The quantity of product needed can vary from person to person, influenced by your unique facial structure, muscle strength, and style preferences. You can explore these aspects in detail with your provider during your consultation.

Neuromodulators, such as Botox and Dysport, generally last 3 to 4 months, whereas dermal fillers can last anywhere from 4 to 18 months. The longevity varies based on the individual and the injection area.

Neuromodulator and filler treatments are popular cosmetic procedures used to address signs of aging and enhance facial aesthetics. Neuromodulators, like Botox, work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, helping to smooth out lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows. This treatment can create a more youthful and relaxed appearance. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are injected to restore lost volume, define facial contours, and smooth out deeper wrinkles. For men, these treatments can offer a range of benefits, including a more defined jawline, reduced signs of aging, and a refreshed look without changing their natural masculine features. They are minimally invasive with little downtime, making them a convenient option for those looking to enhance their appearance subtly and effectively.
