Neuromodulators
What are Neuromodulators?
Visible facial lines and wrinkles can be an unwelcome reminder of aging, affecting your confidence and how you feel about your appearance.
Fortunately, neuromodulators like Botox and Xeomin offer effective solutions to smooth out these signs of aging and restore a youthful, refreshed look.
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. They work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting and thereby softening the wrinkles formed by repetitive facial expressions.
Common Treatment Areas
- Crow's Feet
- Frown Lines
- Laugh Lines
- Forehead Wrinkles
- Bunny Lines
Popular Types of Neuromodulators
Botox
Xeomin
Similar to Botox, Xeomin also uses botulinum toxin to achieve its effects but is considered a naked version because it does not contain accessory proteins. This purified form of the toxin reduces the risk of developing antibodies that could decrease its effectiveness over time.
Advantages of Neuromodulators
- Quick and Effective Results. Neuromodulators provide visible improvements within a few days of treatment, with full results typically seen within one to two weeks. The quick onset of action makes it a convenient option for those seeking fast results.
- Minimally Invasive. The treatment involves a few small injections with minimal discomfort and no need for anesthesia. This makes it an appealing option for those looking to avoid the risks and recovery time associated with surgical procedures.
- Customizable Treatments. Neuromodulators can be tailored to address specific areas of concern, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. This allows for a personalized approach that targets your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
- Temporary Effects. The effects of neuromodulators typically last three to six months, which means that if you are not satisfied with the results, they will gradually wear off. This temporary nature also allows for adjustments and refinements in future treatments.
What to Expect During Treatment
During a neuromodulator treatment session, our provider will begin by discussing your aesthetic goals and assessing your facial structure. The targeted areas will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort.
Using a fine needle, the neuromodulator is then carefully injected into the specific muscles causing wrinkles. The procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
You may experience minor redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
Aftercare Tips
- Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours after your injection. This helps prevent the neuromodulator from spreading to unintended areas.
- Try to remain upright for at least four hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of the product migrating. Avoid lying down or bending over during this time.
- For the first 24 hours, avoid vigorous exercise and activities that might cause excessive sweating. This reduces the risk of swelling and helps the treatment settle effectively.
- Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by our experts. They know best how to care for your skin post-treatment and ensure you achieve the best results.
Who are the Ideal Candidates?
Ideal candidates for neuromodulator treatments are individuals who are looking to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. These treatments are suitable for adults in good overall health, with realistic expectations about the results.
Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions should consult with their provider to determine if neuromodulators are a safe option for them.
