Injectable cosmetic “toxes” for wrinkle relaxing
At Revive RX Medspa in Kansas City, Missouri, we offer wrinkle removal treatments using some of the most popular neuromodulators, including Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify and Xeomin. These injectables use neurotoxins, or neuromodulators, to relax the muscles responsible for lines and wrinkles so that you can achieve smoother skin. We refer to them sometimes as injectable “toxes” which provide wrinkle relaxers for the face. Botox can also double as a pain-relieving option for patients suffering from teeth grinding, migraine pain, hyperhidrosis, and even TMJ.
How Neuromodulators Work
Neuromodulators combat aging by relaxing muscles responsible for the formation of expression lines. They target the source of expression lines and repetitive muscular movements to relax those muscles, resulting in much softer expressions.
The goal of neuromodulators is not to eliminate your ability to express but to soften your expression. The active ingredient is a neurotoxin, and following treatment, that ingredient will begin relaxing your muscles so that you can achieve smoother-looking skin.
What Are Neurotoxins?
Neurotoxins are the active ingredient in our wrinkle relaxers, and they work by relaxing facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, also known as expression lines. These purified proteins, also called botulinum toxin A, block the communication between the muscles and the nerve signals.
After treatment with neurotoxins, when your brain tells the muscles to contract, instead of responding, they will maintain a relaxed state to help smooth the current lines and wrinkles and help prevent the formation of new ones.
Our Wrinkle Relaxers
Our wrinkle relaxers can correct some of the most common expression lines, including crow’s feet, forehead, and frown lines. If your anti-aging products are not helping you look and feel as young as you would like, it may be the right time to add one of these injectables to your treatment plan and target aging at its source.

Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin, Dysport, Daxxify FAQs
What neuromodulator options are offered at Revive RX Med Spa, and how do they work?
At Revive RX Med Spa, we offer an array of FDA-approved neuromodulators—including BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, Dysport®, and Daxxify®—each designed to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for expression lines. These treatments interrupt the nerve signals that cause repetitive muscle contractions, smoothing dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown marks. Each neuromodulator has its formulation, onset timeline, and duration, allowing us to tailor the choice based on your facial anatomy, goals, and preferred treatment schedule. These injections help produce a refreshed, natural look with no surgery needed.
Who is an ideal candidate for these injectable treatments?
The best candidates are adults seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation by softening expression lines. Candidates should be in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and benefit from treatments that don’t require downtime or recovery. Neuromodulators are also appropriate for preventive use in younger adults to slow the development of dynamic wrinkles. During your consultation, we’ll review your skin condition, expression patterns, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine which product is the ideal match for you.
What is the appointment experience like, and is it painful?
Treatments begin with a thorough facial assessment to identify muscle activity and target areas. Small doses of customized neuromodulator are injected using fine-gauge needles; most patients feel only a quick pinch or mild pressure. Topical numbing is available if desired. The procedure is fast—typically under 20 minutes—and there’s no structural downtime. Afterward, some clients may notice mild redness or tenderness at injection sites, but this resolves quickly. You can resume normal activities immediately.
How soon will I see results, and how long will they last?
Onset and duration depend on the specific neuromodulator you receive: Dysport® and Jeuveau® often take effect within two to four days, with results lasting three to four months. BOTOX® and Xeomin® typically show visible results within five to seven days, lasting around three to six months. Daxxify®, a newer, longer-acting option, can deliver noticeable smoothing up to six to nine months after injection. Individual response varies, and follow-up appointments help maintain desired effects.
Are there any side effects or safety concerns?
Neuromodulator injections are generally safe when administered by a licensed provider like Kathleen Stegman-Smith. Mild side effects may include temporary bruising, redness, swelling, or mild headache at injection sites. Serious complications are rare. We screen for medical contraindications such as neuromuscular conditions or pregnancy. We follow strict dosage and dilution protocols and use hygienic injection techniques to minimize risks and ensure comfort and safety throughout the process.
Can neuromodulators be combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments?
Absolutely. Many clients combine neuromodulator treatments with complementary procedures such as dermal fillers, microneedling, chemical peels, PRP facials, or laser skin resurfacing to address fine lines, volume loss, texture, or pigmentation alongside muscle-based wrinkles. We offer personalized treatment packages that address multiple aspects of facial aging, allowing you to customize your plan. Combining modalities can deliver more comprehensive, longer-lasting aesthetic outcomes.
How do I begin with neuromodulator treatments at Revive RX Med Spa?
The process starts with a complimentary or modest-fee consultation, during which we discuss your facial anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals. Once your provider recommends a specific neuromodulator product and dosage plan, your first treatment is scheduled. You’ll receive full pre- and post-treatment instructions, including activity guidelines and when to plan follow-up maintenance injections.

DAXXIFY® - Mechanism of Action
In a crowded market of neurotoxins, are all formulations the same?
Not all one formulation stands apart. DAXXIFY® the first innovation in neurotoxins in over 20 years. DAXXIFY® is the only FDA approved frown line treatment powered by a peptide. This groundbreaking peptide formulation allows more of the active ingredient to bind to the neuron, delivering a fast long lasting look. And DAXXIFY® is the only neurotoxin that doesn’t have human or animal components. Here’s how it works Every day, neurons in the face signal muscles to contract causing frown lines and wrinkles. DAXXIFY® unique formulation contains a positively charged peptide that forms a powerful magnet like bond with the neuron.
That means more of the active ingredient attaches and is available over time. Unlike DAXXIFY®, traditional neurotoxins don’t include this uniquely designed peptide, which means it’s easier for the toxin to be flushed out by the body’s natural processes. DAXXIFY® peptide formulation makes it the only neurotoxin of its kind. Patients see visible results as early as the next day, and typically within two days. DAXXIFY® smooths even the deepest brown lines, improves the appearance of skin texture, and delivers long-lasting results that gradually soften over time with results that work fast, last long, and give you the look you want. 94% of patients preferred dify over their previous treatments within two weeks. Dare to discover the power of the peptide. Ask your provider about it today and discover the DAXXIFY® difference for yourself.
