Do you notice frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead wrinkles that make you look tired or stressed, even when you’re not? These expression lines are a natural part of aging, caused by years of repeated muscle movement. Fortunately, neuromodulator injections like Botox® and Dysport® can soften these lines and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
At SKINphoria Aesthetics in Monterey, CA, Dr. John Hsih and his team specialize in neuromodulator treatments that deliver natural-looking results. With a careful, artistic approach, we help you look refreshed, never “frozen.”

What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Popular options include:
- Botox® – the most well-known treatment for smoothing expression lines.
- Dysport® – a similar option with a slightly softer diffusion, often used for larger treatment areas.
- Xeomin® – a purified formula ideal for patients seeking a “clean” version of Botox.
By blocking the signals between nerves and muscles, neuromodulators reduce repetitive movement, giving the skin time to smooth out and preventing lines from becoming deeper.
Benefits of Neuromodulator Treatments
Patients love neuromodulators because they provide noticeable yet natural results. Benefits include:
- Smoother skin: Softens frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.
- Preventative aging: Helps stop new lines from forming.
- Quick results: Visible improvements in three to seven days.
- No downtime: Resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
- Boosted confidence: Look refreshed, approachable, and youthful.
Results typically last three to four months, and with regular treatments, many patients enjoy smoother skin year-round.
Who Is a Candidate for Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulator treatments may be right for you if you:
- Have moderate to severe expression lines on the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes
- Want a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution for wrinkles
- Are seeking preventative care to slow the aging process
- Desire results that look natural and not overdone
Men and women of many ages choose Botox, Dysport, and other neuromodulators, whether to refresh their appearance or prevent early signs of aging.
