Neurotoxins in San Mateo, CA

Neuromodulators | Pink Opal Aesthetics | San Mateo, CA

Neurotoxins

Neuromodulators or neurotoxins are just fancy names for Botox and other products such as Dysport and Jeaveau. These are the #1 requested MedSpa services because of how effective they are. Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily relax the muscles and reduce the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. They work by inhibiting the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is responsible for muscle contraction. When the muscle is unable to contract, wrinkles and fine lines are reduced.

As mentioned, the most well-known and commonly used neuromodulator is Botox, but other products such as Dysport and Jeuveau are also available at Pink Opal Aesthetics.
Neuromodulator injections should only be administered by qualified healthcare professionals like medical doctors or nurses. But that’s another reason to go to Pink Opal Aesthetics – where the only people who will treat you with our services are educated and experienced medical professionals. You won’t get that at every MedSpa. Botox and Dysport are both relatively quick to inject and typically involve minimal discomfort. Results generally last three to six months, after which maintenance treatments are sometimes necessary to maintain the effects.

Botox, Dysport, and Jeaveau are primarily used for cosmetic purposes to minimize the appearance of frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. However, they are also used for medical purposes, such as to treat certain muscle disorders, chronic migraines, and excessive sweating.

Botox

Botox is the #1 Medspa service requested today.  It is chosen to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Botox injections work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Botox can be particularly effective for reducing the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes.

Another reason people might choose to get Botox is to improve the symmetry or balance of their facial features. Some people may have uneven eyebrows or a lopsided smile, and Botox can help correct these issues by relaxing the muscles that are pulling the face unevenly.

In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Botox can also be used to treat certain medical conditions, such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.  If you suffer from any of these illnesses and would like to find out how Botox can help you schedule a free consultation with our Aesthetic Provider.  

When you consult with one of Pink Opal’s qualified healthcare professionals we will help assess your individual needs and determine whether Botox is the right option for you.

Dysport

You won’t have to decide between Botox and Dysport on your own. And while the decision between Dysport and Botox ultimately depends on personal preference, as well as your specific goals and needs, a Pink Opal professional will be with you every step along the way to guide you. Here are a few factors to consider:

Results

While Botox and Dysport both work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, they are not interchangeable. Some people may find that Dysport is more effective for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, or that it lasts longer than Botox. Others may prefer the results they achieve with Botox.

Speed

Some people prefer Dysport because it tends to spread more quickly and may work faster than Botox, resulting in more immediate and noticeable results.

Area of treatment

The area being treated may also play a role in the choice between Dysport and Botox. For example, Dysport may be preferred for treating larger areas, such as the forehead, while Botox may be more effective for smaller areas, such as around the eyes.

Personal preference

Ultimately, the choice between Dysport and Botox may come down to personal preference. Some people may find that they prefer the way Dysport feels (when injected), or simply prefer the look they achieve with one product over the other.

Jeuveau®

Jeuveau® is quickly becoming a popular choice in the world of aesthetics. Known for its ability to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, Jeuveau® temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause these signs of aging. This results in a smoother, refreshed look. It is particularly effective for minimizing frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes, giving the face a more youthful and rested appearance.

Jeuveau® is also an option for those looking to improve facial symmetry. For example, it can help balance uneven eyebrows or correct a crooked smile by targeting the muscles that pull the face unevenly. Many clients choose Jeuveau® for its precise and reliable results in enhancing facial harmony.

Beyond cosmetic benefits, Jeuveau® is also known for its ability to treat certain medical conditions, such as muscle stiffness or spasms. If you’re interested in how Jeuveau® can help you achieve your aesthetic goals or improve your well-being, schedule a consultation at Pink Opal Aesthetics today.

Our qualified professionals at Pink Opal Aesthetics can assess your needs and advise you on whether Jeuveau® is the proper treatment for you.
