Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin Neuromodulators
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that work by blocking signals from the nerves to specific muscles. Primarily used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle movements (such as frowning or squinting) and create forehead lines, Crow’s feet, and frown line wrinkles. By temporarily relaxing the targeted muscles, these treatments smooth the skin’s surface and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Aside from cosmetic enhancements, neuromodulators are also effective in treating:
Bruxism
By relaxing the muscles involved in jaw clenching, neuromodulators can help alleviate pressure on the jaw, leading to less discomfort and reduced wear on the teeth.
TMJ Disorders
By easing muscle tension in the jaw, individuals suffering from TMJ can experience relief from pain and improve function.
Tension Headaches
Neuromodulators may help decrease the frequency and severity of tension headaches by relaxing the muscles that contribute to headache pain.
Benefits of Neuromodulators
Types of Neuromodulators utilized at Elevate Wellness and Medspa:
BOTOX
Botox, the most recognized FDA approved neuromodulator, has been used for many years in aesthetic medicine. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to muscles, reducing their activity.
Dysport
Dysport is another popular FDA approved neuromodulator with the same active ingredient as the Botox brand, but with a formulation designed for quicker onset compared to Botox.
Onset of action: typically 2-3 days and most clients will see the benefits for approximately 4 months.
Xeomin
Xeomin is an FDA approved neuromodulator that is often referred to as the “pure” form because it lacks additives found in other formulas. This purity may make it less likely for patients to develop resistance over time. Suitable for those who have previously developed resistance to other neuromodulators.
Onset of action: 5-7 days comparable to Botox and Dysport.
Differences and Selection
While all three neuromodulators serve similar functions, individual preferences, treatment goals, and the specific areas being treated may influence the choice of product. Consult with our experienced professionals at Elevate Wellness and Medspa to determine the best option for your unique needs.
Elevate Wellness and Medspa: Understanding HA Dermafillers
The Facial Aging Process
As we age, our faces undergo natural changes due to a combination of factors, including volume loss, bone density reduction, and decreased skin elasticity. Specifically, the fat pads in the face diminish over time, leading to a loss of fullness in key areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. This loss of volume can result in hollowness, sagging skin, and more pronounced wrinkles, making the face appear older and less vibrant. Additionally, as the underlying bone structure gradually loses density, it can further contribute to a sunken or sagging appearance, accentuating the signs of aging.
What are HA Dermafillers?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Dermafillers are injectable gels made primarily from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. These fillers are specifically designed to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Indications for Use in Aesthetics
HA Dermafillers are widely used for various aesthetic purposes, including:
- Plumping and reshaping lips
- Filling in smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Enhancing cheekbones
- Reducing the appearance of under-eye hollows
- Contouring the jawline
- Smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines
Benefits of HA Dermafillers
The Importance of Choosing an Experienced Injector
Selecting an experienced injector is paramount in achieving safe and aesthetically pleasing results with HA Dermafillers. An expert injector possesses the skill to assess your facial structure, understand the nuances of volume loss and aging, and diagnose your specific needs. They can then create a customized treatment plan that addresses your individual goals effectively.
When looking for a qualified injector, consider their training, experience, and patient reviews. An injector who understands facial anatomy and has the artistic vision to enhance your features will significantly influence the outcome of your treatment. At Elevate Wellness and Medspa, our injector Stacey Whalley FNP-BC is dedicated to providing you with compassionate care and personalized treatment plans to help you look your best.

Elevate Wellness and Medspa: Health and Wellness Shots
At Elevate Wellness and Medspa, we are committed to enhancing your health and overall well-being through a variety of innovative treatments. Among these offerings are intramuscular injections and subcutaneous injections that effectively address your occasional wellness needs.
What is an Intramuscular Injection?
An intramuscular injection is a method of administering medication directly into the muscle tissue. This delivery route allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream compared to oral administration, making it an ideal choice for delivering vitamins, minerals, and medications that support various health needs. These injections are performed by licensed medical professionals, ensuring both safety and efficacy.
Wellness Shots We Offer
Here are some of the key shots available at Elevate Wellness and Medspa:
What is a subcutaneous injection?
A subcutaneous injection is a method of delivering medication or substances into the layer of fat and tissue just beneath the skin but above the muscle. This route of administration allows for slower absorption compared to intramuscular injections, making it suitable for certain medications that require a gradual release into the bloodstream.
GLP-1 Medications
Indication: GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications are primarily used for weight management and improving glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. They help promote satiety and reduce appetite, enhancing overall health outcomes.
Ingredients: These medications include active compounds such as liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza) and semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), which mimic the natural hormone GLP-1, promoting weight loss and better blood sugar regulation.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
Indication: NAD+ injections are utilized for anti-aging benefits, enhanced energy, improved cognitive function, and overall cellular health. This treatment is useful for its role in promoting metabolic health and combating fatigue and can be given as a subcutaneous injection or through an IV.
Ingredients: The active ingredient is NAD+, a coenzyme that plays a crucial role in energy production and DNA repair within cells, helping to rejuvenate your body at the cellular level.
At Elevate Wellness and Medspa, our health and wellness shots are tailored to meet your specific health needs, whether you’re seeking pain relief, immune support, weight management, or rejuvenation. Our experienced professionals are here to guide you in selecting the right injection for your wellness journey. Experience a revitalized you; schedule your appointment today!
