What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments derived from a purified form of botulinum toxin A. They temporarily block nerve signals to the muscles that enable habitual facial expressions, which allows the overlying skin to relax. Neuromodulators are FDA-approved to temporarily reduce moderate to severe lines and wrinkles around the eyes, eyebrows, and forehead.
Dr. Bellamy offers the following neuromodulators:
- Botox®
- Dysport®
- Xeomin®
- Daxxify™
Neuromodulators help reduce the severity of deeply etched wrinkles and prevent new fine lines from forming in the treated areas without inhibiting other facial movements. Dr. Bellamy meticulously targets only the muscles that cause skin to wrinkle, creating significant enhancements for each patient.
Neuromodulators reduce the appearance of:
- Crow’s feet
- Glabellar lines
- Forehead furrows
- Neck banding
- Other unwanted lines including lips and chin
Other uses for neuromodulators include improvements in migraines and jaw pain related to overdeveloped muscles of the face. Neuromodulators are often critical in non-surgical facelifts.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin
Neuromodulators smooth fine lines by preventing repetitive muscular movements. The results are a naturally refreshed, youthful-looking appearance. In 10 days to two weeks after your Botox®, Dysport®, or Xeomin® treatment, you’ll notice the wrinkles beginning to soften; improvements continue for up to a month. With no downtime and minimal discomfort, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin injections only take a few minutes.
Daxxify
The latest FDA-approved neuromodulator, Daxxify™, temporarily reduces muscle activity in the treated areas. Daxxify™ is the first and only FDA-approved, peptide-powered injectable neuromodulator for treating moderate to severe frown lines.
When choosing a neuromodulator, result longevity is a critical factor. Typically, Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® remain in effect for three to five months; however, Daxxify™ lasts for six to nine months. With longer-lasting results, you will need fewer annual Daxxify™ appointments to maintain your refreshed, youthful appearance!
Botox Lip Flip
The non-surgical Botox® Lip Flip is a lip enhancement that produces plump, more defined lips. To achieve a flipped appearance, Dr. Bellamy injects a precise quantity of Botox® above the upper lip and the corners of the mouth. This innovative procedure doesn’t add volume. Instead, it relaxes the lip muscles and curls them outward, creating a fuller appearance.
Am I an Ideal Candidate for Neuromodulators?
Ideal candidates for Botox® or other neuromodulators are non-smokers who are generally healthy and looking to reverse some signs of aging. They’re seeking minimally invasive facial rejuvenation options to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Dr. Bellamy recommends neuromodulator candidates should:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Live a healthy lifestyle
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have no history of neuromuscular diseases
- Have realistic expectations

What Can I Expect During a Neuromodulator Treatment?
Each neuromodulator procedure is unique because Dr. Bellamy will customize your treatment plan to achieve optimal results. Here are some general steps to expect.
On the day of your neuromodulator injections, our nursing staff will check you in, then you’ll review your procedural plan with Dr. Bellamy. He will answer any last-minute questions before starting the injections. Since the appointment is quick and relatively pain-free, you will not receive anesthesia beforehand.
Preparing for Your Neuromodulator Procedure
In the days before your procedure, Dr. Bellamy recommends stopping aspirin and most herbal supplements, especially those containing vitamin E, garlic, fish oil, or zinc, as these can cause bleeding or bruising. For 24 to 48 hours before your appointment, don’t drink alcohol.
For at least 48 hours before and after your neuromodulator procedure, you shouldn’t smoke, vape, or use any tobacco products. Nicotine constricts blood vessels, slows healing, and increases the risk of complications like infection.
Neuromodulator Recovery
Typically, neuromodulator injections are brief and painless. Most patients report only minimal discomfort, like a slight pinch. Depending on the number of treatment areas, your entire appointment should only take 15 to 30 minutes.
Afterward, you are free to leave our office and immediately return to your typical daily activities, including going back to work. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site; these effects typically resolve in a few hours to a few days.
After your neuromodulator treatment, it is crucial to thoroughly follow Dr. Bellamy’s instructions to ensure optimal results, including what not to do. Post-neuromodulator don’ts include:
- Massaging or excessively touching the treated area for at least six to 12 hours
- Expose the treated area to heat for at least 24 hours
- Do any strenuous exercise or drink alcohol consumption for 24 to 48 hours
Surgical Mastery Meets Aesthetic Artistry
How Soon Will I See My Neuromodulator Results?
You should start noticing visible results within two to four days of your neuromodulator appointment. Over the next two weeks, your skin will look smoother as the muscles continue to relax.
With optimal placement and recommended aftercare, your neuromodulator results will last from three to nine months, depending on the product used. Each patient will experience unique effects based on their body response.
