Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like your face looks more tired, aged, or stressed than you actually feel? Fine lines on the forehead, creases between the brows, and crow’s feet can show up early, and once they deepen, they can be hard to soften with skincare alone. Botox® and other neuromodulators offer a simple, non-surgical cosmetic dermatology way to smooth expression lines and refresh your appearance without changing what makes you, you.
At Manhattan Dermatology, you’re treated by a team of leading board-certified dermatologists, including NYU dermatology professors, who understand facial anatomy and specialize in natural-looking results. With two convenient New York City locations, you can feel confident your care is precise, personalized, and expertly delivered.
What Are Botox and Neuromodulators?
Botox is the most well-known neuromodulator, but it’s just one of several injectable wrinkle relaxers used in cosmetic dermatology. Neuromodulators work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause expression lines. When the muscle movement softens, the skin above it smooths out and lines become less noticeable.
Common neuromodulators include:
- Botox®
- Dysport®
- Xeomin®
- Jeuveau®
All of these products are FDA-approved and made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. They are safe when administered correctly by trained medical professionals.
What Can Neuromodulators Treat?
Neuromodulators are best for dynamic wrinkles, lines that form from repeated facial expressions like smiling, squinting, or frowning.
They are commonly used to treat:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (11s) between the brows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Lip lines and a gummy smile (in select cases)
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands (often called “tech neck” or platysmal bands)
Benefits of Botox and Other Neuromodulators
Botox and neuromodulators remain some of the most popular cosmetic treatments for a reason — they deliver noticeable results with little to no downtime.
Benefits may include:
- Smoother, younger-looking skin
- A refreshed appearance without surgery
- Softening of lines and wrinkles
- Prevention of deeper wrinkles over time
- Quick treatment (often under 20 minutes)
- Minimal downtime and fast return to normal activities
- Boost in confidence with natural-looking enhancement
When performed by skilled dermatologists, the goal is never to look “frozen.” The goal is to look well-rested, lifted, and refreshed.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Botox and other neuromodulators are great for adults who want to reduce visible expression lines or prevent them from becoming more pronounced.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Want to soften lines while keeping your natural expressions
- Notice forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines
- Want a subtle refresh (not a dramatic change)
- Are looking for a preventative anti-aging approach
- Are healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding
Your dermatologist at Manhattan Dermatology will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, and goals to create a plan that fits your features.
