Neurotoxins F.A.Q.s
BOTOX® is a FDA approved neurotoxin, that temporarily blocks signals between your nerves and your muscles, softening visible wrinkles. BOTOX is a specific formulation of wrinkle relaxer that exists within a range of other comparable options, such as XEOMIN®, Jeuveau®, and Dysport®. These wrinkle-reducing options contain type A botulinum toxin, but each one is created a little differently to address certain issues. A Botox treatment is quick and easy, taking only a few minutes to complete. A quick and easy non-surgical procedure, patients will usually notice the full effects of the treatment in 3 to 7 days.
The number neurotoxin treatments given will vary according to individual goals and the severity and depth of your facial wrinkles. Our team will recommend the correct quantity of BOTOX injections according to your desired aesthetic outcomes and whether you wish to address the forehead, brow area, or Crow's feet. To keep up with your cosmetic results, our team could suggest scheduling BOTOX treatments every 3 – 4 months at Modern Medical Spa.
Simpler and less expensive than plastic surgery, you can combine BOTOX injections with other aesthetic procedures to boost results. Book a consultation with our medical professionals for a personal assessment.

Botox is a noninvasive facial treatment that can help soften the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the upper face without surgery. It can also be effective at helping prevent dynamic wrinkle lines from forming in younger adults. In some cases, Botox can also be used to help treat conditions like excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) or recurring migraines. You are a good candidate for injectables like BOTOX® if you are experiencing:
- Wrinkles on the forehead
- Noticeable furrows between the brows (the “Elevens”)
- “Crow's feet” around the eyes
For more significant wrinkles within the face, an injectable filler may be better suited to you in order to achieve your goals. During your consultation, our highly qualified team will help you decide whether BOTOX or other treatment options are ideal for achieving your desired outcome.
While wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX, are used to smooth facial creases by temporarily blocking your muscle contractions, dermal fillers are a different kind of cosmetic tool that improve volume in the face. Dermal fillers are used to refresh aging facial features and help reduce enduring wrinkles. During your consultation, the Modern Medical Spa team can discuss if you might be a good candidate for a filler (like JUVÉDERM® or Restylane®) to complement your neurotoxin results.
Fillers
What are dermal fillers, and are they right for me?
The professional at Modern Medical Spa is a trusted source for dermal fillers, like JUVÉDERM, in the Dallas, TX area. Ideal candidates for injectable wrinkle fillers are women or men who would like to enhance the appearance of the following:
- Facial wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Fine lines around the mouth or nose
- Age-related loss of volume in the cheeks and/or lips
- Naturally thin cheeks or lips
Our highly skilled injectors can administer filler injections as a singular treatment or combined with other cosmetic services to rejuvenate and refresh the appearance of your face, while avoiding the downtime and expense of surgical procedures (like facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid lifts, or facial implants).
Filler injections are performed by our certified injectors and typically take about 15 – 60 minutes to complete, depending on the number of areas that are being addressed. Most individuals notice visible improvements I facial volume within a few days following filler injections. Any post-treatment effects, such as mild bruising or swelling, should disappear in around 5 – 7 days. Although you may resume your normal routine after your appointment, patients should avoid any strenuous activity for the following 24 hours. Please avoid touching your face immediately after your injections, to avoid moving the filler into unwanted areas. Although some patients find facial volume improvements last longer after a few years of injections, typical results of fillers usually are visible up to one year. Our injectors can discuss with you the best strategy to sustain longer term results.

KYBELLA
WHAT IS KYBELLA?
At Modern Medical Spa, our team is excited to offer a groundbreaking, nonsurgical solution for transforming the look of a double chin. Even a small amount of fat in the upper throat area can create the presence of submental fullness in the upper neck area, leaving many feeling self-conscious about their appearance. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce fat under the chin, KYBELLA is the first injectable treatment option for diminishing the presence of upper neck fullness and creating a slimmer facial profile. The active component in KYBELLA is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid (DA), which works like the natural DA found in the body to dissolve and absorb fat cells. Once it is injected beneath the chin, the fat cells are destroyed and no longer able to retain fat, allowing you to enjoy a slender neck and more defined jawline often for years to come. During a private consultation at our Dallas, TX facility, we can help you determine if KYBELLA chin injections are ideal for achieving your aesthetic goals.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF KYBELLA?
