Botox^®, Dysport^®, Jeuveau^® & DAXXIFY^®

In the correct hands, injections can work wonders for your appearance. Muscle relaxants (neuromodulators) such as BOTOX^®, Dysport^®, Jeuveau^® and DAXXIFY^® injected by Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Jackie Yee and her team of injectors into carefully selected sites can reduce forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and those ever-present worry lines between your eyes. Dr. Jackie Yee, as well as her team of injectors, is one of the most sought-after plastic surgeons in the field of facial rejuvenation and is routinely asked to instruct colleagues on the proper techniques for using these products.

Dr. Jackie Yee and her injectors specialize in non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as BOTOX^® injections. Fort Lauderdale and other South Florida residents are invited to request a consultation online, or call us at (305) 670-9995 to schedule an appointment.

Who are the Best Candidates for Neuromodulators?

Virtually anyone interested in reducing wrinkles without undergoing surgery can benefit from the injection of BOTOX^® Cosmetic, Dysport^®, Jeuveau^®, or DAXXIFY^®. Injections in the proper places not only treat wrinkles, but also shape the eyebrows and result in a more youthful appearance.

Other less well-known areas that can be improved with the use of neuromodulators include:

• The jawline to turn up the corners of the mouth
• Saggy neck muscles, called platysma bands
• Around the mouth to decrease signs of wrinkles (smoker’s lines)
• Sides of the jaw to decrease the width of muscle from clenching teeth
• The chin to improve the appearance of dimpled, or cobblestone, chin

Most of the men and women who come for facial rejuvenation treatments are between 30 and 70 with good skin tone. While injectable products can help restore your youthful appearance, the effects are not permanent. Subsequent treatments are necessary to maintain the younger look. You may consider a brow lift or facelift in addition for correction and improvement that may be unattainable by injections alone.

What’s the Difference?

All of the products share the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin A. When it’s injected, the active protein weakens the targeted muscles, which relaxes the wrinkle, resulting in smoother-looking skin. Dr. Jackie Yee and her injectors use their expertise to ensure the injections are safely tailored to your needs and identify the appropriate injection sites. Although similar, the products are not the same.

What to Expect

Procedure

‍BOTOX^®, Dysport^®, Jeuveau^®, DAXXIFY^®

‍Description

When you meet Dr. Jackie Yee and her injectors, they will evaluate your facial anatomy to pinpoint specific sites where injections will provide the most benefit. A very thin needle is used, and the injections weaken only the chosen facial muscles that cause wrinkles. Results will begin appearing in a few days, but the full effect of the injections may take up to a week to see. The improvements begin to slowly fade after about 3 months, although the effects in some areas may last longer.

‍Recovery

Depending on the area, or areas injected, you may not exercise immediately after treatment. It is important not to massage or rub the injection sites, because there is a risk the injections will affect surrounding muscles. That could lead to temporary unsatisfactory results, including droopy eyelids. Complications are rare, but bruising, soreness and swelling may occur.
