Expression lines are a normal sign of aging, but if you don’t treat them, they’ll only worsen. At Aspire Aesthetics in Hendersonville, TN, we offer injectable neuromodulators that temporarily smooth these expression lines so you can maintain younger-looking skin long-term. We offer Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. Based on your needs, we will design a custom treatment plan that can address any of your areas of concern. During your consultation, we will assess your goals and discuss if you are a good candidate for one or more of these injectables.
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are cosmetic injectables that contain a purified protein called botulinum toxin A. This ingredient is so effective at treating expression lines because when injected directly into the muscles whose repetitive movements and contractions cause dynamic wrinkles on the upper half of the face, it relaxes those muscles.
Since we know that different patients have different needs when treating expression lines, we offer different brands that can target and treat dynamic wrinkles at their source and help create a smooth, wrinkle-free complexion.
Botox
Botox is the oldest, most popular, renowned injectable in the cosmetic world. It’s known for its effectiveness and versatility and can treat cosmetic and medical concerns. It’s a safe and effective treatment option for those who want to smooth wrinkles or alleviate the symptoms resulting from muscular medical conditions.
Botox is FDA approved to smooth expression lines on the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes. Results appear within seven days of treatment and last approximately three to four months.
A Treatment for TMJ and Hyperhidrosis
Not only can we use Botox for cosmetic purposes, but we can also inject it into specific areas of the body to address medical conditions, specifically TMJ and hyperhidrosis. Different factors cause TMJ pain, but at the root, it’s caused by tense jaw muscles. Botox injections into the muscles around the jaw area can relax those muscles to help alleviate pain and discomfort.
Additionally, we can use Botox injections to treat hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes men and women to sweat profusely from the armpits, palms, or feet. We can inject it into specific areas in the armpit to block sweat glands, help establish a sense of normalcy, and increase confidence by reducing self-consciousness.
Dysport
Dysport is another injectable neuromodulator that is designed to specifically target frown lines. Those with moderate to more severe frown lines can utilize this injectable to smooth those expression lines and temporarily treat the wrinkles in the areas. Dysport can temporarily eliminate frown lines for months by relaxing muscles around the eyebrows and in the forehead.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau is another wrinkle-relaxing injectable that contains a purified form of botulinum toxin A to relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. We can use this injectable to treat frown lines between the eyebrows. Once you undergo treatment, you’ll see improvements within a few days of your injections, and your results can last up to three months.
Xeomin
Xeomin is an injectable neurotoxin that qualifies as a neuromodulator because, like Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau, it’s designed to temporarily treat expression lines at the muscular level. However, Xeomin is different from other neuromodulators because it’s made with a specialized formula free of additional proteins.
Whether you are concerned about the type of ingredients you put into your body or are at risk of an allergic reaction to other similar products, this injectable may be the right choice for you. Xeomin specifically treats frown lines between the brows, and results appear within a few days of treatment and last approximately three months.
The Treatment Process
Your Consultation: Determining Your Eligibility
Since we offer different neuromodulators, you may be overwhelmed when determining which one is right for you. The good news is that you don’t have to choose the right injectable because we will take care of that for you.
The first step in the treatment process is an initial consultation which helps us learn more about your goals, examine your dynamic wrinkles in person, and ask you some questions about your medical history. Once we confirm that you aren’t allergic to any of the ingredients in these injectables, aren’t currently pregnant or nursing, and have healthy skin free of active breakouts or infections in the planned treatment area, we can confirm your treatment eligibility.
Creating Your Treatment Plan
Once we confirm that you are a good candidate for one or more of these injectables, we will design your treatment plan. We’ll give you details about the injection process, how many units we plan to use to address your area of concern, and how many injections you will receive. We’ll answer any questions you have and then schedule your appointment.
Your Appointment
On the day of your appointment, if you can, arrive with clean skin. If you can’t, we can cleanse it for you before beginning the treatment process. Based on the total number of areas you desire to treat, we will make a series of quick injections into the muscles that have caused your expression lines. We can use a topical numbing solution during the treatment to enhance your comfort if needed.
Injections take less than 30 minutes to complete, and then you can resume your normal daily activities. We’ll provide you with a list of aftercare instructions, so you know what activities to avoid and how to promote the best possible post-treatment results.
Your Results
After your injections, you won’t experience immediate results. It takes time for the ingredients in all of these products to effectively relax the facial muscles. Botox typically takes longer to deliver results, but on average, you can expect to see improvements in your lines and wrinkles within three to seven days of treatment, possibly sooner. It can take up to 30 days to achieve the best results, and once your results set in, they will last anywhere from three to six months.
On average, patients must schedule follow-up treatments every three months to maintain results. Still, some patients are slow metabolizers, meaning it takes their body longer to eliminate the products from the system resulting in longer-lasting results. You can schedule follow-up visits as soon as you see changes in your results to maintain wrinkle-free skin.
Smooth Your Expression Lines and Achieve Youthful Skin
Whether you want to use neuromodulators to smooth your wrinkles or treat medical-related concerns like TMJ and hyperhidrosis, we can create a unique treatment plan that meets all of your needs. You don’t have to let wrinkles affect your confidence, and you don’t have to let hyperhidrosis or TMJ pain interfere with daily life. Instead, invest in a treatment that can increase your confidence and help you look and feel like a brand new you.
