Neuromodulators
Wrinkle Relaxers
Movement. Expression. Emotion.
Our faces tell the story of our lives. Every smile, laugh, and raised eyebrow reflects the emotions that make us uniquely human. Over time, these repeated movements leave a lasting impression on the skin—lines that once appeared only with expression gradually remain even at rest.
Neuromodulators—including Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®—soften dynamic wrinkles while preserving natural movement. The goal is never to erase expression, but to restore a refreshed, rested appearance that still feels authentically you.
Every treatment at SkinMed Institute is personally performed by Dr. Mona Sadeghpour, a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained cosmetic dermatologic surgeon whose approach combines advanced facial anatomy, evidence-based medicine, and aesthetic artistry.
Our Philosophy & Approach: Soften but Preserve Long-term Movement
The best neuromodulator treatment is not recognized by where the face doesn't move—it is appreciated by how naturally it still does.
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your facial movement, anatomy, muscle balance, and long-term goals. Rather than chasing individual wrinkles or creating a frozen appearance, we design every treatment around three guiding principles.
-
The face functions as one interconnected system. We evaluate movement as a whole to create balanced, natural-looking results.
-
Thoughtful decisions about muscle selection, injection placement, depth, and dosage are what separate subtle refinement from an overtreated appearance.
-
Every treatment is customized to your anatomy, facial expression, and stage of aging—whether your goal is prevention, softening established lines, or restoring facial harmony.
We Treat Outcomes, Not Units.
Neuromodulator treatments are often discussed by the number of units administered. We believe the right treatment is determined by your anatomy, muscle strength, and aesthetic goals—not a predetermined dose. Two patients with identical wrinkles may require entirely different treatment plans to achieve equally natural, balanced results.
For this reason when you receive a neuromodulator treatment at SkinMed Institute, our goal is to deliver a desired result rather than chase a number of units. If an result enhancement is ever required we will provide it at no charge within 2-3 weeks after your initial treatment. This approach is one of many reasons why we have the highest loyalty and trust with our established patients, and why they return to us year after year for their neuromodulator treatment.

Neck bands (platysma)
Masseter reduction and facial slimming
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
The SkinMed Difference
Neuromodulator injections may appear straightforward, but creating elegant, natural results requires an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy, muscle dynamics, aging, and aesthetic balance.
The SkinMed Experience allows patients to receive their neuromodulator treatments directly by Dr. Mona Sadeghpour. That same judgment — understanding how dozens of facial muscles interact to create movement, symmetry, and expression — shapes Dr. Sadeghpour's approach at every visit. Her perspective is informed not only by clinical experience but by an academic career spent advancing cosmetic dermatology through physician education, national lectures, research, and advisory roles with leading aesthetic companies — ensuring every recommendation reflects the latest understanding of anatomy, safety, and natural aesthetic outcomes.
Additionally, outcome based treatments which are the hallmark of our treatment approach allows you to receive the results you were planning for without worrying about the number of units required.
A Thoughtful Approach to Aging
Neuromodulators are one part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation strategy.
For many patients, the most natural and enduring results come from combining wrinkle relaxers with treatments that improve skin quality, restore facial support, or address pigmentation and vascular change. Rather than treating one concern at a time, we create a thoughtful, long-term plan that allows your results to evolve naturally while preserving what makes you uniquely you.
