Neuromodulator Injection
What is a Neuromodulator Injection?
Neuromodulator injections are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The most commonly used neuromodulators are botulinum toxin injections, often referred to by brand names like Botox or Dysport. These injections work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax and soften the appearance of wrinkles.
They are primarily used to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are lines that form due to facial muscle movement, such as frown lines, forehead lines,
How is a Neuromodulator Injection performed?
Neuromodulator injections are a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a doctor's office. The treatment area is cleansed, and a small needle is used to inject the neuromodulator into specific muscles. The procedure is relatively quick, with minimal discomfort.
Who is a candidate for this procedure?
Ideal candidates for neuromodulator injections are individuals with moderate to severe facial wrinkles who desire a non-surgical approach to wrinkle reduction. They should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. Patients with certain neurological conditions or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid neuromodulator injections.
How long is the procedure?
The duration of a neuromodulator injection procedure typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes.
What is the recovery like?
