An expert injector with a focus in neurotoxins
What are neuromodulators? Neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify) are all a brand name for a type of neurotoxin called botulinum toxin. Botulinum is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is commonly used for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles. Botulinum can also be used for other purposes, such as to treat migraines, excessive sweating or TMJ dysfunction. The effects of Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin typically last for 3-4 months before the muscle movement returns to normal. Daxxify results typically last 6-9 months before the muscle movement returns to normal.
Who is an ideal candidate? Botox, and other neuromodulators, are a great option for patients who are bothered by dynamic wrinkles such as their frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. It is also a great option for patient’s with TMJ pain.
