Beyond Wrinkle Relaxation
At DermaBlue, our approach to neuromodulators goes far beyond softening forehead lines. With precise, anatomy-based techniques, Botox® and Dysport® can refine the jawline, smooth neck bands, balance the lower face, reduce clenching, and even improve skin texture.
Our goal is never to freeze expression—only to restore harmony and lift in a natural, confident way.
The Science of Balance
Muscles in the face either lift or pull downward. By gently relaxing the depressor muscles, the elevators are free to lift. That’s why small, strategic injections can create remarkable lifting effects—especially when combined with collagen-stimulating technologies like Genius RF Microneedling and medical-grade skincare from Obagi® and PCA Skin®.
The Neck & Jawline — The “Nefertiti Lift”
Goals:
- Smooth vertical neck bands (platysmal tightening)
- Sharpen jawline definition
- Counteract the downward pull from aging muscles
How it works:
Tiny units of Botox® or Dysport® are placed along the platysma and jawline depressors. This relaxes the muscles that pull the lower face downward, allowing natural elevation of the jawline and neck.
What patients notice:
- A smoother, less “stringy” neck
- A subtle, elegant lift at the jawline
- Improved contour when paired with Genius RF tightening
The Lower Face — Subtle Artistry
Every millimeter matters. Lower-face neuromodulation is as much art as science.
| Area | Benefit |
| DAO (Depressor Anguli Oris) | Lifts mouth corners, softens a “resting frown” |
| Mentalis (Chin) | Smooths dimpling and softens deep creases |
| Lip Lines / Lip Flip | Gently rolls out the upper lip for definition |
| Masseters | Slims jawline and reduces clenching/bruxism |
| Gummy Smile | Balances smile by reducing upper-lip elevation |
| Bunny Lines / Nasal Tip | Refines nasal scrunch lines or lifts nasal tip |
