Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of facial movement, but they don’t have to define your expression. At Kelling Plastic Surgery, neuromodulators are used as part of a refined, preventative approach to facial aging. The goal isn’t to freeze your face. It’s to soften lines in a way that still lets you look like you.
Every treatment is performed with intention, using precise placement, conservative dosing, and an eye for balance. Whether you’re addressing early signs of aging or maintaining results you already love, our team delivers care that’s rooted in your facial anatomy and guided by experience. In our office, we offer Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify to tailor the neuromodulator to your individual needs as a patient.
Botox® is a type of injectable neuromodulator—a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines that form when you raise your eyebrows, frown, or squint. Over time, repeated movement can cause these lines to settle in, even when your face is at rest.
By relaxing the targeted muscles, Botox softens these expression lines and can even help prevent new ones from forming. The result is smoother skin and a more rested appearance, without changing your natural expression. At Kelling Plastic Surgery, we use Botox as well as other neuromodulators as part of a broader plan for aging well—on your terms, and in a way that fits your features, not a trend.
Botox treatments are quick and straightforward. Most appointments take less than 30 minutes. A very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of product into targeted facial muscles. Discomfort is minimal, and no anesthesia is needed.
There’s no downtime required. You may notice a few small bumps or light redness at the injection site immediately after treatment, but these side effects typically resolve within 15 to 30 minutes.
Neuromodulators are most commonly used to treat:
Every treatment plan is based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, providing natural-looking refreshment that moves with you.
Patients often turn to injectable neuromodulators for subtle, preventive effects. It can help:
When used thoughtfully, neuromodulators don't change your face. They support it, keeping your features moving naturally while helping you look rested and refreshed.
You may be a good candidate for Botox if you’ve noticed lines forming with facial movement, or lines that remain even when your face is at rest. Botox is commonly used preventatively in patients in their late 20s to early 30s or as part of a larger rejuvenation plan in patients in their 40s and beyond. If you have already used Botox for an extended length of time, but you feel like you are no longer seeing the results that you had before, then trying another neuromodulator such as Dysport or Daxxify may be appropriate.
During your consultation, we’ll review your goals, evaluate your facial anatomy, and determine if neuromodulators are the right option or if another treatment may better support the results you’re looking for.
Botox involves little to no downtime, but a few small steps after treatment can help ensure the best possible outcome.
Right after your injections, it’s normal to see a few small bumps or light redness at the injection sites. These usually fade within a few hours. You’re free to return to work or most daily activities immediately, though we recommend the following precautions for the first 24 hours:
You won’t need to cancel your day or hide your face, but a little care can help the product settle properly and give you the smoothest, most natural-looking results.
If you ever have questions after your visit, our team is always here to support you.
Most patients begin to see visible smoothing within 3 to 5 days, with full results appearing by 10 to 14 days. The effects typically last around 3 to 4 months, though this can vary slightly depending on your individual metabolism, muscle strength, and the treatment area.
Consistent maintenance every few months can help soften existing lines and reduce the development of new ones over time.
At Kelling Plastic Surgery, you won’t find cookie-cutter treatments or rushed appointments. Every injectable plan is guided by the same principles that shape our surgical care: precision, transparency, and a deep understanding of facial structure.
Whether you’re new to Botox or refining an ongoing treatment plan, our goal is the same — results that look natural, feel effortless, and age well with you.

The cost of Botox varies depending on the number of units needed and the areas being treated. At Kelling Plastic Surgery, we provide a personalized quote after evaluating your anatomy and goals. We focus on achieving subtle, effective results using the lowest effective dose.
The number of units depends on your muscle strength, the area treated, and the result you're aiming for. In general, most patients receive between 30 and 50 units of Botox to treat the forehead, glabella (11s or area between your brows), and your crow's feet (smile lines around your eyes). During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial movement and tailor your treatment accordingly.
Yes. Many patients benefit from combining Botox with dermal fillers or laser procedures for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles, while fillers restore volume—each playing a distinct role in aging well. Laser treatments improve the tone, texture, and radiance of your complexion.
There’s no one “right” age. Some patients begin preventative Botox in their late 20s or early 30s to minimize the development of deeper lines. Others start later, when fine lines become more noticeable. We’ll help you decide if Botox makes sense for your current needs.
Not when it's done thoughtfully. At Kelling Plastic Surgery, we use conservative dosing and precise placement to soften lines without limiting your natural expression. You’ll still look like you — just smoother and more rested.