A personalized KYBELLA treatment plan at Modern Medical Spa offers a number of great benefits that can rejuvenate and remake your look, including:
- Eliminating stubborn neck fat
- Dramatically reducing and tightening a double chin
- Recontouring the neckline and facial profile
- Defining the chin and jawline
- Creating a younger, slimmer look
- Treatments are quick and pain-free
- Little to no downtime
- Results can be long-lasting
- No surgery or scarring
Ideal candidates for KYBELLA treatments are often those with moderate to severe concentrated fat in the upper throat (submental area) that results in a double chin appearance or undesired fullness. Excess pockets of fat below the chin can be caused by genetics, aging, or weight fluctuations, leading to a weaker chin and jawline and a less defined profile. KYBELLA injections treat resistant pockets of fat that cannot be minimized with common weight loss methods and offer an alternative to cosmetic surgery. If you are at or near a healthy weight, but diet and exercise have not proven effective at reducing submental fullness, KYBELLA from our Dallas, TX med spa may be an ideal treatment for your goals.
KYBELLA is performed by our certified injectors within one of the luxurious treatment rooms at Modern Medical Spa. The process only takes about 15 – 20 minutes and generally does not require anesthesia, leaving you free to return to a normal routine after treatment. It is common to notice temporary numbness, bruising, or swelling under the chin following KYBELLA, but these symptoms should not last more than a few days. While the fat that is destroyed does not return, it is still important to maintain a steady weight after your KYBELLA treatments to keep new pockets of fat from developing. Ideal results may be achieved in a single treatment or through multiple injections spaced 3 – 4 weeks apart, depending on your individual needs.
The price of KYBELLA treatments will vary based on the number of sessions you need. A customized treatment plan will be made to work with your budget and goals in your initial consultation. A member of our staff will also review payment options with you during your first appointment.
Deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in KYBELLA, works to break down fat cells in the body. Once destroyed, these cells cannot regenerate. This is why additional KYBELLA injections should not be needed as soon as you have reached your desired outcome.
Right now, KYBELLA is only available for the treatment of the submental area. KYBELLA has been proven to effectively reduce the appearance of a double chin. KYBELLA isn't approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any other areas of the face or body.
There are a few factors that could make you ineligible to receive a KYBELLA treatment. You need to be over the age of 18 years old, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and cannot have an active infection at your neck. Before the process begins, you should be open about your medical history and health concerns with your injector, so they can decide if you may be at risk for an adverse reaction from the treatment.
During your initial consultation, a customized injection plan will be tailored to meet your desired results. Most often, patients get between 2 – 4 KYBELLA injections to achieve their goals. KYBELLA treatments must also be made around 30 days apart. You shouldn't receive any more than six treatments.

MICRONEEDLING
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling with SkinPen is a minimally invasive treatment used by our staff at Modern Medical Spa in Dallas and Plano, TX, to rejuvenate your skin and combat the visible signs of aging. SkinPen is cutting edge tool that uses micro-gauge needles to safely and effectively create micro-injuries in problem areas of the skin, helping to minimize scars, pores, stretch marks, and other skin blemishes. This results in the triggering of your body's natural production of collagen and elastin - the two building blocks in the skin that work to enhance the appearance and health of your complexion. This technique pairs especially well with other skin treatments, in particular with serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Schedule a consultation at Modern Medical Spa to learn how the benefits of microneedling with SkinPen or other personalized options can help you attain your skincare goals!
SHOULD I GET MICRONEEDLING?
Not ready for surgery? This quick, in-office procedure could be a great option for men and women looking to address the following list of skin conditions:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven texture
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Dull skin tone
During your initial consultation, the highly trained staff at Modern Medical Spa will evaluate your skin and then develop your custom treatment plan. Then we’ll discuss your costs and what to expect during the procedure. Modern Medical Spa frequently has specials on treatment packages, so ask about our current deals in your appointment.
It really depends on the condition of your skin, and your aesthetic goals. Most patients receive 3 – 6 microneedling sessions to get their desired results. Microneedling may be safely performed every 4 – 6 weeks. After achieving your optimal results, we do suggest scheduling maintenance sessions, most commonly two times a year.
