How we approach it

Neuromodulators relax the small muscles that fold the skin when you frown, squint, or raise your brows. Dosed well, the lines soften and your face still moves. Our injectors map your muscles before dosing, start conservatively on a first visit, and see you at two weeks to adjust at no charge.

Often a good fit for

• Forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet
• A softer, rested look without a frozen one
• Preventative dosing in your late twenties and thirties
• Jaw clenching and a slimmer lower face (masseter)

Things we will discuss first

• Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Some neuromuscular conditions and medications rule it out
• Results are temporary by design
• Bruising is possible, especially around the eyes
• You must be 18 or older. Results vary, and a consultation is required before any treatment.

The visit

1. Consultation. Complimentary, 30 minutes, with the person who would treat you. You leave with a written plan and total.
2. Treatment. About 20 minutes. Numbing where it helps, photographs with your consent, aftercare in writing.
3. Follow-up. A two-week check for injectables, with adjustments at no charge. Skin and laser series are planned on a calendar with you.
