Neuromodulators in Valparaiso are cosmetic injections that can temporarily relax and soften unwanted facial wrinkles and expression lines. The Med Spa on Randolph offers cutting-edge neuromodulators, including Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. We also offer the lip flip technique for a subtle enhancement of the lips.
Botox
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a groundbreaking solution for addressing dynamic wrinkles. Made of the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A, Botox has been used for medical purposes like treating muscle spasms and migraines for decades. However, it was approved by the FDA for cosmetic use in 2002, following which it rapidly became a household name.
Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific muscles, leading to muscle relaxation. When injected into targeted areas on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, Botox inhibits the muscles responsible for forming dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. As the muscles relax, the skin smoothes out, diminishing the wrinkles.

Dysport
Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) gained approval for cosmetic use in the United States in 2009. This injectable neurotoxin is known for its ability to temporarily alleviate wrinkles and facial lines through its muscle-relaxing properties. Like Botox, Dysport also corrects unwanted dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
Dysport differs from Botox primarily in its formulation and diffusion pattern. It contains smaller protein molecules, potentially allowing it to spread more widely when injected. This makes it suitable for treating larger areas of the face with fewer injections. However, the difference is minimal — both work incredibly well and produce results that last up to 4 months.
Xeomin
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) received approval for cosmetic use in 2011. This injectable neurotoxin offers a non-surgical approach to combat facial wrinkles, such as the glabellar lines between the eyebrows. What distinguishes Xeomin is its unique manufacturing process, which results in a purified form of botulinum toxin type A without complexing proteins.
Unlike Botox and Dysport, Xeomin does not contain additional proteins, which could potentially lead to a reduced risk of antibody resistance over time. The absence of these proteins means you are less likely to develop a tolerance to Xeomin after years of repeated use. This makes Xeomin popular amongst clients with a tolerance to Botox or Dysport.

Lip Flip
The lip flip is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by creating a subtle and natural-looking lift. Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, the lip flip utilizes neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin to relax the muscles around the upper lip, allowing the lip to gently roll outward, revealing a fuller and more defined contour.
During the lip flip procedure, a few carefully placed injections of the chosen neurotoxin are administered along the border of the upper lip. These injections target the orbicularis oris muscle, which surrounds the mouth. By relaxing this muscle, the lip’s edge relaxes and slightly curls upward, creating the illusion of a more prominent lip without fillers.
