Neuromodulator Injections

You can treat several areas of the face and neck with neuromodulators. We focus on the muscles that cause lines when you frown, smile, squint, or raise your eyebrows.

Common cosmetic areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
• Bunny lines (on the nose)
• Chin dimpling
• Lines around the mouth
• Neck bands (Nefertiti lift)

We also treat less common areas like the jawline (masseters) to create a slimmer look.

In addition to cosmetic purposes, neuromodulators can help with:

• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
• Teeth grinding or jaw tension (TMJ symptoms)
• Migraine relief

During your consultation, we will review your concerns and help you choose the areas that will give you the best results. You may already have ideas, or you can rely on our team’s guidance.

At Allura Clinics, we use two brands for neuromodulator treatments: Botox and Dysport. These products have been tested extensively and are known for their consistent results.

We choose to carry Botox and Dysport because they perform well across a wide range of treatment areas. Both are effective, and the differences between them are minor—mainly in how they spread in the tissue and how fast the results appear.

Some clients prefer one over the other based on how their body responds. During your consultation, we’ll help you decide which brand suits your treatment goals best.

The process begins with a consultation where we assess your goals and the areas you want to treat. Based on that conversation, we create a personalized treatment plan that outlines which muscles to target and how many units you’ll need.

The injection process itself is quick and usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. You can choose to get the treatment the same day as your consultation, or book it for a later time.

You’ll come back two weeks later for a follow-up. This appointment lets us see how your muscles have responded and make small adjustments if needed. Most clients find this check-in reassuring and helpful.

Recovery

There’s no required downtime after neuromodulator injections. You can return to work or other daily activities right away.
Some mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites is possible, but it usually fades within a few days. We’ll give you aftercare instructions to help reduce the chance of bruising and to protect your results.
While you don’t need to take time off, we recommend avoiding intense workouts, heat exposure, or lying flat for a few hours after your appointment. These precautions help the product settle into the right place.

To keep your results looking their best, it’s important to stay on a regular treatment schedule and take care of your skin between appointments. Neuromodulators work by relaxing specific muscles, but the overall outcome also depends on how well your skin is maintained.

We recommend:

• Repeating treatments every three to four months
• Using medical-grade skincare, especially products that support hydration and firmness
• Wearing daily sunscreen to protect against sun damage
• Staying hydrated and getting enough sleep

If you use products like Vivier Ultimage or Skinceuticals Ptox serum, they can help extend the effect of your treatments slightly by supporting the skin’s texture and tone.

Repeating Treatment

To avoid the return of lines and maintain a consistent appearance, most people repeat their neuromodulator injections about every three months. This timing allows the effects to stay steady without gaps in muscle relaxation.

We advise against booking treatments more frequently than every three months. Treating too soon can cause your body to build tolerance to the product, which can reduce its effectiveness over time.

At each follow-up, we review how your muscles are responding and can adjust the treatment plan if needed. Over time, the dosing or placement may change slightly as your skin and facial structure evolve.

Your consultation is a chance to discuss your goals with our experienced team and get clear, honest guidance about what neuromodulator treatment can do for you.

You’ll meet with Dr. Husain or one of our trained providers, who will assess your facial structure, answer your questions, and build a personalized treatment plan based on what you want to achieve.
You can book a consultation without committing to treatment that day. Some people prefer to take time to think it over, while others choose to start right away. If you’re ready, we always schedule enough time for treatment during your first visit.

The consultation fee is $75 for new clients and is applied to your total if you decide to proceed with injections the same day. Returning clients and those who’ve already seen Dr. Husain don’t pay a consultation fee.
