Clinical Injection Philosophy
Thoughtful aesthetic treatments should support your natural features without compromising authentic emotional expression. Under Dr. Soltani's medical direction and clinical oversight, our team precisely softens unwanted expression lines while preserving facial movement, helping keep your smile, brows, and unique expressions natural.
We analyze your face in motion—when smiling, speaking, and frowning—ensuring injections relax targeted tension without affecting surrounding expression.
Lines soften gently over 7 to 14 days rather than creating an abrupt change, giving you a refreshed, subtle appearance that avoids an overdone look.
Individualized cosmetic treatment plans focus on softening selected dynamic lines while supporting natural facial expression and movement.
By reducing repetitive muscle contractions, neuromodulators may help soften existing expression lines and reduce the progression of certain dynamic wrinkles over time.

Relaxes the muscles between your eyebrows to soften tired, stressed, or furrowed expressions while preserving open, relaxed brow movement.

Carefully calibrated micro-injections across the frontalis muscle diminish horizontal lines while supporting natural brow position.

Gentle micro-placement around the outer corners of the eyes softens laugh and squint lines while keeping authentic smile dynamics intact.

Targeted micro-dosing into the downward-pulling brow muscles may subtly elevate heavy arches (typically around 1–2 mm in suitable candidates), opening and brightening your gaze.

Softens dynamic diagonal crinkles along the bridge and sides of the nose that appear when laughing or smiling.

Superficial micro-doses along the upper vermilion border relax the orbicularis oris muscle, allowing the top lip to subtly roll outward for a fuller pout without dermal filler volume.

Relaxes hyperactive upper lip retractor muscles (LLSAN) to help lower the upper lip line when smiling, revealing more balanced dental exposure.

Relaxes overactive chin muscles to smooth out cobblestone puckering, horizontal crease indentations, and chin tension during speaking.

Targeted micro-injections along vertical platysmal bands relieve downward muscular pull on the lower face, potentially improving the appearance of platysmal bands and jawline definition.

Selective dosing into the masseter muscles—with point-of-care ultrasound assessment available when indicated—tapers prominent lower face musculature into a softer contour over 4 to 8 weeks.

Ultrasound Precision
Point-of-care ultrasound provides additional anatomical information by allowing clinicians to visualize selected muscles and surrounding structures in real time. When clinically indicated, this technology can support individualized treatment planning and injection placement, particularly in areas such as the masseter muscles.
Allows clinicians to inspect tissue planes and locate superficial blood vessels in real time to assist in injection planning and help minimize bruising.
Measures masseter muscle thickness and confirms target depth when evaluating patients for jaw clenching or masseter hypertrophy, aiding accurate placement.

Many patients achieve their most natural facial harmony by pairing neuromodulators (to relax upper-face kinetic tension) with subtle structural dermal filler (to lift the midface and support the jawline). During your clinical consultation, our physicians map the optimal synergy.
Your Appointment Experience · What to Expect
Gentle, unrushed care guided by physician precision. Here is exactly what happens during your appointment and the days following, so you feel completely at ease.
We begin with a thorough examination of your facial anatomy at rest and in motion. Your clinician reviews your goals, medical history, and designs an individualized dosing plan tailored to your features.
Using micro-droplet placement and hair-thin needles, your qualified injector delivers calibrated doses into targeted muscles under physician oversight, offering a quick treatment with minimal downtime for most patients.
Targeted muscles begin to gently ease tension. Expression lines soften progressively while your smile, brow mobility, and natural expressive warmth remain supported.
A complimentary follow-up assessment may be arranged approximately 14 days after treatment to review your results, facial balance, and response. Any additional treatment will be discussed separately when appropriate.

Preparation & Aftercare
Carefully structured clinical guidance to promote comfort, minimize bruising, and support predictable, natural results.
Inform your clinician about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and supplements before treatment. Do not discontinue prescribed medications unless advised by your prescribing healthcare professional.
Consider pausing potent topical retinoids or exfoliating chemical acids (AHAs/BHAs) 24 to 48 hours prior to treatment to help avoid surface skin irritation at injection sites.
Avoiding alcohol for 24 hours prior to your appointment is customarily recommended, as alcohol can temporarily dilate peripheral blood vessels and increase the likelihood of minor bruising.
Arrive well-hydrated and have a light meal before your appointment to ensure optimal comfort throughout your consultation and treatment.
As a customary precaution, patients are advised to remain upright and avoid lying completely flat or bending forward excessively for four hours following injection.
Refrain from rubbing, massaging, or applying firm direct pressure to the treated facial areas for 24 hours. Avoid tight-fitting headwear or goggles over the brow.
Delay heavy cardiovascular exercise, hot saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs for 24 to 48 hours to minimize excessive flushing and localized swelling.
A follow-up assessment may be arranged around day 14 to evaluate results, facial balance, and treatment response. Any additional dosing is evaluated individually.
Suitability for cosmetic neuromodulator treatment depends on your goals, facial muscle dynamics, anatomical assessment, and overall medical history.
Contraindications: Neuromodulators are not administered to patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, individuals with known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or its excipients, or patients with certain pre-existing neuromuscular disorders (such as myasthenia gravis or ALS).
Common Inquiries
Learn about comfort, individualized dosing, timing, and maintaining natural-looking results under physician direction.
Conservative dosing and anatomical assessment aim to preserve natural movement and expressive warmth, while individual responses vary. By targeting only the specific overactive muscle fibers responsible for deep creases, our clinicians focus on softening lines without creating a rigid or unnatural appearance.
Discomfort is generally minimal. We use ultra-fine needles that feel like a brief, mild pinprick. There is minimal downtime for most patients—most people resume regular daily activities immediately following their appointment, adhering to basic post-care guidelines.
Most patients begin noticing initial muscle relaxation within 3 to 5 days, with settled smoothing typically evaluated around day 14. Longevity varies based on individual metabolism, muscle activity, product choice, and dosage, generally lasting between 3 to 4 months.
Neuromodulator pricing is based on the total number of units required for your anatomy, muscle strength, and clinical goals. Because muscle mass and treatment plans differ for each individual, your clinician will discuss an individualized quote during your initial consultation prior to treatment.
Point-of-care ultrasound provides valuable anatomical information by allowing clinicians to visualize selected muscles, soft tissues, and surrounding blood vessels in real time. When clinically indicated, this technology supports individualized treatment planning and injection placement, particularly in complex areas such as the masseters.
