What are neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators are FDA-approved, wrinkle-reducing injectables consisting of botulinum toxin, a toxin that relaxes muscles linked to fine lines and wrinkles and smoothes treated skin. Dr. Dinh gently injects these substances beneath your skin in areas that concern you to eliminate common signs of aging without pain, downtime, or invasive treatments.

Which wrinkles do neuromodulators help address?

Neuromodulators at DC Dermatology can reduce or eliminate the following and more:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Crow’s feet
Forehead lines
Aging skin
Frown lines
Skin sagging

Botox and other neuromodulators help smooth and tighten your skin, reduce signs of aging, promote a younger look, and help you gain confidence by exceeding your cosmetic goals.

These injectables can also help reduce excessive sweating, eye twitching, lazy eye, and migraines.

Am I a candidate for neuromodulator injections?

To determine if you’re a candidate for neuromodulators and which specific type of injections are right for you, Dr. Dinh examines your skin, discusses your medical history and goals, and personalizes a treatment plan that’s best suited to your needs.

What should I expect when receiving neuromodulators?

Dr. Dinh cleans the treatment area and uses a topical anesthetic to numb it if necessary. She gently injects Botox, Xeomin, or other injectables beneath your skin in strategic areas while you rest comfortably. Each injection lasts about a minute, though it’s typical to receive multiple injections during your appointment.

What happens after neuromodulator injections?

Potential side effects after receiving neuromodulator injections include redness, tenderness, and swelling at the injection sites. Don’t rub the treated areas to avoid spreading the toxin to other areas of your body.

There’s no downtime needed so that you can resume typical daily activities immediately after your treatment. The final results might take several days to appear, but they often last 3-5 months before you would schedule repeat injections to maintain long-term anti-aging outcomes.
