Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are the most effective anti-wrinkle treatment on the market. The treatment is used to prevent new lines from forming and to soften existing ones, giving the face a more “refreshed” appearance. Neuromodulators are intended to enhance your look, not change it – you can still smile, frown, and be expressive!

Get The Facts

Neuromodulators (aka BOTOX®, DYSPORT®, NUCEIVA®, etc.) are purified proteins that are injected into the facial muscles that cause wrinkles. Their action temporarily reduces the repetitive muscle movement that causes frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines, crow’s feet, and some lines around the mouth. Results can occur within a few days of treatment, but it takes 2 weeks post-injection to see the full effect. Consistent treatment is recommended every 3-4 months to maintain optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How long do Neuromodulators last?

Neuromodulator treatment usually lasts between 3-6 months. Some factors that influence duration of treatment include the client’s metabolism, dosage used, and consistency of treatments.

+ Do Neuromodulators “freeze” your face?

No. Every treatment is performed with the client goal in mind and it’s not a “one size fits all” treatment. Your provider will adjust dosing and injection placement to meet your cosmetic goals, while still keeping you true to yourself.

+ Is treatment painful?

Most clients describe the injections as a quick, small pinch and that it wasn’t as bad as they were expecting. Some clients have even mentioned that the treatment is relaxing!

+ Will wrinkles worsen if Neuromodulators are discontinued?

No. Your skin & muscles will revert back to their normal aging process if treatment is discontinued. Over time, with consistent neuromodulator treatment, your skin and muscled should appear softened from less muscle movement.

+ Can you get a top up whenever you want?

No – if you receive Neuromodulators too frequently, your body can build a tolerance to it, which increases the risk of the treatment not working anymore. If needed, we add a touch up at 2 weeks, and then another full treatment in 3-4 months.

+ When should I start getting Neuromodulators?

While any time is a great time to start treatment, we recommend starting earlier in the late 20s-30s as a preventative measure so those deep lines don’t even get a chance to form.
