Here at Modern Skin Dermatology, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of care. We are proud to offer all of the leading brands of neuromodulators, including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify.

Whether you’re interested in “Mini-Tox” or a more comprehensive rejuvenation with full-face rejuvenation, our personal consultation allows us to tailor the treatment to your goals.
Botox relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles form from repeated facial expressions like frowning or smiling.
Botox blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting. As a result, the formation of wrinkles is minimized.
Botox effectively reduces forehead creases, crow’s feet, brow furrows, and severe frown lines. The treatment softens these lines, leading to a more youthful look.
The results appear gradually over up to two weeks. You’ll notice a reduction in wrinkles, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Neuromodulators like Botox can be used to treat conditions such as excessive sweating, migraines, TMJ pain, and shoulder slimming (a.k.a. Trap-Tox).
Botox Cosmetic is a treatment that uses botulinum toxin, a purified substance derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Botox injections are administered directly into facial muscles to temporarily relax them.
This relaxation helps reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, including frown lines and forehead lines. When these muscles are less active, the skin above them smooths out, giving you a youthful appearance.
The botox results typically last three to four months, depending on the individual’s skin and muscle activity. Over time, repeated treatments can help maintain this smoother look.
The difference between Botox and dermal fillers is that Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles underneath your skin, while dermal fillers use substances like hyaluronic acid to add volume and smooth out wrinkles that are not caused by muscle activity.
Botox contains botulinum toxin type A, which effectively reduces wrinkles caused by muscle movements. Botox treatments can also be used to treat migraine headaches and excessive sweating. On the other hand, facial fillers are ideal for areas that need plumping or contouring.
If you are looking to reduce lines caused by muscle movement, you may be a good candidate for Botox. Dermal fillers might be the better choice for adding volume.
Botox is used to treat patients who want to reduce facial lines caused by repeated muscle contractions. It works by relaxing the muscles under the overlying skin, which smooths out the wrinkles.
Even younger patients may choose Botox as a preventative measure to keep their skin looking smooth and youthful. The effect of Botox varies from person to person, but results typically last several months.
To make the procedure more comfortable, a numbing cream can be applied to the area before the injections. This ensures that the treatment is as painless as possible.
A Botox treatment session usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes. It is a quick and simple procedure that can easily fit into your schedule.
The injections are done with a very fine needle. This treatment is quick, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
After getting Botox injections, you can expect to see fewer lines as the targeted muscles start to relax. Most patients experience this improvement within a few days.
You might notice some mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, but this usually goes away in a few hours. In rare cases, a temporary eyelid droop may occur, but it typically resolves on its own.
It’s important not to rub or massage the treatment area for at least 24 hours after the botox injection to prevent the product from moving to unintended areas.
You will typically start seeing results from Botox within 5-7 days, and these results will last for 3-4 months.
After the treatment, you might notice some minor redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this will go away quickly. The effects of Botox gradually begin as the neuromodulator works to relax the targeted muscles.
By the end of the first week, you should start to see a smoother appearance in the treated areas. To maintain the best outcome, regular treatments are recommended every few months.
After getting Botox, you should avoid touching the injection sites to prevent irritation. Many patients are advised to avoid blood thinners like aspirin for a few days, as they can increase bruising.
It’s also important to limit sun exposure to protect your skin while it heals. An allergic reaction is rare, but if you notice unusual symptoms, contact your dermatologist immediately. Additionally, avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours to allow the Botox to settle properly.
No, Botox definitely won’t make your face look frozen or unnatural if the right dosage is used.
Our greatest concern is ensuring you look natural and refreshed. Dr. Lana Kashlan is dedicated to achieving this through her special “baby Botox” technique. This approach uses smaller amounts of Botox to relax your muscles gently, allowing for natural facial expressions.
With this method, you can still smile, frown, and show all your emotions without any stiffness!
