Why Use Neuromodulator Injections?
Many patients complain that they dislike the way the light catches wrinkles in photos, the way make-up sits in the lines, or that they look older than they feel. Neuromodulators are versatile and can be used to help not only lines and wrinkles but also other concerns. Both can also be used for excessive sweating, jaw muscle/facial slimming, overactive muscles/dimpling (chin), nose lines, necklines, and more!
Which Neuromodulator Injections Are The Best?
There are many brands of neuromodulators on the market and Lucy NP prefers Botox and Dysport. Neuromodulators are among the most popular aesthetic treatments offered.

FAQ How much Botox/Dysport will I need?
Each patient will require a unique and personalized quantity to meet their aesthetic goals. The amount will vary depending on how much movement/wrinkles each patient has. Each company provides us with a guide to use for each treatment area, but often it will be adjusted per patient. A common amount of Botox to treat the upper face is about 50 units.
Why is Dysport cheaper than Botox?
Dysport isn’t cheaper than Botox, but the units pricing is different. You will need more Dysport units than Botox, so it ends up being very close in pricing.
How often do I need Botox/Dysport?
Every patient will be different in their needs for follow-up treatments. Most patients will require treatment every 3 months to maintain results.
