Harness the Power of Neuromodulators

At Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery, we understand how certain cosmetic or medical conditions can significantly impact your quality of life. Thankfully, neuromodulators like BOTOX® and Dysport offer transformative solutions to these concerns, providing aesthetic enhancements and therapeutic relief. Our expert team, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Durkin, is dedicated to helping you achieve optimal results through advanced, minimally invasive treatments tailored to your unique needs.

What Is a Neuromodulator?

A neuromodulator is a type of substance or compound that affects the function of neurons (nerve cells) in the nervous system. These substances either enhance or inhibit the release of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that allow neurons to communicate with each other and with other cells in the body. Neuromodulators regulate various physiological processes, including muscle movement, sensory perception, mood, cognition, etc. In medical and cosmetic contexts, neuromodulators like botulinum toxin (BOTOX) are injectable treatments often used to relax or paralyze muscles temporarily. By blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, these treatments can smooth out wrinkles, alleviate muscle tension, and relieve various conditions. Commonly known neuromodulators include BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, each offering unique benefits depending on your needs.

Conditions Treated by Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are versatile treatments that can address various cosmetic and medical conditions. Below are some of the conditions we effectively treat with neuromodulators at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery:

Crow's Feet

Crow's feet are fine lines and wrinkles that appear at the outer corners of the eyes. They are caused by repetitive facial movements and loss of skin elasticity. Neuromodulators like BOTOX and Dysport relax the muscles around the eyes, smoothing out these lines for a more youthful appearance.

Migraines

Chronic migraines can be debilitating, impacting your daily life. BOTOX has been FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic migraines. It works by blocking the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission, reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.

TMJ Disorders

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement. Neuromodulators can help relieve this pain by relaxing the muscles around the jaw, decreasing muscle tension, and alleviating symptoms.

Neck Lines

Necklines, or "tech neck," result from repetitive neck movements and aging. Neuromodulators can smooth out these horizontal lines by relaxing the platysma muscle, leading to a more youthful and smooth neck appearance.

Chin Dimples

Chin dimples, or "orange peel chin," occur due to overactive chin muscles. Neuromodulators like BOTOX can relax these muscles, reducing the appearance of dimples and creating a smoother chin contour.

TrapTox (Trapezius Muscle Reduction)

Overactive trapezius muscles can cause neck and shoulder tension and a bulky appearance. Neuromodulators can relax these muscles, reducing tension and creating a more streamlined neck and shoulder area.

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Neuromodulators like BOTOX block the nerve signals stimulating sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production in underarms, hands, and feet.

Bunny Lines

Bunny lines are the small wrinkles that appear on the bridge of the nose when you smile or squint. Neuromodulators can smooth these lines by relaxing the underlying muscles, enhancing your overall facial appearance.

Lip Flip

A lip flip enhances the appearance of the upper lip by relaxing the muscles around the mouth. This approach creates a fuller, more defined lip without the need for fillers. Neuromodulators like BOTOX are commonly used for this procedure.

BOTOX for Bell's Palsy

Bell's palsy causes temporary facial paralysis, leading to muscle stiffness and asymmetry. BOTOX can help improve facial symmetry by relaxing the overactive muscles on the unaffected side and reducing muscle stiffness on the affected side.
