Neuromodulators

At Refine, our approach to neuromodulator treatments is personalized. We carefully assess your facial muscles and contours to determine the optimal treatment plan. Dr. Denton, our Medical Director and Facial Cosmetic Surgeon, brings over 20 years of experience in Botox injections, ensuring precise and natural-looking results.

There's little difference between both solutions, as the most important ingredient is botulinum toxin type A. Both BOTOX© and Dysport© work by blocking signals from nerves to targeted facial muscles, causing them to relax and smooth out wrinkles caused by expressions. However, some patients may respond better to one over the other. The best step is to have a conversation with our expert injectors to see what will be the best treatment for you!

You may experience some minor redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness at the injection sites. This is usually very mild and resolves within a few hours. Avoid strenuous activity and rubbing or massaging the injection sites for the first 24 hours, as this can potentially spread the product and affect the results.

Most patients find the treatment to have minimal or no discomfort at all. The treatment itself is quick and we can offer options to alleviate discomfort if patients feel nervous.

You'll notice results from neuromodulators in 1-2 weeks post injection. Neuromodulators soften lines such as the forehead, frown lines and crows feet - providing a more relaxed and youthful appearance while preserving natural expressions. The results of neuromodulators typically last 3-4 months.

On average, neuromodulators like BOTOX® and Dysport® last 3 to 4 months, with the strongest effect in the first two months. Regular maintenance treatments yield a cumulative smoothing effect.

Neuromodulators are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with a neuromuscular disorder. Our skilled injectors will conduct a consultation to assess eligibility.
