Targeted Enhancements
The ultimate facial rejuvenation combination. Neuromodulators address dynamic wrinkles while fillers restore lost volume and smooth static lines. Together, they provide comprehensive facial refreshment.
Maintain smooth, firm skin between neuromodulator appointments with radiofrequency skin tightening. RF addresses skin laxity while Botox/Jeuveau addresses muscle movement—different mechanisms, synergistic results.
Maximize your investment in smooth skin with retinoids, peptides, and growth factors. Great skincare maintains the quality of skin you're protecting from wrinkles.
Address surface concerns like pigmentation and texture while neuromodulators handle expression lines beneath. Each treatment enhances the results of the other.
Most clients return every 3-4 months initially. With consistent treatment, many find they can extend intervals as muscles remain more relaxed between sessions.
The Evolution of Neuromodulators
The cosmetic potential of botulinum toxin was discovered somewhat accidentally. In the 1980s, ophthalmologist Dr. Jean Carruthers was using the product to treat patients with eye spasms when she noticed their frown lines were disappearing. Her husband, dermatologist Dr. Alastair Carruthers, helped pioneer the aesthetic applications, and in 2002, Botox became FDA-approved for cosmetic use.
What made neuromodulators revolutionary: For the first time, there was a treatment that addressed why dynamic wrinkles form—not just how they look. By reducing muscle movement, neuromodulators prevent wrinkles from deepening and can actually allow existing lines to soften over time.
Today, neuromodulators are the most popular cosmetic treatment in the world—not because of marketing, but because they simply work. Nothing else addresses dynamic wrinkles with this level of effectiveness, precision, and convenience. Botox has one of the longest and most extensively studied safety records in aesthetic medicine.
Common Questions

Results vary based on individual factors including muscle strength, metabolism, skin condition, and treatment area. Typical results last 3-4 months, though individual duration varies.
Botox and Jeuveau are prescription medications that must be administered by licensed medical professionals. Treatment at SoftTouch Studio is performed by trained, certified injectors. Both are priced at $13.99 per unit with a 50-unit minimum.
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites. Rare side effects include headache, eyelid drooping, or asymmetry. Most side effects are temporary and resolve without intervention.
Neuromodulators address dynamic wrinkles (lines from muscle movement). Static wrinkles (lines present at rest) may require dermal fillers or other treatments for optimal improvement.
Results are not immediate. Allow 7-14 days to see full effect before assessing results or scheduling touch-ups.
Botox and Jeuveau are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for clients with neuromuscular disorders, or those with known allergies to botulinum toxin products.
Unit counts are estimates; actual treatment may require more or fewer units based on individual assessment. Consultation determines personalized treatment plan and accurate pricing.
