Smooth lines. Refresh your look.
Neuromodulators such as Botox® and Dysport® are injectable treatments designed to relax targeted facial muscles, softening expression lines and preventing new ones from forming. This quick, non-surgical procedure can refresh your appearance with little to no downtime, making it one of the most popular aesthetic treatments worldwide.
How Neuromodulators Work
Over time, repeated facial expressions — like frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows — cause lines and creases to become more visible. Neuromodulators temporarily block nerve signals to the treated muscles, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out and preventing the formation of deeper wrinkles.
Common treatment areas include:
- Frown lines (between the brows)
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (on the bridge of the nose)
- Lip lines and gummy smile
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Platysmal bands in the neck
Benefits
- Softens existing lines for a smoother appearance
- Prevents new wrinkles from forming
- Quick treatment — usually 10–20 minutes
- No anesthesia required and minimal discomfort
- No downtime, so you can return to normal activities immediately
- Can be combined with other non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels for a more comprehensive rejuvenation
What to Expect
Treatment begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals and facial anatomy. Dr. Morrin will determine the right product, dosing, and injection sites to achieve a natural, balanced result. Using a fine needle, the neuromodulator is injected directly into the targeted muscles.
Results begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full effect in 1–2 weeks. Smoother, more refreshed skin typically lasts 3–4 months before retreatment is needed.
Recovery
You may notice small bumps at the injection sites for 10–20 minutes after treatment, along with mild redness or tenderness that resolves quickly. Most patients resume regular activities right away, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying down flat, or rubbing the treated areas for several hours.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Morrin
Dr. Morrin’s expertise as a facial plastic surgeon ensures that neuromodulator treatments are not only technically precise but also aesthetically refined. She uses an artistic, individualized approach to maintain natural facial movement while softening unwanted lines — avoiding the “frozen” look and focusing on refreshed, confident results.
FAQ
How long does Botox or Dysport last?

Will my face look frozen?
Not with Dr. Morrin’s approach. She carefully tailors treatments to maintain your natural expressions while smoothing lines.
What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both work similarly but have slightly different formulations and diffusion properties. During your consultation, Dr. Morrin will recommend the option that best fits your needs.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes — neuromodulators pair beautifully with dermal fillers for volume restoration, and with skin resurfacing for improved texture and tone.
