Today, men and women have highly effective treatments available to them to help improve early aging symptoms with little risk and no downtime or recovery. Treatments utilizing neuromodulators should be among the first considered when mild to moderate aging symptoms begin to appear on the face. Neuromodulators, compounds which relax the muscles responsible for “dynamic wrinkles” which are features formed by repeated muscle contractions and facial expressions. These types of wrinkles naturally appear over time, and if left untreated, can continue to deepen, eventually requiring more invasive procedures.
These symptoms commonly include fine lines around the eyes, in the forehead and around the mouth. However, these features can all be smoothed and minimized, safely and with long-lasting results. Once treated, further progression of these symptoms can be prevented, and with periodic follow-ups, individuals in many cases can avoid much costlier and riskier rejuvenation treatments almost indefinitely. Clients can now have a treatment at Spa Sydell and quickly return to their active schedules.
What’s more, individuals can combine these injectables or additional facial treatments such as dermal fillers, fractional laser or cryolipolysis treatments to maximize their benefits. Even when used alone, however, neuromodulators provide immediate, natural and long-lasting results with maximum convenience and safety.
What do Neuromodulator treatments treat?
Neurotoxins improve the lines, creases and folds commonly known as “dynamic wrinkles.” These aging symptoms form when facial muscles contract, typically when making repeated facial expressions. These lines form between the eyebrows when an individual squints or frowns or around the mouth when a person smiles or laughs. Dynamic wrinkles also appear horizontally across the forehead as deep creases or fan out from the outer corners of the eye.
A comprehensive facial rejuvenation solution will commonly include Neurotoxins along with dermal fillers to address other aging symptoms which might also be present. These treatments together can help many patients improve a wide variety of symptoms while delaying procedures like a brow lift, mini facelift or full facelift. While patients will need follow-up neurotoxin treatments to maintain their results, overall, these injectables provide substantial rejuvenation, convenience and value.
How do neurotoxins® work?
Neurotoxins use small amounts of botulinum toxin, a neuromodulator, which serves as a muscle relaxant and temporarily arrests the muscles which cause dynamic wrinkles. This neuromodulator remains active for many months. While neurotoxins have many other medical uses, as a cosmetic treatment, These neurotoxins are highly effective in reducing and preventing wrinkles in the upper portion of the face, such as the lines between the eyebrows and in the forehead.
You will receive your treatment through injections into the concern areas during your office visit. The treatment often takes less than 30 minutes, and you can immediately resume your active schedule without downtime or recovery.
What areas can neurotoxins treat?
Neurotoxins are best suited for the treatment of the upper face and aging signs in the following areas:
- Forehead lines and wrinkles
- Parallel lines formed between the eyebrows, known as 11 lines
- Horizontal lines formed across the bridge of the nose, known as bunny lines
- Crow’s feet formed at the outer corners of the eyes
- A drooping brow line
What results can I expect from neurotoxins?
While some recipients may see immediate results, most will see results in the following days post-procedure. Full results usually can be appreciated within two weeks of treatment. A refreshed and rejuvenated appearance will continue to develop over the next three to four more months and can last up to six months. Periodic follow-ups will be necessary to maintain your results. If you continue with your treatments, you can enjoy long-lasting rejuvenation without having more invasive procedures.

Potential Downsides and Side Effects of Injectables
While injectables are highly effective in cosmetic treatments, they are not without potential downsides. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, and redness at and near the treatment sites, which typically resolve within a few days. Less common but more serious side effects can include muscle weakness, facial asymmetry, or ptosis (drooping eyelid), particularly if the toxin spreads beyond the intended area of treatment. Clients are advised to discuss their health history thoroughly to mitigate such risks.
Myths and Misconceptions about Injectables
Misunderstandings about injectables are widespread. For instance, some believe that treatments like Botox will result in an unnatural, frozen face. However, when administered correctly by a skilled professional, these treatments are designed to enhance facial expressions, not restrict them. Another common myth is that injectables are only for the elderly. In reality, adults of various ages use these treatments for both preventive and corrective purposes.
Contraindications of Injectables
Injectables are not suitable for everyone. Key contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, and certain neurological or muscle disorders. It is essential for all potential clients to undergo a thorough medical assessment to ensure the safety and efficacy of the treatment for their specific conditions.
Medical Conditions Treatable with Injectables
Beyond their cosmetic applications, injectables are also used to treat a variety of medical conditions. Botox, for example, is approved for the treatment of chronic migraines, where it helps to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. It is also used for treating excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) by temporarily blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. Furthermore, certain muscle spasmodic disorders can be managed with these injections, providing relief from muscle stiffness and involuntary contractions.
Additional Considerations and Safety Measures
To ensure the best outcomes, Spa Sydell follows stringent safety protocols. All injectable treatments are performed by certified professionals who are well-versed in the anatomy of the face and the pharmacology of the products used. Clients are informed about the nature of the procedures, expected results, and any potential risks before proceeding.
