Achieve smoother, younger-looking skin with neurotoxin injections, a non-surgical solution to reduce wrinkles for patients in Boca Raton, Palm Beach, and Palm Beach County.
Neurotoxin injections, also known as injectable neuromodulators, are designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. At the Facial Surgery Institute of Boca Raton (FSIBR), we use this technique to help patients reduce the visible signs of aging while maintaining their natural expressions. With quick treatments and little to no downtime, injectable neuromodulators offer an effective solution for achieving a smoother, younger-looking appearance.

Neurotoxin treatments are derived from a purified form of botulinum toxin, which works by temporarily inhibiting nerve signals to specific muscles. When the neurotoxin is injected, it blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. This process results in muscle relaxation, making it useful for addressing various medical and cosmetic concerns related to overactive or imbalanced muscle activity. It is a minimally invasive treatment, widely used for precise control of muscle function to reduce signs of aging for enhanced facial rejuvenation.
At FSIBR, we offer a variety of neurotoxin options to address your specific aesthetic goals. Our personalized approach ensures each treatment provides optimal results based on your unique needs.
Botox is the most well-known neuromodulator injection, popular for its ability to smooth facial wrinkles like crow’s feet and forehead lines. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for reducing visible signs of facial aging.
Compared to other neurotoxins, Dysport spreads more quickly and over a wider area, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. It’s known for delivering quick, natural-looking results by relaxing facial muscles and reducing dynamic wrinkles.
Jeuveau, often called “Newtox,” stands out as a modern option for treating wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. It’s specifically formulated for facial rejuvenation and appeals to those seeking the latest advancements in neurotoxin treatments.
Xeomin is a “naked” neurotoxin, meaning it contains no additional proteins. This purity lowers the chance of your body developing resistance and may continue to deliver desired results even for long-term use.
Smooth the horizontal lines caused by facial expressions.
Reduce wrinkles around the eyes.
Relax the frown lines between the eyebrows.

Our Boca Raton patients use neuromodulator injections for a variety of cosmetic and medical concerns.
Neurotoxin injections reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial expressions (frown lines, crow’s feet and smile lines) providing a smoother, more youthful skin appearance.
Treatment helps control excessive sweating by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for overactive sweat glands, particularly in the underarms.
By relaxing the upper lip muscles, neurotoxins can lower the appearance of a gummy smile, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Neurotoxins can correct minor facial asymmetries and enhance contours, giving you a more balanced appearance.
For patients with neck spasms or discomfort, neurotoxins can help relax the muscles, providing relief and improving the range of motion.
During your consultation, we will take a detailed medical history, assess your facial anatomy, and discuss your aesthetic goals to develop a customized treatment plan.
Before your session, we recommend avoiding certain medications or supplements that may increase bruising or negatively affect desired results.
During your treatment, we map out the injection sites. Once this is done, we administer a series of neurotoxin injections to the targeted areas, a process that typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Results are noticeable within a few days and continue to improve over the next week, with effects lasting several months, depending on the type of neurotoxin.
While neurotoxin injections are safe for most patients, mild side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. More serious risks, such as allergic reactions or drooping eyelids, are rare but possible. Choosing our double board-certified surgeon, Dr. Hancock and board-certified surgeon, Dr. Klimczak significantly minimize these risks.
Ideal candidates are healthy adults seeking to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles or address concerns like excessive sweating or facial asymmetry. Those who are pregnant, have certain neurological conditions or have known allergies to botulinum toxin may not be suitable for treatment. Contact our office for a consultation to determine which injectable treatment may be best suited to deliver your desired results.
Serving patients throughout Palm Beach and Palm Beach County, FSIBR stands out as the only practice in the area with two board-certified female facial plastic surgeons. This is a unique benefit when considering plastic surgery because it offers a diverse, personalized approach to patient care that prioritizes understanding the nuances of facial anatomy and aesthetics from a female perspective. Our patients benefit from the highest level of expertise, compassionate care, exceptional results, and more:
Results typically become noticeable within 3 to 7 days after treatment. The full effects usually develop within two weeks, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance.
There is minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment, although some may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection site.
While both Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins used to reduce wrinkles, Dysport has a faster diffusion rate, making it better suited for larger areas like the forehead. Dysport may also deliver quicker results, while Botox is known for its precision in targeted areas.
The discomfort is usually minimal, often described as a slight pinch or sting. Many providers use a fine needle and may apply a topical anesthetic to enhance comfort during the procedure.
To maintain your treatment results, consider scheduling follow-up appointments every 3 to 6 months, depending on your specific neurotoxin. Additionally, adopting a skincare routine that includes sun protection and moisturizing can help prolong your results.
Choosing the right neurotoxin treatment depends on your unique facial anatomy, desired results, and any specific areas of concern. A consultation with Dr. Hancock or Dr. Klimczak will help determine the best option for you, taking into account your medical history and aesthetic goals.
