Neurotoxin Treatment

At Pure Harmony Med Spa in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, we offer advanced neuromodulator treatments designed to rejuvenate your appearance by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

What Are Neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators, commonly known as neurotoxins or toxins, are injectable treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles responsible for expression lines. By blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, these injectables prevent muscle contractions, leading to a reduction in the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. This results in a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Our Neuromodulator Options

At Pure Harmony Med Spa, we provide all four FDA-approved neuromodulator brands available in the United States:

• Botox®: The most recognized name in neuromodulator treatments, Botox is renowned for its efficacy in reducing forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.

• Dysport®: Known for its ability to diffuse more extensively, Dysport is often preferred for treating larger areas like the forehead, offering natural-looking results.

• Xeomin®: A “naked” neurotoxin, Xeomin is free from complexing proteins, which may reduce the risk of developing resistance, making it a suitable option for long-term users.

Each of these products has unique characteristics. During your complimentary consultation, our experts will discuss these differences and help determine the best option tailored to your aesthetic goals.

Common Treatment Areas

Neuromodulators are versatile and can address various facial concerns, including:

• Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines that appear due to raising eyebrows.

• Crow’s Feet: Fine lines around the eyes caused by smiling or squinting.

• Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often referred to as “the elevens.”

• Perioral Lines: Also known as smoker’s lines, these are fine wrinkles around the mouth.

• Jawline Contouring: Relaxing the masseter muscles can slim the jawline and alleviate teeth grinding.

• Bunny Lines: Lines that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching the nose.

• Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands): Vertical neck lines that become prominent with age.

• Hyperhidrosis: Treatment for excessive sweating in areas like the armpits and palms.

The Treatment Process

Administering neuromodulators is a quick and minimally invasive procedure:

1.     Consultation: Our specialists assess your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals to develop a personalized treatment plan.

2.    Preparation: The targeted areas are cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort.

3.    Injection: Using a fine needle, the neuromodulator is precisely injected into specific muscles.

The entire process typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, allowing you to return to your daily activities promptly.

Anticipated Results

Results vary depending on the product used:

• Botox®: Effects typically begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible by 7 to 10 days.

• Dysport®: Some patients notice improvements as early as 2 to 3 days post-treatment.

• Xeomin®: Results generally emerge within 3 to 4 days.

The rejuvenating effects of these treatments typically last between 3 to 6 months. Regular maintenance sessions can help prolong the youthful appearance.

Potential Side Effects

Neuromodulator treatments are generally safe, with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience:

• Temporary Bruising: Minor bruising at the injection site, resolving within a few days.

• Headaches: Rare and typically subside within 24 to 48 hours.

• Eyelid Drooping: Uncommon and usually resolves within three weeks.

To minimize risks, avoid rubbing the treated areas for at least 12 hours and refrain from lying down for 3 to 4 hours post-treatment.
