Neuromodulators are anti-aging injectables that can do what your most effective topical products and professional skin care treatments cannot. These injectables work at the muscular level to smooth minor, moderate, and severe expression lines on the upper half of the face to restore a youthful appearance. At The Repaire Room, we offer BOTOX® and Xeomin®, two of the most effective products available to eliminate expression lies and rejuvenate the overall appearance. We also offer Daxxify®.
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are cosmetic injectables containing neurotoxins, which block communication between the brain and nerve signals so that the nerve signals can no longer tell the muscles to contract when expressing. As a result, the muscles relax, and so does the skin.
When the skin is no longer forced into daily repetitive expressions, lines and wrinkles fade, and your youthful glow returns. Several different types of neuromodulators are available for cosmetic use, and we offer two of the most effective: BOTOX® and Xeomin®.
Botox®
BOTOX® is probably the most popular professional cosmetic treatment. It’s more than just a household name and has become a go-to for both men and women who want to restore their youth through safe and quick treatment.
BOTOX® can treat cosmetic and medical concerns. It eliminates expression lines on the upper half of the face, including crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Some injectors use it for off-label purposes to address other aesthetic imperfections. We can also use it for medical concerns to improve quality of life, reduce pain, and even improve overall appearance.
We can inject BOTOX® into the trap muscles to relax the area and reduce muscle mass and size to create a more sleek upper body profile. We can also use it for TMJ to eliminate the pain and discomfort associated with tense jaw muscles. It’s also an effective solution for patients with hyperhidrosis as it can block sweat glands and reduce profuse sweating temporarily.
If you want to use BOTOX® for cosmetics or medical purposes, you must not be allergic to the ingredients in the product and have realistic expectations about the treatment and the outcome. Adults in good health and willing to commit to regular follow-up treatments to maintain long-term results make good candidates for this injectable.

Daxxify®
Daxxify® is a cutting-edge injectable treatment that operates in a manner akin to BOTOX®, utilizing neurotoxins as its primary ingredient to target and relax muscles responsible for specific expression lines. This innovative solution is designed to assist individuals in attaining a rejuvenated and well-rested appearance, promoting smoother-looking skin through its muscle-relaxing effects. Additionally, Daxxify® stands out by incorporating advanced technology, as it is encapsulated with peptides known to bestow the skin with a beautiful, radiant glow. This unique combination not only addresses the signs of aging but also enhances the skin’s overall radiance, offering a comprehensive approach to facial aesthetics.
Xeomin®
Xeomin (AKA SmartTox) – XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is the first and only neurotoxin for the simultaneous treatment of upper facial lines – forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. XEOMIN® is unique because it goes through a double filtration process that removes unnecessary proteins. These unnecessary proteins that are removed from XEOMIN® are found in the majority of the other neurotoxins on the market and have been linked to causing an immune response, which can lead to a decreased effect and failure of treatment over time.
Xeomin is used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows in adults. Additionally, Xeomin can be used to treat various medical conditions, such as cervical dystonia (abnormal head position and neck pain) and blepharospasm (abnormal spasm of the eyelids). It works by blocking the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions, providing a smoother and more relaxed appearance.
As your skin gets weaker as you age, those lines only worsen as you continue to express daily. Injections into the muscles around the eyebrows and the forehead area can relax the muscles to soften expressions and, in doing so, smooth and even temporarily eliminate your frown lines.
You may be a good candidate for Xeomin if you are an adult looking to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between your eyebrows. Ideal candidates are typically in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the results, and are not allergic to any ingredients in Xeomin. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional like Rebecca Repaire to discuss your medical history, current medications, and specific concerns to determine if Xeomin is right for you.
You can typically expect to see results from Xeomin within 3 to 4 days after treatment. The full effects are usually visible within 7 to 14 days. However, individual results may vary, and factors such as the area treated, the severity of the wrinkles, and your body’s response to the treatment can influence the timeline. For the best outcome, follow your healthcare provider’s post-treatment instructions and attend any recommended follow-up appointments.
The results from Xeomin treatment generally last between 3 to 4 months. However, this duration can vary from person to person based on factors such as the treated area, the severity of the wrinkles, and individual response to the treatment. To maintain the desired results, follow-up treatments are recommended as the effects begin to wear off. The Repaire Room can help you determine the best treatment schedule for your needs.
Yes, Xeomin injectables are considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional. Xeomin has been extensively studied and approved by regulatory authorities for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. As with any medical treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, such as mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. It’s important to discuss your medical history, any allergies, and any concerns you may have with your healthcare provider to ensure that Xeomin is a safe option for you.
