Neuromodulators
Have you noticed the wrinkles on your forehead?
Frown Lines? Or the fine lines around your eyes?
Are you looking for a way to prevent your skin from showing signs of aging?
It’s time to retrain your muscles if you answered “yes!” Neuromodulator injections may be the treatment for you! Diamond Advanced Aesthetics uses Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin to treat those unwanted lines and wrinkles that you can’t seem to remove on your own.
Botox is the most popular and most commonly used neurotoxin on the market. It was the first FDA-approved neurotoxin injected into the muscle to minimize wrinkles caused by repetitive movements, like frowning, raising brows, smiling, and squinting. Injections with neuromodulators can be done in as little as 15 minutes, depending on what areas are treated.
Botox and other neuromodulators can be used for more than just fine lines and wrinkles! These neuromodulators have multiple off-label uses, including teeth grinding, hyperhidrosis, enlarged pores, and, in some cases, rosacea.
There is a common misconception that neuromodulators “freeze” the face. When injected by a highly-trained professional like Diamond Advanced Aesthetics, who always has your health and safety as her top priority, they temporarily modify muscle movement to prevent deeper wrinkles and creases from forming while allowing you to continue naturally expressing your emotions.

Alcohol contains blood-thinning properties and should also be avoided for a week prior to treatment.

Do not lay down for 4-6 hours post-treatment. We also recommend that you do not do any physical activity or work out for 24 hours after treatment.
