Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators, such as Botox® and Xeomin®, are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted muscles, effectively reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At Vitality Derm Surg, we utilize these treatments to address various aesthetic and medical concerns, including:
Aesthetic Applications
Medical Applications
- Facial Rejuvenation: Smooth out dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases for a refreshed, more youthful appearance.
- Periorbital Rejuvenation: As part of our Lift and Refresh Eyelid Therapies, neuromodulators help alleviate fine lines and sagging skin around the eyes, enhancing the overall eye area.
- Lip Flip & Gummy Smile Correction: Subtle enhancements to the upper lip can be achieved with neuromodulators, creating a fuller look without adding volume. Additionally, injections can help relax the muscles responsible for excessive gum exposure when smiling.
Bruxism and TMJ Disorder: Neuromodulator injections serve as a safe and effective adjunct for managing bruxism and temporomandibular joint disorders by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles, reducing teeth grinding and jaw pain.
Migraine Relief: FDA-approved for chronic migraine management, neuromodulator injections can help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine episodes.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): By blocking nerve signals responsible for sweat production, neuromodulators effectively reduce excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, and scalp.
Neck Bands and Jawline Contouring: Neuromodulators can soften the appearance of prominent platysmal bands in the neck and refine the jawline for a more sculpted look.
Results typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on individual factors like metabolism, treatment area, and dosage. Regular treatments help maintain the effects over time.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, similar to a small pinch. Treatments are quick, and numbing agents or ice can be used to enhance comfort
There is no downtime, and most patients resume normal activities immediately. However, it's recommended to avoid intense exercise, rubbing the treated area, or lying down for a few hours post-treatment.
