Eleven areas. And then some.
From the forehead down to the platysmal bands in your neck — plus everything neurotoxin treats that has nothing to do with wrinkles. Tap the map to see what we do where, and what it actually changes.
Tap any point on the face.
Every area we treat, shown on real anatomy. Tap a point — or a name below it — to see what we relax there and what it changes.
Forehead Lines
The horizontal lines across the forehead. Dosed carefully and always in balance with the glabella underneath — a dropped brow is nearly always an over-treated forehead sitting on top of an untreated 11.
Not every face needs every area. We’ll tell you which ones will actually change something for you, and which ones won’t.
Neurotoxin isn’t only a wrinkle treatment.
A meaningful share of what we inject has nothing to do with lines at all. Same drug, different target — and in several cases, genuinely medical.
Mesobotox for rosacea & melasma
The same drug, used in a completely different way — tiny, very dilute microdroplets placed into the skin itself rather than into the muscle underneath it.
Because it sits superficially, mesobotox doesn’t stop your face from moving. What it does is quiet what’s happening at the surface: flushing and persistent redness in rosacea, oil production and pore size, and pigment activity in melasma. For melasma in particular it is one layer of a wider protocol rather than a standalone answer — melasma can be suppressed, not cured, and it responds best when mesobotox sits alongside the right laser, peels and topicals.
Hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating
Neurotoxin blocks the signal telling your sweat glands to fire. We treat underarms, hands, feet, the face and the chest — and it is one of the most reliably life-changing things we do.
Treatment takes about fifteen minutes and results here typically hold considerably longer than they do on the face — commonly six months or more. Patients tell us the difference isn’t really about sweat; it’s about no longer planning outfits around it, no longer keeping a spare shirt at work, no longer dreading a handshake, and no longer thinking about it in meetings.
Headaches — frontalis, temples & jaw
If you get frequent headaches, the muscles across your forehead, temples and jaw are often part of the picture — and they are treatable.
We treat the frontalis across the forehead, the temporalis at the temples and the muscles of the TMJ to take tension out of the exact places headaches tend to build. For a lot of patients this is combined with masseter treatment for clenching and with trap tox for the neck and shoulder tension feeding into it. Tell us where your headaches start and what time of day they arrive — it changes where we treat.
Trap tox — neck & shoulder pain
Treating the upper trapezius releases muscle that has been chronically overloaded by desk posture, phones and stress.
If your shoulders live somewhere near your ears, the trapezius is working around the clock and pulling on your neck while it does. Relaxing it reduces the shoulder and neck pain and the tension headaches that come with it. The longer, more elegant neckline that follows is a side effect nobody has ever complained about.
Masseters & temples — bruxism and TMJ
If you clench or grind, the masseter and temporalis are doing that work all night, every night. Relaxing them stops the cycle.
Treatment reduces jaw pain, morning headaches and the wear that grinding puts on your teeth — which is why this is one of the treatments patients are most often sent to us for. Over several rounds the masseter also slims, which softens a heavy or squared jawline. Most people come for the pain and stay for that.
If you’ve been sent to us by a dentist for grinding, or you’ve tried everything for sweating or headaches, say so when you book — these are quick, targeted visits and we plan them differently to a cosmetic appointment.
Pricing, made personal.
Areas differ enormously in how much product they take — a lip flip is a handful of units, masseters and traps are not.
We assess the areas you want treated at your visit and quote them before we treat, so you always approve the plan before a needle comes out. Full face and neck is quoted as one plan, and medical areas like masseters, traps and underarms are quoted individually.
Members take $1 off every unit of neurotoxin. If you’re treating three or four times a year — and twice a year across the full face and neck — that adds up faster than almost anything else we do.
You can book neurotoxin directly — no consult required. If you’d rather talk it through first, a virtual consult is free.
Book NeurotoxinEverything you're wondering.
More than most people expect. Cosmetically we treat the face, the neck and the chest. For excessive sweating we treat the face, chest, armpits, hands and feet. For muscle tension and pain we treat a tight neck and back, the upper trapezius, and the masseters and temples for jaw clenching and headaches. If it is a muscle working harder than it needs to, or a sweat gland firing more than it should, it is worth asking about.
Yes. We treat the frontalis across the forehead, the temporalis at the temples, and the muscles of the TMJ to target the muscles that contribute to headaches. If you also clench or grind, masseter treatment usually belongs in the same plan, and if your shoulders and neck are chronically tight, trap tox often helps as well. Tell us where your headaches start and when they tend to arrive, because it changes where we treat.
We treat eleven areas across the face and neck: forehead lines, the glabella (the 11s), crow's feet, the brow for a brow lift, bunny lines on the nose, the upper lip for a lip flip, gummy smile, the depressor anguli oris at the corners of the mouth, the mentalis for chin dimpling, the jawline for a Nefertiti lift, and the platysmal bands in the neck. Not every face needs every area, and we will tell you which ones will actually change something for you.
Yes. If you clench or grind, the masseter and temporalis muscles are working through the night. Treating them reduces jaw pain, morning headaches and the wear that grinding puts on your teeth. Over several rounds the masseter also slims, which softens a heavy or squared jawline, though most patients come to us for the pain rather than the shape.
Yes. Neurotoxin blocks the signal that tells your sweat glands to fire, and hyperhidrosis of the underarms is one of the most reliable things we treat with it. The appointment takes about fifteen minutes, and results here typically last considerably longer than they do on the face, commonly six months or more.
Trap tox is neurotoxin placed into the upper trapezius, the muscle that runs from your neck out across your shoulders. Desk posture, phones and stress leave it chronically overloaded and pulling on the neck, which drives shoulder pain, neck pain and tension headaches. Relaxing it eases all three. It also lengthens the look of the neckline, which is a side effect nobody objects to.
Mesobotox uses the same drug in a completely different way: tiny, very dilute microdroplets placed into the skin itself rather than into the muscle beneath it. Because it sits superficially it does not stop your face from moving. It calms flushing and persistent redness in rosacea, reduces oil production and pore size, and helps quiet pigment activity in melasma. For melasma it is one layer of a wider protocol rather than a standalone answer, because melasma can be suppressed but not cured.
No. A lip flip is a small dose of neurotoxin along the upper lip that relaxes the muscle curling the lip inward, so more of the pink of your lip shows when you smile. No volume is added at all. Filler adds volume. Some patients want one, some want the other, and plenty do both for different reasons.
