Neuromodulators at Desert Med Aesthetics
Discover a refined approach to facial rejuvenation with the complete spectrum of neuromodulators available at Desert Med Aesthetics. Dr. Doriana Cosgrove offers Botox®, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Xeomin®, each tailored to smooth lines, soften creases, and enhance your natural beauty without surgery. In addition to classic wrinkle treatment, advanced injectables can target hyperhidrosis and even refine your nose shape with minimally invasive techniques.
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that use a highly purified form of botulinum toxin to relax targeted facial muscles, minimizing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead furrows. By temporarily blocking nerve signals, these products offer smoother, more rejuvenated skin for months at a time.
Botox® Cosmetic
Botox® remains the gold standard for treating moderate to severe facial lines, including crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and the “11s” between your brows. With decades of safe use and FDA approval for cosmetic and medical applications, Botox® provides predictably beautiful, natural results. In-office treatments take 10 to 30 minutes, and improvements typically last three to six months. As one of Palm Desert’s highest-rated injectors, Dr. Cosgrove ensures a balanced, subtle enhancement with artistic placement.
Botox® is also FDA-approved to treat conditions like teeth grinding, TMJ, chronic migraines, and excess sweating for months of relief with no downtime.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau, also known as Newtox, is the latest neuromodulator to gain FDA approval, ideal for smoothing glabellar lines and other facial wrinkles. Chemically similar to Botox®, Jeuveau is typically less costly and can deliver visible results in three to 10 days, with duration comparable to other neuromodulators.
Desert Med Aesthetics is among the area’s first to offer Jeuveau injections for patients seeking a targeted, reliable, and affordable alternative. Results appear quickly and can last several months, and the process is fast and minimally invasive.
Dysport
Dysport works especially well for larger surface areas like the forehead due to its unique formulation. Its smaller protein molecules allow for wider dispersion within treated muscles for a softer, more natural-looking rejuvenation. Results are often noticeable within two to four days and last around three to four months.
Dysport’s rapid onset and spread make it ideal for people seeking quick improvements or those who have not achieved their desired improvements with other products.
Xeomin®
Xeomin® offers a “naked” botulinum toxin formula without the added proteins found in other brands. This purity reduces the risk of allergic reactions and makes Xeomin® an excellent choice for sensitive clients. Effects generally manifest in three to five days and last three to four months.
Xeomin®’s clean profile ensures consistent results. It’s suitable for treating frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles, and is often an excellent choice when patients develop resistance or sensitivities to other neuromodulators.
Comparing Neuromodulators
Product | Onset | Duration | Spread | Purity | Ideal For |
Botox® | 3-5 days | 3-6 months | Low | Standard | Forehead furrows, crow’s feet, glabellar lines, platysmal bands |
Jeuveau | 3-10 days | 3-5 months | Low | High | Glabellar lines |
Dysport | 2-4 days | 3-4 months | Wider | Standard | Forehead, large areas |
Xeomin® | 3-5 days | 3-4 months | Lowest | Purest | Sensitive skin, frown lines |
All four options provide effective wrinkle reduction and are non-invasive, allowing for fast recovery and excellent results. Dr. Cosgrove will recommend the best option at your consultation after evaluating your anatomy, goals, and medical history.

Beyond Wrinkles: Medical Uses and Advanced Techniques
Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Neuromodulators offer proven relief for patients suffering from excess sweating. Botox® injections—quickly performed in-office—can reduce underarm sweating by up to 87%, with effects lasting six months or more. By blocking the chemical signals that activate sweat glands, patients experience a dramatic improvement in comfort and confidence.
Treatment is simple, requiring only a few shallow injections in the affected area (underarms, palms, feet), with little to no downtime. Side effects are minimal, and most patients return to normal activity almost immediately.
Nose Reshaping with Botox® and PDO Threads
Non-surgical rhinoplasty offers subtle, beautiful enhancements to nose shape using a combination of PDO threads and strategic Botox® administration. Dr. Cosgrove places these biocompatible threads under the skin to lift, contour, and refine nasal appearance. Botox® may be used to relax muscles around the tip or correct minor asymmetries.
Results from non-surgical nose reshaping are highly customizable, allowing Dr. Cosgrove to address individual concerns such as slight bumps, mild asymmetry, or even a drooping nasal tip for balanced enhancements. Discomfort is minimal and you can immediately resume your daily activities afterward, making this option convenient for those with busy lifestyles.
Benefits:
- Immediate, natural results with minimal downtime
- Customized to lift, refine, or straighten the nose based on your facial structure
- Collagen stimulation for lasting improvements (threads dissolve in six to nine months, while collagen persists)
- No surgery, no scarring, and reversible effects
- Safe, comfortable, and cost-effective
Ideal for patients wanting enhancement without surgical commitment. Most procedures take 30 to 45 minutes and require little or no recovery time. Nose reshaping with threads and Botox® is perfect for refining the bridge, lifting a drooping tip, or correcting angle issues.
