Neuromodulators: Botox and Xeomin Treatments:
At Dermatology Solutions, we offer cosmetic and medical neuromodulator treatments using FDA-approved products like Botox and Xeomin to help you look and feel your best. These treatments provide safe, non-surgical solutions to dynamic wrinkles, facial contouring, and certain medical conditions—with minimal downtime. 

What Are Neuromodulators?:
Neuromodulators are purified proteins that temporarily block the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. By inhibiting muscle contractions, they reduce the appearance of expression lines and treat conditions involving muscle overactivity or nerve signaling.

Aesthetic Concerns Treated in Our Office:
We use neuromodulators to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including:
• Brow lift: Gently raise the brows for a more awake, youthful appearance 
• Frown lines (glabellar lines): Smooth the “11” lines between the brows 
• Crow’s feet: Target fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes 
• Forehead lines: Soften horizontal forehead creases 
• Gummy smile: Reduce excess gum show when smiling 
• Jawline cellulite (dimpling): Improve texture caused by hyperactive mentalis muscle 
• Downturned mouth corners: Lift the corners of the mouth for a more pleasant expression 
• Microinjections (“Baby Botox”): Provide subtle results for first-time users 
• Upper lip lines (“smoker’s lines”): Smooth vertical lines above the upper lip 
• Neck Botox: Relax platysmal bands and tighten the neck and jawline 
• Lip flip: Enhance the upper lip shape and by relaxing the orbicularis oris muscle for a plump look without the filler.

Medical Applications of Neuromodulators:
In addition to aesthetic improvements, Botox and Xeomin are also FDA-approved or widely used off-label to treat: 
• Masseter hypertrophy / TMJ / jawline slimming: 
Botox injections into the masseter muscles can help relieve jaw clenching, reduce teeth grinding (bruxism), and slim a bulky lower face caused by overactive chewing muscles. Many patients experience relief from tension headaches and jaw pain as well. 
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating): 
Botox can block nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands. We offer in-office treatments for underarm sweating, palmar (hand) sweating, and plantar (foot) sweating, providing months of dryness and improved comfort when topical treatments fail. 

Why Wrinkles Form—And How Botox Helps Prevent Them: 
Most wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial expressions over time. By relaxing overused muscles, neuromodulators allow the skin to recover from constant folding. With regular use, you may even train your facial muscles to be less expressive, resulting in long-term wrinkle prevention. 
Tip: Use overnight silicone or gel pads on expression-prone areas (like the forehead or around the mouth) to further minimize skin creasing and reinforce results. 

Before & After Treatment Precautions: 
 
Before Your Appointment: 
• Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and alcohol for 3–5 days
