MOUNT KISCO / NEW YORK
Injectables Planned Around Your Facial Anatomy
Two people can request the same treatment and need entirely different plans. Muscle strength and facial shape vary from person to person. Personal goals differ as well. A dose that looks natural on one patient can look heavy on another.
This is why injectables are a medical treatment first and a cosmetic one second. The product matters, but placement and dosing decide the result. We plan the procedure based on the movement of your face rather than a fixed menu of units. Our injectables menu covers wrinkle softening and jaw contouring. It also includes medical uses such as excessive sweating.
What Are Injectables?
Injectables are medical treatments injected through a needle into the skin or muscle to enhance appearance or treat certain conditions. The products listed on this page are injectables called neuromodulators, which contain Botulinum Toxin Type A, including Botox and Dysport. Daxxify is in the same category.
Neuromodulators affect specific muscles to temporarily reduce muscle tone, making lines caused by movement softer. Neuromodulator injections are available as a non-surgical facial treatment at Skin Theory Aesthetics in Mount Kisco, NY 10549. Patients come from throughout Westchester County and the surrounding New York areas to our clinic.
Function of Neuromodulators
Most expression lines are a result of repeated muscle action. The skin folds in the same place with each frown or squint. The wrinkles that form with movement are known as dynamic wrinkles.
Repeated movement
The skin folds in the same place with each frown or squint, causing dynamic wrinkles to appear with expression.
Targeted relaxation
These treatments inhibit the signal to a specific muscle that causes contraction. The muscle relaxes, and the skin above it flattens out.
Temporary effect
The effect is only temporary, and over several months, muscle activity will slowly return.
At rest, lines that are still visible are considered static wrinkles. Deep static lines may require a combination of treatments, but neuromodulators can soften them over time. This is explained during your assessment.

02 / TREATMENT AREASMasseter Botox
- Treats: A wide or square lower face caused by an enlarged jaw muscle.
- How it works: Relaxes the masseter muscle, which may gradually reduce in bulk.
- Results: Slimming usually becomes visible between four and eight weeks.
- Important note: An off-label use that does not change bone structure.
Brow Lift
- Treats: A low or drooping outer brow that makes the eyes look tired.
- How it works: Relaxes selected muscles that pull the brow downward, which may create a subtle lifting effect.
- Typical duration: About three to four months for most patients.
- Important note: An off-label use that cannot remove excess eyelid skin.
Lip Flip
- Treats: A thin upper lip or a lip that disappears when you smile.
- How it works: Relaxes the muscle around the mouth, so the upper lip rolls slightly outward.

How to Select a Suitable Neuromodulator?
One of the most common questions we get is, “Botox vs. Dysport vs. Daxxify?” All three are FDA-approved neuromodulators for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults. The major differences are in the formula and duration of effectiveness.
| Feature | Botox | Dysport | Daxxify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active ingredient | onabotulinumtoxinA | abobotulinumtoxinA | daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm |
| Stabilizer | Human serum albumin | Human serum albumin | Peptide |
| Typical duration for frown lines | About 3 to 4 months | About 3 to 4 months | Median of about 6 months in trials |

What Influences Your Timeline?
There are several factors that influence your timeline. The stronger the muscles, the faster the product may wear off. Treatment area and dose make a difference too, so forehead treatments may last longer than lip treatments.
Planning Your Next Visit
We document the effect of each treatment for you. This record helps determine when to schedule your next visit and how much product may be appropriate.
Is This Your First Time Getting Injectables?
Starting Conservatively
First-time injectable patients are often concerned about appearing frozen or overdone. This is typically the result of poor evaluation or inappropriate dosing. We usually start with conservative treatment to observe how your muscles respond.
Reviewing Your Results
We suggest beginning with one area instead of multiple areas. An expert will check the results after approximately two weeks. Future treatments can then be modified confidently.

Safety and Possible Side Effects

Most injectable side effects are mild and short-lived. Small bumps and redness at injection sites typically disappear within hours. Some bruising may also occur.
Area-Specific Side Effects
Rarer side effects vary according to the area treated. These may include headache or temporary drooping of the eyelid or brow. These risks are reduced through accurate placement and measured dosing.
Important Safety Warnings
Botulinum toxin products also carry warnings about rare effects that can occur beyond the injection area, including swallowing or breathing difficulties. Patients should seek medical attention if serious symptoms develop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn what to expect from a personalized injectables treatment plan.
What is the difference between neuromodulators and dermal fillers?
Neuromodulators relax muscles to soften lines caused by movement. Dermal fillers add volume beneath the skin to restore fullness or contour. The two work differently and are often used together for a balanced result.
Which injectable is right for me?
The right injectable depends on your concern and your muscle activity. Your goals for treatment frequency also matter. Your provider recommends a product after examining your face and reviewing any past treatments.
Do injectables hurt?
Most patients describe a brief pinch at each injection point. The needles are very fine, and most treatments take only a few minutes. Discomfort usually ends as soon as the injection is complete.
Are injectable treatments for wrinkles safe?
Neuromodulators have been used in aesthetic medicine for many years and have an established safety profile. Side effects are usually mild and temporary. Safety depends heavily on an accurate assessment and skilled placement.
Are all injectable treatments FDA-approved?
Some uses are FDA-approved, such as treating frown lines with any of our three wrinkle relaxer brands. Other uses, including the lip flip and masseter treatment, are off-label. Your provider explains the status of each treatment before you proceed.
Will people be able to tell I had injectables?
With conservative dosing, most people notice only that you look rested. Your face keeps its natural movement, but lines appear softer. An overdone appearance can occur with excessive dosing, so our approach favors conservative dosing.
Can I switch between neuromodulator brands?
Yes, patients can switch between neuromodulators. Units do not convert one to one between brands, so your provider sets a new dose. Sharing how your past results looked and lasted helps guide the plan.
