Precision Neuromodulators
Refreshing Your Expression
We all want to look as vibrant and rested as we feel. However, years of expressive squinting, frowning, and smiling can leave behind “shadows” that make us appear tired, angry, or older than our years. For our patients in Bozeman, neuromodulators offer a way to “hit the pause button” on these expression lines, smoothing the skin while maintaining the natural character of your face. At SkinCare MT, we specialize in “The Natural Look”—results that look refreshed, never “frozen.”
The Science of Dynamic Wrinkles
Every time you express an emotion, your facial muscles contract, folding the overlying skin. These are called dynamic rhytides. Over time, as collagen levels deplete, these folds become permanent “static” lines. By targeting the specific muscles responsible for these movements—such as the corrugator supercilii for frown lines or the orbicularis oculi for crow’s feet—we can relax the tension that causes the skin to crease.
Anatomical Precision at SkinCare MT
At SkinCare MT, we treat Neuromodulator therapy (ICD-10: Z41.1) as an art form rooted in deep anatomical knowledge. Every face is asymmetrical, and every muscle carries different strength; therefore, your dosing is never “standard.”
How Treatment Works
Neuromodulators function via competitive inhibition of acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. By temporarily blocking the signal between the nerve and the targeted muscle, the muscle relaxes. This allows the overlying skin to smooth out and, more importantly, prevents the deepening of wrinkles over time through a process of “proactive aging.”

Tried, true, and predictable—our most classic neurotoxin option and a great starting point for many first-time patients. We use Botox to treat masseters and neck lines.
-
Dysport
Known for its softer spread and natural-looking results, with a faster onset for many patients compared to Botox.
-
Daxxify
A fast-acting neurotoxin that may provide longer-lasting results for some patients due to its peptide formulation.

PATIENT QUESTIONS
Botox® / Dysport® / Daxxify® FAQ
Clinical answers from our board-certified dermatologists.
You’ll start to see a “softening” of lines fairly quickly. Daxxify often kicks in within 1–2 days, while Botox usually takes 3–5 days. For both treatments, you should wait a full 10–14 days to see the final, peak results.
At SkinCare MT, our philosophy is “natural-looking refreshment.” Looking frozen is usually the result of too much product or poor placement, not the product itself. Our expert injectors target specific muscles so you can still smile, frown, and look like yourself—just smoother.
Typically three to four months.
The most common side effects are very mild, such as slight redness, swelling, or a small bruise at the injection site that fades in a day or two. Some patients experience a temporary “tightness” or a mild headache immediately following the treatment.
To minimize the risk of bruising, we recommend avoiding alcohol for 24 hours and staying away from blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil supplements for 3–5 days before your visit (unless prescribed by your doctor).
There is zero downtime! You can return to work or your daily routine immediately. We just ask that you stay upright for 4 hours and skip the gym for 24 hours to let the product settle perfectly.
Patients choose neuromodulators when expression lines begin to linger at rest or when they want a preventative approach to facial aging. Many value physician expertise and conservative dosing over trend-driven results.
BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.
Dysport® temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. One injection into each of the five points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines.
Daxxify is a newer FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator (botulinum toxin type A) used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines—especially the “11s” between the eyebrows. It works by blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, relaxing them to smooth expression wrinkles.
