What are neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators like Botox and Xeomin are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and fine lines. They work by blocking nerve signals to these muscles, reducing their activity while maintaining a natural look.

How do neuromodulators work?

Neuromodulators contain botulinum toxin, a purified protein that blocks nerve signals to specific muscles. This relaxation of the muscles reduces their contraction, which is responsible for dynamic wrinkles (those formed by repeated facial expressions, such as frowning or squinting). The skin above these muscles smooths out, resulting in a refreshed, youthful appearance.

What are the benefits of neuromodulators?

Benefits of neuromodulator injections include:

• FDA-approved and clinically tested treatment

• Effectively and consistently reduces fine lines and prevents wrinkles

• Quick and minimally invasive treatment with no downtime

• Results last 3–6 months with consistent effects

• Trusted for over two decades in cosmetic medicine

What can I expect during & after a neuromodulator treatment?

The procedure takes about 10–30 minutes, depending on the area treated. Your provider will use a fine needle to administer the neuromodulator with minimal discomfort. Results begin to appear within 5–7 days and reach their peak at 2 weeks.

After getting Botox injections, you can generally return to your normal activities right away, but you should take some precautions to help with the healing process:

• Avoid putting pressure on the treated area: For 12 hours, don't rub, massage, or lean on the area. You should also be careful about your sleeping position and avoid resting your face on your hands.

• Stay upright: Avoid lying down for 3–4 hours after treatment.

• Avoid strenuous activity: Don't do any physical exertion for 24 hours.

• Protect from heat: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, tanning, and excessive heat or sun exposure for 4 hours.

• Use ice: You can use an ice pack or cool compress to help with swelling, redness, and soreness.

• Avoid certain substances: Avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and some herbal supplements, which can cause bruising.

• Be patient: It can take several days to a week for the results to appear.

• Schedule a follow-up: Follow any additional instructions from your healthcare provider and schedule a follow-up appointment. swelling or redness may occur.
