NEUROMDULATORS
Neuromodulators, like Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Daxxify® are versatile injectables that provide effective solutions for various cosmetic concerns. These remarkable treatments target dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet, by relaxing the underlying facial muscles. They also address fine lines, providing a smoother complexion. Neuromodulators can lift the brows, creating a refreshed appearance, and reduce the visibility of a gummy smile. For individuals with a square jawline, they offer a non-surgical facial slimming option by weakening the masseter muscles. Additionally, these injectables can alleviate hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and provide relief for chronic migraines. While their results are temporary, lasting several months, regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the desired outcome.

OUR NEUROMODULATORS
BOTOX
Botox is a safe and FDA-approved cosmetic treatment. It has been extensively studied and used for decades to address various cosmetic concerns, primarily targeting dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial muscle movements. Botox is considered a low-risk and effective option for achieving a more youthful appearance.
Botox treatments are highly customizable. Chloe will assess your unique facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. This tailored approach ensures natural-looking results that enhance your features while maintaining facial expressiveness.
DYSPORT
Dysport is similar to Botox in terms of its primary active ingredient and mechanism of action. It is a type of neuromodulator that contains botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles responsible for causing wrinkles and lines. Dysport is FDA-approved for cosmetic use and has been used safely and effectively for wrinkle reduction.
Dysport treatments are tailored to each patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Like Botox, Chloe will assess your specific concerns, discuss your desired outcomes, and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your features.
DAXXIFY
Daxxify is the newest innovation in neuromodulators that is FDA-approved for cosmetic use. What sets Daxxify apart from other neuromodulators is its longer lasting effects. Daxxify can last up to six months. Additionally, Daxxify is distinct from other neuromodulators as it is powered by a novel peptide technology. It Is the only formulation on the market that uses a peptide as a stabilizer and does not contain human or animal byproducts.
Chloe is highly-skilled in the use of Daxxify, as she was among the first injectors to offer this treatment and has trained at the Daxxify headquarters in Nashville, TN. Chloe will tailor your Daxxify treatment to your specific cosmetic concerns and aesthetic goals.
XEOMIN
Similar to Botox, Xeomin works by blocking nerve signals in the targeted muscles, leading to a temporary relaxation that smoothens facial lines. What distinguishes Xeomin is its unique formulation, with a purified form of botulinum toxin that lacks accessory proteins. This can potentially reduce the risk of antibody formation, making it an appealing option for individuals who may have developed resistance to other neurotoxin treatments.
Chloe uses Xeomin to address dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow's feet, providing a non-invasive solution for those seeking facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, Chloe will help you determine if Xeomin is a good choice for you.
FAQS ABOUT NEUROMODULATORS
RESULTS
The full effects of neuromodulators typically become noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, the neuromodulator works to relax the targeted facial muscles, leading to the smoothing of wrinkles and lines in the treated areas.
Most neuromodulators' effects last for approximately 3 to 4 months, after which the muscles gradually regain their normal function, leading to the gradual return of facial movements and wrinkles. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired results.
It's essential to note that individual responses to neuromodulators can vary. Some individuals may experience faster results, while others may take slightly longer to see the full effects.
RECOVERY
After the treatment, you should avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for a few hours. This helps to prevent the neuromodulator from spreading to unintended areas.
Similarly, you avoid activities that involve bending over or lying down for the first few hours after the injection. Intense physical exercise should not be performed for the remainder of the day. This precaution prevents the neuromodulator from migrating to unintended areas.
Other than that, you are free to go about your normal activities. There's no need for extended downtime, and you can go back to work or other activities right away.
SIDE EFFECTS
Some individuals may experience mild redness or slight swelling at the injection sites, but these typically subside within a few hours to a day. Applying an ice pack can help reduce any discomfort or swelling.
Mild and temporary side effects may include bruising at the injection sites or headaches. Serious side effects from neuromodulator treatments are rare. Women who are breast-feeding or pregnant may not receive a neuromodulator treatment.
