BOTOX

Neuromodulator Injections: What You Need to Know.

Brand Options at SJ7 Medspa: Botox, Jeuveau, Letybo

​

What is Botox, Jeuveau, or Letybo also known as Neuromodulators?

Injectable treatments designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments are widely used in aesthetic medicine to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repetitive facial expressions like smiling, squinting, or frowning.

​

There are several FDA approved neuromodulators on the market, each with unique formulations that provide effective results. These treatments all share the same core mechanism of action but may offer slight differences in how they perform or their duration of effects.

​

​

How Does Botox Work?

Botox works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, they temporarily relax those muscles, which smooths out wrinkles and prevents the formation of new ones.

​

These treatments are commonly used for:

• Crow’s feet (the lines around the eyes)

• Frown lines (between the eyebrows)

• Forehead lines

• Bunny lines (on the nose)

• Lip lines

• Chin dimpling

* Off label use: lower face lift

​

By relaxing the muscles beneath the skin, botox gives the face a smoother, more youthful appearance without the need for surgery.

​

​

Benefits of Botox:

• Smooths Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a refreshed, youthful look.

​

• Quick and Non-Invasive: The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes with minimal discomfort and no downtime, making it ideal for busy individuals.

​

• Preventative Treatment: Regular treatments can help prevent the formation of deep wrinkles by reducing muscle movement.

​

• Natural Results: Botox can provide subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your appearance without looking “frozen.”

​

​

What to Expect During Treatment:

• Procedure: Botox injections are quick and involve minimal discomfort. A fine needle is used to inject the product into specific muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch or mild pressure.

​

• Results: You can begin to see results within 7-14 days of treatment. The effects typically last between 3-4 months, after which the treatment can be repeated.

​

• Safety: FDA-approved with a long track record of safety and effectiveness. Minor side effects, like slight swelling, or redness at the injection site, are possible but usually resolve within a few hours. If bruising occurs it usually lasts a few days. 

​

​

Who is a Good Candidate for Botox?

Botox treatments are suitable for most adults looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Though younger individuals may choose preventative treatments. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid these treatments.

​

​

Why Choose Botox?

Botox offers a customizable solution for a wide range of aesthetic concerns. Whether you’re looking to smooth out forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines, botox is a quick, effective, and non-invasive way to achieve a more youthful appearance.

​

​

Setting Expectations: Dose Equals Duration

When it comes to Botox, the right dose is key to achieving optimal, long-lasting results. The effectiveness and duration of your treatment depend on the amount used—lower doses may soften lines but wear off more quickly, while a full dose ensures smoother results for a longer period. Results also vary based on individual factors such as muscle strength, metabolism, and treatment history. During your consultation, we’ll customize your treatment plan to align with your aesthetic goals while ensuring natural, balanced results.
