Softer lines,
natural expression.
Neuromodulators — including Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), and Xeomin — are injectable proteins that temporarily relax overactive facial muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines. They are the most popular aesthetic treatment in the world — and when done well, completely undetectable.
At Oak Skin in Burnaby, we approach neuromodulators with precision and restraint. Our goal is never to freeze your face — it's to soften the lines that make you look tired, stressed, or older than you feel, while keeping every expression natural and genuine.
Results typically appear within 3–7 days and last 3–4 months. Regular maintenance often produces longer-lasting results as the targeted muscles gradually weaken.
WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?
TREATMENT AREAS
Where neuromodulators make the difference
FOREHEAD LINES
Horizontal lines across the forehead that appear when raising the brows — softened while preserving natural brow movement.
FROWN LINE (11S)
Vertical lines between the brows that create a tired or stern appearance — one of the most impactful and commonly treated areas.
CROW’S FEET
Expression lines at the outer corners of the eyes — softened to create a more rested, refreshed appearance without removing all movement.
BROW LIFT & JAWLINE
Strategic placement can create a subtle brow lift, soften a square jaw (masseter), and reduce chin dimpling and neck bands.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Neuromodulator FAQ
What's the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both are botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators that work the same way. Dysport tends to spread slightly more, making it suitable for larger areas like the forehead. We'll recommend the best option for your anatomy and goals.
Will I look frozen or unnatural?
Not at Oak Skin. Our philosophy is natural, restrained results — we will never over-inject or compromise your ability to express yourself.
How long do neuromodulators last?
Results typically last 3–4 months for most clients. With regular maintenance, many clients find their results last longer as targeted muscles gradually weaken with consistent treatment.
When should I start getting Botox?
There's no universal answer — some patients start in their late 20s for prevention, others in their 40s or 50s for correction. The best time is when you notice lines that bother you, and early treatment is always more effective than waiting.
