Neuromodulators are cosmetic injectables specifically designed to treat the wrinkles that result from the aging process and a lifetime of repetitive expressions. Expression lines can be very stubborn and often don’t respond to traditional anti-aging treatments, which is why we offer different treatment options that can provide an effective solution for these lines. At SkinPerfected, we offer Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify to eliminate these lines and wrinkles.
Over the past 20 years as one of the initial and leading Botox and Dysport injectors, we have performed thousands of treatments to enhance the facial aesthetic, and have continued to advance our approach as new techniques and products come to market. We focus on safety, efficacy and beauty in each treatment to make the best impact for you and your skin. We serve patients from Naperville, Hinsdale, Woodridge, Downers Grove, La Grange, and Glen Ellyn.
Neuromodulators In Naperville, IL
Neuromodulators contain neurotoxins, which are purified proteins that, when injected into the muscles, will relax those muscles and smooth expression lines and wrinkles. There are several different reputable neuromodulators available for cosmetic use, and some even deliver medical benefits. We offer three of the most effective neuromodulators, which together let us match the right product to your goals through a quick and painless treatment process.
How They Work
Neuromodulators work on the muscular level and use a purified protein called botulinum toxin A to relax the muscles responsible for expression lines. By blocking the communication between the nerve signals and the muscles, neurotoxins relax the muscles so the skin can relax, which results in a temporary reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Contrary to popular opinion, these active ingredients do not eliminate your ability to express yourself. Instead, they relax the muscles so that your expressions appear softer and less exaggerated. As a result, you can expect a natural-looking appearance post-treatment and will still look like yourself, with fewer lines and wrinkles.
Botox
Botox is a popular anti-aging injectable known for its ability to effectively smooth expression lines in different areas of the upper half of the face, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Depending on which area you want to treat, you’ll receive a certain number of injections into the muscles responsible for those expression lines. The treatment process takes anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes from start to finish, and while you may see some initial results within the first few days, the full results appear within 14 days. Results typically last 3-4 months post-treatment. Maintenance treatments are necessary to maintain results long-term.
Not only can Botox smooth the most common lines and wrinkles on the upper half of the face, but it can also alleviate the symptoms of several medical conditions.
Treating TMJ and Hyperhidrosis
We can treat TMJ and alleviate the discomfort associated with this condition by injecting Botox into some specific areas of the jaw muscles to relieve tension. We can also use Botox to temporarily resolve hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes men and women to sweat profusely from the armpits. Injections into the sweat glands can temporarily block them from overproducing sweat and help improve the quality of life of those with this condition.
Dysport
Dysport is a neuromodulator known for treating frown lines between the eyebrows. During the injection process, we can administer Dysport around your frown lines to smooth the area. Post-treatment, you can expect natural-looking results as the injectable is designed to preserve the integrity of your appearance. Results appear within the first two to three days of the treatment process and can last as long as 3-4 months. The treatment takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete, and you won’t have to plan around significant downtime post-treatment.
Daxxify
Daxxify is a purified botulinum toxin product specifically developed for the temporary improvement of frown lines. Unlike conventional botulinum toxin products, Daxxify does not contain any human or animal byproducts, and it offers results that last 6-8 weeks longer than other neuromodulator treatments, so patients have a significantly longer-lasting solution to frown lines. With FDA approval, Daxxify not only makes frown lines smoother but also ensures safety with efficiency.
Daxxify injections are made of botulinum toxin type A, a neuromuscular blocking agent that inhibits signals in the nervous system and smooths out wrinkles. The Daxxify process utilizes peptides distinctive from traditional neurotoxin injections for enhanced stability and optimized results. Daxxify is a strong option for patients looking for an alternative to other botulinum toxin products, especially when they have not been getting the longevity they hoped for.
Who Is a Good Treatment Candidate?
The best candidates for Botox and Dysport injections are patients who are not allergic to protein in cow’s milk. Daxxify contains no human or animal byproducts, which makes it an option worth discussing if that has been a concern for you. For all three products, patients must not be nursing or pregnant, should be in generally good health at the time of treatment, and should not have had an allergic reaction to botulinum toxin injections.
Men and women who want to smooth expression lines and address medical conditions and concerns like TMJ and hyperhidrosis will make good candidates for this treatment process. Potential treatment candidates must understand that the effects of this treatment are only temporary and that regular injections are necessary to maintain long-term results over time. An initial consultation with an injector will determine your treatment eligibility. Then we can design a treatment plan and move forward to help you reach all of your goals as quickly as possible.
Which Injectable Is Right for Me?
Some patients may be better suited for one product over another. Patients who simply want to smooth frown lines between the eyebrows may be good candidates for Dysport, while patients who want to treat medical conditions or treat expression lines in multiple areas of their faces may be better suited for Botox. Patients who want a longer-lasting result for frown lines, or who have not been happy with how long their previous treatments lasted, may be better suited for Daxxify.
An initial consultation can determine which product is right for you so that we can develop a treatment plan and give you more information about what kind of results you can expect, when you can expect them, and how long they will last.

Thanks to these effective neuromodulators, you no longer have to live with lines and wrinkles. Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify provide a safe and effective solution to the aging process so that you can temporarily live wrinkle-free and, with regular maintenance treatments, enjoy the results long-term.
