
For a full lower-face treatment, 30–45 units are typically used, depending on individual needs.
Do you grind or clench your jaw during the day or night, causing discomfort or pain? Neuromodulators can be used to temporarily relieve temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and reduce jaw tension.
Typical treatment requires 30–60 units, depending on individual needs.
Do you find your underarms becoming soaked shortly after putting on a shirt? Neuromodulators can be used to treat excessive sweating in the underarms, as well as on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Neuromodulators can be used to target the platysmal bands in the neck, which contribute to downward pull on the lower face and the appearance of jowling.
They can also help soften horizontal neck lines, though dermal fillers are another excellent option for these concerns.
Typical treatment requires 20–30 units, depending on individual needs.
