What are neuromodulators and how do they work?

Neuromodulators are FDA-approved injectable treatments that temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. By reducing repeated muscle movement, they smooth existing lines, help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming, and leave your skin looking refreshed and naturally youthful. Popular brands include Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify®, all of which we offer at Akin.

 

Are neuromodulators safe?

Yes! Neuromodulators have been safely used for cosmetic treatments for more than 20 years and have an excellent safety record when administered by qualified medical professionals. At Akin, every treatment is performed by a licensed, highly trained injector who will customize your treatment to achieve safe, natural-looking results.

​

How much do wrinkle relaxers cost in Riverton, Utah?

Pricing depends on the product used, the number of units needed, and your treatment goals. During your consultation, we'll create a personalized treatment plan and provide transparent pricing before treatment begins. We also offer membership discounts and participate in Allē Rewards for Botox Cosmetic®, helping many patients save on future treatments.

​

How long do neuromodulators last?

Results vary depending on the product used, your metabolism, and the treatment area. Typically lasts about 3–4 months​ and with consistent treatments, many patients notice their results last longer over time.

​

Do neuromodulator injections hurt?

Most patients describe the injections as a quick pinch using a very fine needle. Treatments typically take 10–15 minutes, require little to no downtime, and most people return to normal activities immediately afterward.

​

What's the difference between Botox®, Dysport®, and Daxxify®?

All three treatments use botulinum toxin to temporarily relax facial muscles and smooth wrinkles. The biggest differences are how quickly they work, how they spread, and how long results typically last.

• Botox® is the most recognized option and provides highly precise, predictable results that typically last 3–4 months.

• Dysport® diffuses slightly more, making it an excellent option for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Many patients notice results within 2–3 days.

• Daxxify® is the newest FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer and is designed to provide longer-lasting results, with many patients enjoying smoother skin for 3–6 months or longer.

At Akin, we'll recommend the best option based on your facial anatomy, treatment goals, lifestyle, and desired longevity.

​

What areas can wrinkle relaxers treat?

Neuromodulators are incredibly versatile and can treat both cosmetic and therapeutic concerns, including:

• Forehead lines

• Frown lines (11s)

• Crow's feet

• Bunny lines

• Lip lines (smoker's lines)

• Gummy smile

• Chin dimpling

• Jawline slimming

• TMJ and jaw tension

• Neck bands (platysmal bands)

• Chronic migraine/headaches (when medically appropriate)

• Excessive sweating (underarms, palms, and other approved areas)

​

Can neuromodulators be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely! Many patients combine wrinkle relaxers with other treatments for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan, including:

​

• Dermal Fillers – Restore volume in the cheeks, lips, temples, jawline, and under eyes.

• PRF/PRP – Improve skin quality, stimulate collagen, and support natural rejuvenation.

​

Am I a good candidate for wrinkle relaxers?

If you have wrinkles caused by facial expressions—or want to prevent them from becoming deeper—you may be an excellent candidate. Neuromodulators are suitable for both men and women seeking natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery. During your consultation, we'll determine which product is best for your individual goals.

​

How should I prepare for my wrinkle relaxer appointment?

To minimize bruising:

• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment.

• Avoid NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or naproxen), aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E, and other blood-thinning supplements for 24–48 hours if medically appropriate and approved by your healthcare provider.

• Arrive with clean skin free of makeup.

• Be prepared to discuss your treatment goals and medical history with your injector.
