Neuromodulators, commonly known by brand names such as Botox Cosmetic® and Dysport®, are injectable, purified forms of Botulinum toxin type A. This protein blocks certain nerve signals to the muscle in which it was injected, causing the muscle to relax. Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neuromodulators that have been safely used for decades in both medical and cosmetic settings. When administered by an experienced clinician with detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, they are well tolerated and yield highly predictable results.
Neuromodulators are as much about medical expertise as they are about aesthetics. At Capital Skin and Laser, injectable treatments are designed with precision, artistry, and anatomic expertise. Our team is led by Dr. Leah Spring, a fellowship-trained Cosmetic Dermatologist and Mohs Micrographic and Reconstructive Surgeon, who combines her extensive knowledge of facial anatomy with a conservative approach and refined aesthetic judgment. Dr. Spring educates other physicians on best practices, has lectured nationally on neuromodulator techniques, and has authored a textbook chapter on advanced neuromodulator treatment.
Treatment begins with a consultation and thorough analysis of your unique anatomy to understand your facial structure and muscle movement. Our experts will recommend the best approach to achieve your desired goals. Neumodulator injections are performed using an ultrafine needle, are well-tolerated with minimal discomfort, and typically take 10-15 minutes.
You can return to your usual activities immediately after treatment. Depending on which neuromodulator is used, results begin to appear within several days to 1-2 weeks, providing gradual improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The duration of your neuromodulator effect depends on your muscle strength, dose, and metabolism, but typically lasts 3-4 months.
“Dr. Spring was just fabulous to deal with. She listened intently and had a great personality to boot. I’m almost 82 years old, and my initial visit with her was one of the best experiences I have EVER had with any physician. I feel privileged to have her as my doctor, and I highly recommend her!!!”
“Dr. Spring was amazing. She explained everything thoroughly and respected my concerns.”
“Dr. Spring and her staff were upbeat, attentive, and caring. They saw my anxiety prior to my procedure and took an extra moment to talk through it with me, which made me feel like they care about me as a whole person. I’ve never felt anxious prior to treatment before so this extra step really hit home.”
“Kudos to Dr. Spring. She has the Eye of an Eagle, the Heart of a Lion, yet the Hand of a Woman! Best surgeon ever!”
