Neuromodulators: Dysport, Xeomin, and Botox
keep the lines away and the glow at play
Healthy skin has a natural bounce to it, thanks to tiny support beams underneath called collagen and elastin. Over time, these small fibers are lost to damage from sun, stress, diet, age, etc. This loss of support leads to less bounce and more sag. Two sorts of wrinkles can form when we lose collagen and elastin - dynamic and static wrinkles. Dynamic lines are formed by natural muscle movement and expression. For example, even children have forehead lines when they raise their eyebrows. Dynamic lines are what give our faces expression and allow others to read our emotions. They are normal, helpful, and often a beautiful part of our appearance.
The problem for us, however, is that as skin loses bounce and muscles get stronger over time, these dynamic lines can form static wrinkles which become etched in the skin. Once there, static wrinkles are harder to treat! Here's where neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin come in. Injections with these medications offer a way to soften muscle movements, and smooth dynamic wrinkles as seen in these before and after pictures, Most importantly, this will prevent static wrinkles from forming. When neuromodulators are injected correctly and in a correct dose, the result still lets you express yourself too! When it is further combined with good skin care, collagen production can be increased to improve bounce, skin can be rejuvenated to minimize static lines, and a healthy fresh glow can be restored! In other words, you can be you again!

Botulinum protein works via tiny injections into the muscles that are overactive, for example in the forehead, around the eyes, or between the brows causing furrowing. Once injected, the protein enters the muscle where it reduces the chemical signals causing the muscles to contract. Over several days, the muscles soften, preventing the overlying skin from wrinkling.
