Neuromodulators at Avante Plastic Surgery offer a precise, refined way to soften expression lines caused by repeated muscle movement. You can smooth frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles with our full range of neuromodulators, including BOTOX®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, and DAXXIFY®, all tailored to your natural facial dynamics.
About
As you age, repeated facial expressions gradually etch lines into the skin. Overactive muscles in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes pull on the skin thousands of times a day. Over time, this movement depletes collagen, creates creases that deepen, and makes your face appear more stressed or tired than you feel.
Neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and DAXXIFY, temporarily relax those overactive muscles to prevent them from contracting as strongly. By blocking the nerve signals that trigger muscle movement, these treatments smooth existing lines and help prevent new ones from forming. At Avante Plastic Surgery, each product is carefully selected based on your unique facial anatomy, muscle strength, and aesthetic goals to achieve subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation that enhances your ability to express yourself comfortably.
Benefits
Neuromodulators provide a precise and customizable way to refresh your expression without surgery or downtime. By softening the muscle activity that creates repeated creasing, they help you maintain a smoother, more relaxed appearance.
Benefits include:
- Smoothing dynamic lines on the forehead, brow, and eye area
- Softening an overactive frown or tense expression
- Preventing deeper lines from forming over time
- Creating a more rested, approachable look
- Minimal side effects and no downtime
- Results that last 3 to 4 months (or more)
Options
Dysport
Dysport spreads slightly more than other neuromodulators, making it an excellent choice for larger treatment areas such as the forehead or between the eyebrows. Its diffusion allows for smooth, blended results while maintaining natural movement. Many patients also appreciate its fast onset, often noticing a softening of lines within just a few days.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau is a modern, highly purified neuromodulator designed specifically for aesthetic use. Its formulation allows for crisp, reliable correction of frown lines with a smooth finish that looks refreshed, not frozen. Patients who prefer a youthful, expressive look often gravitate toward Jeuveau due to its consistency and subtle, elegant effect.
Xeomin
Xeomin contains no added proteins, earning it the nickname “the naked injectable.” This purity can make it ideal for patients who have developed resistance to other neuromodulators after years of consistent use or those who simply prefer a cleaner formulation. It delivers reliable wrinkle-softening effects while preserving natural facial movement.
DAXXIFY
DAXXIFY stands out for its long-lasting results, often maintaining its effect for six months or longer due to its innovative peptide-powered stabilization. It’s an excellent option if you want fewer treatment visits (only one or two per year) while still maintaining smooth, expressive, and natural-looking rejuvenation across the upper face.
Candidates
Neuromodulators are a versatile option for individuals looking to soften expression lines and refresh their appearance without surgery.
You may be a strong candidate if:
- You notice dynamic lines that appear or deepen with facial movement
- You want a smoother forehead, relaxed brows, or softened crow’s feet
- You prefer a subtle, natural-looking approach rather than a dramatic change
- You are looking for preventive treatment to slow the formation of deeper wrinkles
- You have realistic expectations about the treatment’s capabilities and longevity
- You are in good overall health without active skin infections in the treatment area
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or experiencing neuromuscular disorders
Procedure
During your neuromodulator treatment, your provider begins by evaluating your natural facial movements to map the exact muscles responsible for your lines. After cleansing the area, they use a fine, precise needle to place small amounts of product into targeted muscles, ensuring balanced, natural softening. You’ll feel quick, momentary pinches, but the process is typically completed in just minutes. You can return to your day immediately.
Recovery
After your neuromodulator session, you may experience redness, pinpoint swelling, or light tenderness at the injection sites for 20 to 30 minutes. Minor bruising can occur and may take a few days to fade. You can return to normal activities immediately, but avoid strenuous exercise, lying flat, or massaging the treated areas for at least four hours after treatment. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions to help the product settle smoothly.
Results
You’ll begin noticing your neuromodulator results within 2 to 4 days, with full smoothing typically visible by the two-week mark as the treated muscles relax. Your refreshed look generally lasts 3 to 4 months, while DAXXIFY may last 6 months or longer. To maintain consistent softening and prevent deeper creases from returning, you can repeat treatments two to four times a year. Your provider will help you create a personalized maintenance schedule.
