What are Neuromodulators?
Advantages of Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators offer several compelling benefits that make them a popular choice for those seeking to rejuvenate their appearance. Here’s why these treatments stand out:
- Quick and Noticeable Results. One of the major advantages of neuromodulators is the speed with which they work. Most patients see noticeable improvements within a few days, with full results developing over one to two weeks.
- Non-Invasive Procedure. Neuromodulator treatments are minimally invasive, involving only a few small injections with very fine needles. This means there is no need for anesthesia, incisions, or significant downtime.
- Customizable Treatment. Each treatment can be tailored to address specific areas of concern, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Our provider can adjust the dosage and placement of the injections to achieve natural-looking results that suit your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
- Temporary but Long-Lasting Effects. While the effects of neuromodulators are not permanent, they typically last three to six months. This allows for flexibility in your treatment plan and the ability to make adjustments as your needs change over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
During a neuromodulator treatment session, our provider will start by discussing your goals and assessing your facial muscles. The treatment areas will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Using a fine needle, the neuromodulator is then injected into the targeted muscles. The procedure usually takes about 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, often described as a brief pinching sensation.
Aftercare Tips
To maximize the benefits of your neuromodulator treatment and ensure optimal results, follow these 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.
Avoid lying down or bending over for about four hours post-treatment. This reduces the risk of the neuromodulator migrating and ensures it stays in the targeted muscles.
For the first 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise and activities that may cause excessive sweating. This precaution helps to minimize the risk of bruising and swelling.
Pay attention to any changes in your symptoms and communicate with our provider if you experience any unusual or persistent side effects. Regular follow-ups can help adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
