Dr. Alexandra Braunstein offers personalized neuromodulator treatments, including Dysport, DAXXIFY, and BOTOX, in Morristown as a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation. These treatments help reverse the effects of aging by softening unwanted facial wrinkles with natural-looking, long-lasting results.
How Dynamic Wrinkles Form
Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial movements over time. Common expressions such as smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows lead to muscle contractions that fold the skin. As we age, these folds become permanent, leading to wrinkles, especially on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. These lines can make us appear older or more tired than we feel.
What Are Neuromodulators Like Dysport and DAXXIFY?
Neuromodulators like Dysport and DAXXIFY are cosmetic treatments derived from botulinum toxin type A, used to temporarily relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) and DAXXIFY, a unique formula with a peptide stabilizer, reduce the appearance of wrinkles by targeting specific facial muscles. These treatments help restore a youthful appearance and provide long-lasting results.

How Neuromodulators Work
Dynamic wrinkles develop due to the repeated use of facial muscles. Neuromodulators like Dysport and DAXXIFY block nerve signals to specific muscles, causing them to relax or temporarily paralyze. This reduces the ability of the muscles to contract, smoothing away associated wrinkles and creases. Results gradually appear within 3 to 7 days and can last up to 8 months, depending on the product used.
The Treatment Details
Each neuromodulator treatment session lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. Dr. Braunstein will assess your facial skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. She will determine the appropriate units of the product and mark the targeted areas. Using a fine needle, small amounts of the neuromodulator are injected into the specified muscles. The injections are quick and relatively painless, with some patients feeling a mild pinching sensation.
Recovery & Aftercare
After receiving Dysport or DAXXIFY, you can return to your normal activities with little to no downtime. However, it’s essential to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for the first 24 hours to prevent the product from spreading to unintended areas. You may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these symptoms typically subside within a few hours. Avoid strenuous physical activities for a day or two following treatment to ensure optimal results.
Results & Longevity
The effects of neuromodulators like Dysport and DAXXIFY become visible within 3 to 7 days, with full results appearing after 1 to 2 weeks. While these treatments are temporary, they provide visible wrinkle reduction for 3 to 6 months, and DAXXIFY can last up to 8 months. To maintain your results, follow-up treatments are recommended. The duration of the results depends on individual factors, such as skin type, age, and the severity of the wrinkles.
