Selection: Dr. Krever and her team tailor product selection to each patient's anatomy and expression patterns during consultation.


Botox

Do you furrow your brows unconsciously, when focusing or when stressed? In the same way that we may discover we are holding tension in our shoulders and neck at the end of a long day, we often contract and overuse muscles in our face without even realizing it. Stress takes enough out of our lives; it should not affect our faces. Botox is an injectable medicine that targets the facial muscles whose contractions cause facial lines. Botox may be administered as frequently as every 3-6 months, depending on your specific needs.


Dr. Krever and her staff at Source Medical Aesthetics  administer precise injections, carefully relaxing specific muscles and reducing lines and restoring lift without compromising expression. Botox is a treatment that is quickly learned by many injectors but rarely mastered. If you have had problems in the past with Botox (droopy brows or eyelids, worsened lines or distorted expression), you shouldn’t assume that Botox is not a good treatment for you. In the same way that getting a bad haircut does not make all haircuts a bad idea, the results of Botox are much more.

Dysport

We offer a multitude of treatment options to accommodate every type of patient and facial concern. Dysport is an alternative to Botox consisting of a similar botulinum toxin. It has been used widely in Europe for 20+ years and received FDA approval for use in the US in 2009. There are some subtle differences with this product compared to Botox, and based on your needs it can be used in addition to or instead of Botox. Talk to Dr. Krever to understand which medicine is more appropriate for you.

Xeomin

Xeomin is the latest player in the category of muscle relaxing, line-reducing treatments. Many consider it an evolution of Botox in that it retains the molecular foundation of the original but strips away accessory proteins, resulting in an even more highly refined product. The resulting effect is softer, gentler and remarkably natural looking. It is a perfect treatment for those new to injected wrinkle-relaxers or anyone looking for an effortless, fresh appearance.

Which Neuromodulator Is Right for You?


Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin all temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles, but they differ in formulation, dosing, and how they may be used. Rather than choosing a product based on brand alone, your provider at Source Medical Aesthetics will recommend the appropriate neuromodulator based on your facial anatomy, treatment area, muscle movement, previous injectable experience, and aesthetic goals.

FAQS

Neuromodulators are injectable medications, such as botulinum toxin types, that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. By reducing muscle activity, they soften dynamic wrinkles like:

- frown lines between the eyebrows

- crow's feet and around the eyes

- horizontal forehead lines

The result is a smoother, more refreshed appearance while preserving natural facial expressions when administered by an expert injector.

You'll typically notice the first signs within a few days, with most people seeing clearer improvement between days 5 and 14. Full effect usually settles in about two weeks. Changes continue to harmonize over the first week as the injected product takes full effect. 

The duration of effect is commonly around three to four months, though it can vary by individual injection area, product use, and your metabolism. Some patients notice longer-lasting results with consistent maintenance visits. 

Yes, neuromodulators (such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®) are exceptionally safe, FDA-approved cosmetic treatments backed by over two decades of extensive clinical research and successful use in aesthetic medicine. 


Derived from a highly purified, isolated botulinum toxin protein, these injectables work safely by temporarily relaxing target facial muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles without entering the bloodstream or causing systemic side effects.  

No, neuromodulator injections involve minimal discomfort and are generally described by patients as a quick, minor pinch. At Source Medical Aesthetics, patient comfort is our absolute priority.


The entire procedure takes less than 10 to 15 minutes at our Matawan office, and the vast majority of our clients from Marlboro and Holmdel return to their normal daily activities immediately with zero required downtime.

Not at all. You will not look frozen or expressionless when your treatment is performed by a highly trained clinical professional. 


Our core philosophy is centered entirely on delivering natural-looking, elegant results that preserve your facial character. Under expert physiological mapping, neuromodulators like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are dosed precisely to soften dynamic wrinkles and relax overactive muscles while completely maintaining your ability to express emotion naturally. 


We ensure you look beautifully refreshed, never over-treated.

The common side effects of neuromodulator injections are mild, temporary, and localized entirely to the injection sites. 


Patients may experience minor redness, slight swelling, tenderness, or microscopic bruising immediately following the procedure, which typically resolves completely within a few hours to a couple of days. 


Rare side effects, such as a temporary headache or slight eyelid heaviness, are minimized significantly by choosing a physician-led team and following strict post-care instructions—such as staying upright and avoiding vigorous exercise for 4 hours post-treatment.

You should typically schedule a neuromodulator maintenance injection every 3 to 4 months to maintain a smooth, wrinkle-free appearance. This timeline aligns with the natural biological cycle during which your body safely breaks down the botulinum toxin and muscle mobility gradually returns. For our long-term patients visiting from Colts Neck and surrounding communities, maintaining a consistent, proactive treatment schedule can actually condition the target facial muscles to relax over time, frequently extending the longevity of your refreshed results.

Yes, many patients benefit from a coordinated plan that uses neuromodulators for dynamic wrinkles and filler for volume, helping you to balance and refresh the entire face in a single visit.
