Maintain Firm, Radiant Facial Skin With Neuromodulator Treatment in Austin
Unfortunately, the majority of us start developing facial lines and wrinkles far sooner than we’re ready for them. While surgical procedures like facelifts can be an excellent way to turn back the clock on your facial appearance, you may not want to commit the time or deal with the discomfort associated with invasive cosmetic surgery. At Austin Cosmetic Medspa, we offer several neuromodulators, which are affordable, minimally invasive treatments that can provide effective facial rejuvenation without the need for surgery or a prolonged recovery period.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX is an injectable neurotoxin in a class of cosmetic treatments known as wrinkle relaxers. The world’s most popular cosmetic treatment, BOTOX is used to reduce the appearance of dynamic facial wrinkles and temporarily prevent new wrinkles from forming. BOTOX treatment leaves the skin smoother, firmer, and more evenly contoured with a quick and easy in-office procedure.
Daxxify
Daxxify is an injectable cosmetic treatment used to soften glabellar lines, also known as frown lines, between the eyebrows. Daxxify is made with botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin and the same active ingredient used in treatments like BOTOX and Dysport. When this neurotoxin is injected into the facial muscles between the eyebrows, it relaxes them and stops contractions by blocking communication with the nerves. This causes the corresponding skin to become significantly smoother and firmer.
What Is Special About Daxxify?
Although Daxxify is often compared to other injectable neurotoxins, it is unique. All neurotoxins require a stabilizer, and with treatments like BOTOX and Dysport, human or animal byproducts are used for that purpose. However, instead of using human or animal proteins, Daxxify uses a novel peptide as its stabilizer. This not only makes Daxxify an entirely vegan product, but it also helps it produce long-lasting results that look amazingly natural.
Benefits of Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are effective, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatments that can offer all of the following benefits:
- Softening of dynamic facial wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines
- Smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking facial skin
- Improved facial harmony
- Natural-looking results
- Prevention of new dynamic wrinkles
- Little to no recovery time required
- Improved self-confidence
Who Is a Good Candidate for Neuromodulator Treatment?
Adults looking to eliminate and/or prevent dynamic facial wrinkles may be good candidates for neuromodulator treatment. While products like BOTOX, Daxxify, Dysport, and Xeomin are most commonly used to reduce the appearance of existing lines and wrinkles, they’re also wonderful options for younger individuals who would like to keep their facial skin looking smooth and radiant.
To be an ideal candidate for neuromodulator treatment, it’s important that you’re in generally good physical health, have no active skin infections, and are not allergic to botulinum toxin.