We highly recommend Microneedling as an ideal candiate for combining with other treatments, as channels are created in your skin that help serums and other topical products to penetrate the lower layers of your skin. Also known as the “vampire facial,” microneedling is often performed with other treatments like vitamin-rich serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma). Thanks to our team’s combined decades of experience, consult with our staff at Modern Medical Spa to decide if microneedling with Skinpen is the right treatment for you.
In general, the microneedling procedure is appropriate for all skin types and tones. As the skin injuries it creates are so small, and as there are very few side effects after the treatment, it can be a great addition to your skin care regimen. Safe to most areas of the body, Microneedling can be applied to the arms, face, neck, thighs, chest, and lower legs. Please note: Microneedling isn’t recommended you have:
- been on Accutane within the last 2 – 3 months
- an active skin infection
- herpes simplex
- an open wound.
Additionally, please check with your doctor before getting microneedling if you are pregnant, nursing, or a radiation therapy patient.
PRP THERAPY
WHAT IS PRP THERAPY?
Modern Medical Spa is thrilled to offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to help revitalize and refresh your facial appearance. PRP therapy is one of the hottest cosmetic treatments on the aesthetic market today due to its natural method and promising results. It utilizes a patient's own nutrient-rich blood plasma to stimulate the skin, helping to conceal the prevalence of fine lines or other complexion irregularities. PRP therapy is also sometimes combined with microneedling to activate the skin's healing process and encourage skin cell renewal. For more information about minimally invasive PRP for face, neck, or decolletage skin concerns, call Modern Medical Spa in Dallas, TX to schedule a private consultation. Our well-trained medical aestheticians will be happy to discuss the benefits of PRP and what this nonsurgical facial rejuvenation treatment can do for your skin.
IS PRP THERAPY RIGHT FOR ME?
Women and men who would like to improve their skin tone and texture may be great candidates for PRP at our Dallas, TX med spa. This treatment may also be ideal for individuals with dull skin and other concerns since it promotes the natural production of collagen — which is an essential component for maintaining skin elasticity and a more youthful appearance. At your consultation, our experienced team will listen to your skin concerns and goals. Please also inform us if you have anemia, blood disorders, or skin conditions so that we can determine if PRP is a safe choice for you. PRP may be recommended if you have:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- An uneven skin tone
- Acne scars or pockmarks
- Hyperpigmentation
- Imbalanced skin
- Rough skin texture
- Other signs of aging
WHAT TO EXPECT WITH PRP TREATMENT
Plasma from PRP treatment naturally promotes the production of collagen and elastin to create younger, tighter-looking skin. Because it uses your own blood, the risk of adverse or allergic reactions is extremely low. Once the blood is collected, it is placed into a centrifuge machine, which separates the plasma from the red blood cells. Your own blood plasma is then precisely injected into the designated areas of concern. It is common for the skin to be a bit red following the procedure, but this generally subsides after a few days. While the aesthetic specialists at Modern Medical Spa will personalize your PRP treatment according to your needs, most individuals receive treatments every 4 – 6 weeks to maintain results.
RENEW YOUR SKIN WITH PRP

SLIM SHOT INJECTION
This unique blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids helps accelerate fat breakdown in the body and minimize water retention while elevating energy levels and immune system health.
Sculptra
Sculptra may stimulate collagen growth which helps to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds over time.
FDA-approved, Sculptra gradually helps to replace lost collagen—the most common protein in the body that is used to form a framework to support your cells and tissue. Results can often last up to two years. Sculptra helps address the underlying causes of aging, going beyond only treating the symptoms.
As a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, Sculptra helps restore the deep, underlying structure of the skin to diminish facial wrinkles. Sculptra works with your body within the deep dermis to help revitalize collagen production and help restore your skin’s inner structure and volume. As the Sculptra PLLA microparticles are absorbed, they help stimulate collagen production. Rebuilt collagen strands begin gradually helping to restore facial volume and the look of fullness to wrinkles and folds.
If you are self-conscious about looking like you have “had work done,” Sculptra may be a great option for you.
