Neuromodulators
Conveniently located to serve Houston
Wrinkling is a common feature of skin aging. The effects of diminishing dermal collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin contribute to our skin’s natural thinning and loss of volume. Injectable neurotoxins or neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin) work to smooth fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles when injected into the treatment area.
Botox treats fine lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows (frown lines), horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, other wrinkles of the upper face, lower face, neck, and hands, as well as excessive sweating of the armpit, palms, and soles of feet (hyperhidrosis).

Are Neuromodulator Treatments Right for You?
Neuromodulator treatments are ideal for individuals looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without facial cosmetic surgery. Suitable candidates are generally healthy adults with realistic expectations about the outcomes of non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
It’s important to discuss any medical conditions or medications with Dr. Daisy Ayim during your consultation to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Understanding the Neuromodulator Treatment Process
Your treatment experience starts with a consultation at Dr. Ayim’s office. You will discuss your facial aesthetic goals and medical history to help us develop a personalized solution for your needs and concerns.
During the treatment session, Dr. Ayim will administer small injections directly into the targeted muscles. This process typically takes less than 30 minutes, allowing you to return to daily activities immediately.
After the treatment, you will be advised on aftercare practices to maximize the effects of your procedure. Patients often report seeing improvements within a few days, with full results appearing within one to two weeks.
Recovery and Expectations
Recovery from neuromodulator treatments is usually quick, like with many non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Most patients can immediately return to their daily activities. You may notice some minor swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few hours to a few days. The treated areas will show noticeable improvements within 24 to 48 hours, with full effects evident after about two weeks.
To support a smooth recovery, follow these tips:
- Avoid touching the treated areas. Keep the injection sites clean and avoid rubbing or massaging them for at least 24 hours.
- Stay upright. Try to remain upright for 4 hours after the treatment to prevent the product from spreading to unintended muscles.
- Skip strenuous activities. Refrain from high-impact exercises for 24 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
- Apply cold packs. If you experience swelling, gently apply a cold pack to the affected area for 15-minute intervals.
- Follow specific aftercare instructions. Dr. Ayim will provide personalized advice depending on your treatment plan and any personal factors affecting your recovery.
