Neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport and Daxxify have endless uses in aesthetics, from preventing and correcting wrinkles on the face to lifting the brows or corners of the mouth.
Individuals without visible lines enjoy the preventive benefits of neuromodulators: relaxing the pull of muscles on the skin that create lines, lifting brows, relaxing jaw tension, improving asymmetries, or “flipping” the lip outward. Those with visible lines at rest can look forward to a temporarily smoothed appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes. Schedule your consultation with Elixir Aesthetics to discover the possibilities of what Neuromodulators in Tampa can do for you.
Erasing Imperfections
What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injections of a purified protein from the botulism toxin that work by temporarily blocking the nerve from “talking” to the muscle. Selectively weakening targeted muscles in the face can provide temporary improvements in lines and wrinkles, create lift to the brows or the downturn of the mouth, slim selected muscles, reduce sweating, and reduce flushing or redness.

Countless Solutions
What can Neuromodulators do?
Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved for smoothing wrinkles between the brows, but can also be used for a myriad of other skin conditions, such as:
Relaxing wrinkles on the forehead, between brows, around and under the eyes and nose
Lifting brows
“Flipping” the lip, which prevents the lip from inverting when smiling
Reducing the excessive pull of a gummy smile, dimples of the chin, or downturn of the mouth
Reducing both vertical neck bands and horizontal neck wrinkling
Calming hyperactive sweating in the underarms, scalp, hands, and feet
Relaxing jaw clenching and slimming the lower face by reducing hyperactive masseter muscles
Improving skin inflammation associated with rosacea
At our office in Tampa Neuromodulators are used for both preventive and corrective purposes. The dose can be titrated up or down to achieve desired effect and duration. Those without deeply etched lines can enjoy a lighter treatment with more natural muscle movement, whereas some individuals may desire less muscle movement. With our medical providers as your expert guide, we will curate a treatment plan that improves with each treatment. As the muscles continue to relax over time, wrinkles become softer, muscles become slimmer, and results can last longer.
Here to Help
Neuromodulator Consultation
During your Neuromodulator consultation, one of our experienced medical providers will design a comprehensive treatment plan to address your concerns and educate you regarding the treatment process, expected results, and your continued commitment to your skin health. Treatment areas and dosing will be customized to your unique anatomical needs and desired outcome.
Steps to Success
Neuromodulator Preparation and Procedure
After a thorough consultation, your provider will clean the injection area and meticulously administer your neuromodulator treatment.
The medication is delivered via an ultra-fine needle and most clients report very mild to no discomfort. Although typically unnecessary, a topical numbing ointment may be requested. Though at Elixir Aesthetics we always take our time to ensure a luxurious client experience, the actual neuromodulator injections take just a few minutes to treat the entire face.
Care You Can Rely On
Neuromodulator Recovery, Results, and Aftercare
After treatment with Neuromodulators Tampa patients may have mild redness and visibility of injection sites for a few minutes. Makeup may be applied immediately and typical daily activities may be resumed. Avoid strenuous exercise, and excessive pressure or massage to the treatment area for 4 hours. Although the risk is low, there may be transient bruising and swelling at the injection site. Full results can take up to two weeks to develop. Although typically not necessary, small adjustments can be made at two weeks to ensure optimal outcomes.
Maintaining your Neuromodulator results
The effects of Botox and Dysport will typically last three months, depending on your anatomy, treatment area, and dosing. Clients without deeply etched lines, those treated for jaw tension or excessive sweating may achieve a longer four to six month duration. The effects of Daxxify typically last four to eight months. With repeated treatments, doseS may be adjusted based on your clinical presentation. Some clients are able to decrease their dose or extend their treatment intervals after several treatments.
The number of units is dependent on multiple factors: treatment area, muscle strength, gender, skin quality, and expected outcome. Your medical provider will discuss optimal dosing for your cosmetic needs during your Neuromodulator consultation. Dose may be titrated up or down at subsequent appointments. Dosing is up to provider discretion based on clinical presentation, but the average Neuromodulator dosing is as follows:
The medication is delivered via an ultra-fine needle. Most clients report very mild to no discomfort. Although typically unnecessary, a topical numbing ointment may be requested. We also employ other pain reducing techniques such as ice and vibration.
Although the risks are low and temporary, there is slight risk of swelling, bruising, brow or eyelid heaviness, headache, asymmetries, and undesirable aesthetic outcome. Following proper post-treatment can help minimize your chances of experiencing adverse effects. If you do experience any adverse effect, contact your provider immediately.
