Botox Toronto

Neuromodulators are able to significantly improve dynamic wrinkles of the face and neck within weeks. Dynamic wrinkles are lines and creases that are due to repeated facial movements, such as furrowing your brows or raising your eyebrows. They often appear in your late 20s and deepen as the years pass. Neuromodulators reduce the movement of the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, and the lines gradually soften, leaving you with a rested and refreshed appearance. The goal for a natural look is to soften lines, not create a completely frozen, expressionless appearance. At Compass Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists will customize your treatment to achieve your goals.

Neuromodulators may also be used to shape and contour the face. Injection of neuromodulators into the muscles that pull the brows down weakens the action of these muscles and results in a brow lift. This principle can also be used to lift the corners of the mouth and sharpen the jawline. Injection of neuromodulators into the masseter muscles at the angles of the jaw can reduce the bulk of these muscles and slim the jawline. Neuromodulators are also able to soften lines above the upper lip, smooth out chin dimples, and lower the upper lip to improve the appearance of a “gummy” smile.

Another benefit of neuromodulators? Not only do they make you look better—they make you feel better too. The mood-boosting benefits of Botox are well described, and neuromodulators can also help ease tension headaches and reduce jaw pain.
