Dynamic facial expressions create the lines and wrinkles that often make us appear older or more tired than we feel. Neuromodulator injections offer a proven solution to smooth these expression lines while preserving your natural facial movements and expressions. These FDA-approved treatments work by temporarily relaxing the specific muscles responsible for creating wrinkles, delivering results that look refreshed and natural.
Our Philosophy on Neuromodulator Injections
“I believe neuromodulator injections should enhance your natural beauty, not change who you are,” explains Dr. Mustafa Aladin. “The goal is to help patients look like the best version of themselves – refreshed, confident, and naturally youthful. Every treatment is customized to each patient’s unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.”
At Skin Body Bar, we combine the relaxing environment of a traditional spa with the precision and safety of medical-grade treatments, ensuring you receive both exceptional results and a comfortable experience.
What Is Tox Treatment
Tox treatment, also known as neuromodulator therapy, uses purified proteins that temporarily block nerve signals to targeted facial muscles. By reducing muscle contractions in specific areas, these treatments smooth existing lines and prevent new wrinkles from forming. The most commonly used neuromodulators include Botox and Letybo, both of which have extensive safety profiles and proven effectiveness for treating dynamic wrinkles.
These injectable treatments work specifically on expression lines caused by repeated muscle movements over time. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, neuromodulators address the underlying muscle activity that creates wrinkles, making them particularly effective for the upper face areas where expression lines are most prominent.
Common Concerns Addressed with Tox Treatment
- Forehead Lines: Horizontal creases that appear when raising eyebrows or expressing surprise become more pronounced with age and repeated movement.
- Frown Lines: The vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called “11s,” can create an angry or worried appearance even when you’re relaxed.
- Crow’s Feet: Fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes develop from smiling, squinting, and sun exposure over time.
- Brow Positioning: Strategic placement can create a subtle lift, opening the eye area and reducing the appearance of hooded eyelids.
- Bunny Lines: Small diagonal wrinkles on the nose bridge that appear when scrunching the nose can be effectively smoothed.
- Gummy Smile Correction: Excessive gum display when smiling can be reduced by relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip too high.
Botox Treatment
Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) has been the gold standard in neuromodulator treatments for over two decades. With the longest track record of safety and efficacy, Botox is FDA-approved for treating frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Most patients see results within 3-5 days, with effects lasting 3-4 months.
Our aesthetic team brings extensive experience with Botox treatments, understanding the precise placement and dosing needed for optimal results. Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, allowing expression lines to smooth while maintaining natural facial movement. The treatment takes just 10-15 minutes with minimal discomfort and no downtime required.
“Botox remains my go-to choice for many patients because of its predictable results and extensive safety profile,” notes Dr. Aladin. “The key is understanding each patient’s unique facial anatomy to achieve the most natural-looking outcome.”
Letybo Treatment
Letybo (LetibotulinumtoxinA) is a newer FDA-approved neuromodulator that offers similar effectiveness to Botox with some unique characteristics. Clinical studies show Letybo may have a slightly faster onset for some patients and can provide comparable duration of results lasting 3-4 months.
This advanced formulation may be particularly beneficial for patients who have developed resistance to other neuromodulators or those seeking an alternative option. Letybo works through the same mechanism as other neuromodulators but offers a distinct molecular structure that some patients may respond to more favorably.
At Skin Body Bar, we carefully evaluate each patient to determine whether Letybo might be the ideal choice based on their treatment history, skin type, and aesthetic goals. The injection process and recovery are identical to other tox treatments, with results appearing within days and lasting several months.
What to Expect During Your Neuromodulator Treatment
Your consultation at Skin Body Bar begins with a comprehensive facial analysis to identify the muscles contributing to your specific concerns. We evaluate your facial expressions in motion to determine the optimal injection sites, dosage, and whether Botox or Letybo would be most suitable for your treatment goals.
The treatment itself typically takes 10-15 minutes using ultra-fine needles to inject small amounts of the neuromodulator into targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as brief pinpricks with minimal discomfort. No anesthesia is required, though topical numbing can be provided if preferred.
Results begin appearing within 3-5 days, with full effects visible after two weeks. The treated muscles gradually relax, smoothing existing lines while maintaining your ability to express emotions naturally. Results typically last 3-4 months, with some patients experiencing longer-lasting effects with regular maintenance treatments.
The key to excellent neuromodulator results lies in precise placement and conservative dosing. At Skin Body Bar, we always start with the minimum effective dose to achieve the desired outcome while preserving natural facial expressions.
