Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are a highly effective, FDA-approved treatment that reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful look. By targeting the underlying causes of wrinkles, neuromodulators prevent new wrinkles from forming, offering long-lasting results with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
About Neuromodulators
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are an FDA-approved treatment that has been used medically since the 1970s. Safe and highly effective, neurotoxin treatments like Botox® and Jeuveau® give the skin a smooth, renewed appearance that looks natural. These treatments require zero downtime and are quick to administer.
How Neuromodulators Work
Neuromodulators target the underlying causes of wrinkles and frown lines by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle movement. This action allows wrinkles to soften and prevents new wrinkles from forming, leading to a more youthful appearance.
What to Expect During Treatment
Before your treatment, you will consult with your provider to discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. Once you and your provider have discussed your treatment plan, the treatment is quick and can typically be completed with a few tiny injections in less than 30 minutes. Noticeable results are generally observed as soon as 3-7 days after treatment, with full results visible 14 days post-treatment.
What to Expect After TreatmenT
You may be advised by your provider to avoid strenuous exercise, lying down, or massaging the treated areas for a few hours after treatment. Common side effects include potential mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. Results typically last between 3 to 6 months. As muscle activity gradually returns, re-treatment is recommended to maintain the desired appearance.
Important Safety Considerations
When considering Jeuveau® or Botox® Cosmetic treatment, here are some safety considerations to keep in mind: Before treatment, you should consult with your provider for personalized advice and to discuss any concerns. Be sure to inform your provider about any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking, as certain factors can affect safety and results. After your treatment, be sure to follow any post-treatment instructions, to minimize risks and prevent complications.
