Neuromodulators

Discover The Benefits of Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are injectables that are used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They work by blocking the nerve signal that causes muscles to contract, therefore limiting movement and preventing wrinkles from forming. This also reduces the appearance of existing wrinkles for a smoother skin surface.

There are several products that are commonly used, the most popular and widely-known being Botox. At You Derma, we offer Dysport®, Xeomin® and Botox®. Each of these products has its own benefits and use cases. Neuromodulators can be used on men and women to reduce the signs of aging and soften the appearance of fine lines, leaving you with a refreshed glow.

The treatment itself takes only a few minutes, and you’ll feel only a slight discomfort. The great thing about neuromodulators is that there is no downtime and the process is virtually pain-free! We’ll give you post-treatment care instructions to ensure your results settle beautifully. We’ll also give you information about when to schedule your next appointment to freshen up your results.

FAQ

Neuromodulators, such as Botox, work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. This temporary muscle relaxation prevents contractions, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the treated areas.

Neuromodulator injections, including Botox, should only be performed by licensed and trained medical professionals with expertise in cosmetic procedures. Meet our expert team at You Derma.

In most cases, you can resume normal activities immediately after your injections. However, we advise you to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat or cold exposure, and lying down for a few hours after the treatment to ensure optimal results.

Yes, neuromodulators can be safely combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser therapies. We’ll recommend the best combination of treatments tailored to your individual needs and desired results.

There is some discomfort when getting injectables, but they are much less painful than you might think! Pain will depend on your personal pain tolerance and the type of injectables you are receiving. At You Derma, we prioritize pain management and offer you a variety of options to make your treatment go smoothly and pain-free!

In some cases, such as when injectables are used to treat a medical condition, your treatment may be covered with insurance. If you are receiving injectables to treat TMJ, chronic migraine, or hyperhidrosis, please consult with your insurance provider.

No! There is a misconception that neuromodulators will make someone look “fake” – however, when done well the results can be beautifully subtle, resulting in a more natural, youthful and fresh appearance.

What Our Lovely Customers Had to Say

"I have been going to Gopitha for my botox treatments for years and could not be more pleased.

She ensures that I understand what she is doing, and I always feel comfortable in her care. The results are incredibly natural yet effective and I am always more than happy with the results. I highly recommend Gopitha for everyone looking for a top-notch botox treatment."

- Melissa 

"Nurse Jenna and the team at You Derma are amazing! The location was easy to find and the spa was so nice! They educated me so well and reassured me about all my concerns regarding neurotoxins. Nurse Jenna took the time to analyze my face to make sure I would receive the results I wanted! They are a professional and super nice team and I would recommend them to anyone who asks!"

- Sarah G.

"I booked an appointment with Gopitha in advance of my wedding. It was my first time getting injections and I was pretty nervous.

From the outset, Gopitha put me at ease. I explained to her that my objective was to look my best in my wedding photos but didn’t know what I needed done to achieve my vision while still maintaining a natural look.

WOW! She listened to what I said and delivered beyond my expectations! The results blew my mind! She addressed all the “problem areas” and made some great suggestions to correct a gummy smile on top of it. I was anticipating pain but the injections hurt less than a mosquito bite…and on top of it I didn’t bruise (which she warned me was a very real possibility in particular because I’m a redhead with fair skin). Could not be happier with the results - she took 20 years off my face (no joke, see the pictures). She is an absolute artist and so warm and friendly…I absolutely adore her!

Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back for a Bela MD facial to make my skin glow before my wedding!"
