Want to smooth out lines or soften your expression? Neuromodulator injections can help you feel more refreshed, without surgery. These cosmetic injectables are FDA-approved and trusted by millions for treating dynamic wrinkles (the ones caused by muscle movement).
At Advanced Dental Implants & Oral Surgery, your treatment is done by trained medical professionals who know facial anatomy inside and out. Our top priorities are your safety, comfort, and natural-looking results.
What Is Botulinum Toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a purified neurotoxin that’s used in both cosmetic and medical treatments. When carefully injected, it temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles—giving you a smoother more youthful look while maintaining your natural expressions.
We offer three trusted brands:
- Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA)
- Dysport®
- Jeuveau® (sometimes called “Newtox”)
These injections are often used for:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Neck bands (also used to treat cervical dystonia)
- Excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most healthy adults looking for non-surgical wrinkle treatment are great candidates for neuromodulator injections. These products are also popular for jawline slimming and facial contouring.
However, if you have certain medical conditions that affect your nerves or muscles, you may not be eligible. This would include:
- Myasthenia Gravis
- Lambert-Eaton Syndrome
- Breathing or swallowing problems
We take your full medical history to make sure this treatment is safe for you.
Important Safety Considerations
Botulinum toxin is safe when used correctly, but like any medical procedure, there are potential risks. One rare possibility is that the formula can spread beyond the injection site. Serious side effects are uncommon, but can include:
- Breathing trouble
- Muscle weakness in other parts of the body
- Difficulty swallowing or speaking
These are more likely in people with existing neuromuscular conditions, which is why we review your health history in detail before moving forward. You’re in good hands with us, your safety is always our top priority.
What to Expect from Your Injections
Most treatments take less than 20 minutes. You’ll feel a few tiny pinches, but no worse than a quick bug bite. There’s no downtime, so you can head back to work or your day right after.
Here’s how results usually unfold:
- You’ll start seeing changes 3 to 7 days after injection
- Full results appear around 2 weeks
- Effects last 3 to 4 months, depending on the brand and area
You’ll get a custom dose based on your goals, and all products are FDA-approved and medically administered.
Botox®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau®—What’s the Difference?
All three brands work in similar ways, but each has its own personality. Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Botox® is the most researched and widely used
- Dysport® tends to spread more and may kick in faster
- Jeuveau® is newer and designed just for aesthetic
During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the option that fits your needs best.
Post-Treatment Care & Rare Complications
Most people feel fine right after their appointment. You might have a little redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site, but that fades quickly.
On rare occasions, complications can happen, including slight facial asymmetry, drooping eyelid (pstosis) or flu-like symptoms. If anything feels off, we’re here to help. Follow-up visits and check-ins are always encouraged.
