A Word from Dr. Husain

“I have been administering injectable neuromodulators for years, and what I love most is how they can make a person look like a refreshed version of themselves. The goal is never to freeze your face. It is to soften the lines that make you look tired or stressed, so you look like you feel. The best compliment I get is when someone says, ‘You look great, did you do something?'”

What Are Injectable Neuromodulators?

Injectable neuromodulators are prescription medications that are injected into specific facial muscles to temporarily relax them. When these muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are the wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.

These treatments are FDA-approved and have been used safely for decades. They are most commonly used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, and forehead wrinkles. Dr. Husain has helped patients from Durham, Morrisville, and across the Triangle achieve natural-looking results with injectable neuromodulators.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin: What Is the Difference?

Botox is the most well-known neuromodulator. It has a long track record of safety and efficacy. Botox is often used for frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. Results typically last three to four months.

Dysport is another popular option. Some patients find that Dysport spreads a bit more than Botox, which can be beneficial for larger areas like the forehead. Dysport also tends to have a faster onset, with some patients seeing results in just a few days.

Xeomin is a newer neuromodulator that is known for its “naked” formulation, meaning it does not contain any additional proteins. This can be helpful for patients who may have developed resistance to other neuromodulators. Xeomin is also used for frown lines and crow’s feet.

Dr. Husain will help you choose the right product based on your anatomy, your goals, and your preferences.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

The treatment is quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes. Dr. Husain uses a very fine needle to inject small amounts of the neuromodulator into the targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinch.

There is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities right away, though Dr. Husain may recommend that you avoid lying down or exercising for a few hours after the treatment to prevent the product from migrating.

Results typically appear within three to seven days and last for three to four months. With regular treatments, the muscles can become weaker over time, which may extend the results.

Other Uses for Injectable Neuromodulators

Injectable neuromodulators are not just for cosmetic use. They are also FDA-approved for treating certain medical conditions, including hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), chronic migraines, and muscle spasms. Dr. Husain can discuss these options with you during your consultation.
