Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth out wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. These treatments are minimally invasive, and require no downtime—making them a convenient solution for anyone looking to rejuvenate their appearance.

Neuromodulators work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, which prevents the muscles from contracting. This results in a smoother, more relaxed appearance of the skin, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The effects typically last for 3-4 months, after which the muscles gradually regain their ability to move, and the lines may begin to return.

Your Visit at a Glance

Your appointment begins with a warm welcome and a few important steps to ensure your comfort and safety. You'll be asked to sign a treatment consent form and have before photos taken for internal use only — this helps us monitor your progress and outcomes with precision.

If it’s your first time or you’re trying something new, your provider will begin with a consultation to understand your aesthetic goals. Together, you’ll decide on the ideal placement and dosage of the neuromodulator (such as Botox® or Dysport®) based on muscle movement, facial symmetry, and your desired result.

You can expect visible softening of fine lines and muscle activity within 3–5 days, with full results developing in 10–14 days. Results typically last 3–4 months depending on the area treated and your individual metabolism.

The treatment itself is quick and minimally invasive. Using an ultra-fine needle, small amounts of neuromodulator are injected into targeted muscles. Most clients describe the feeling as a light pinch or pressure that resolves quickly. Numbing is typically not required, though it is available if you’re sensitive.

Expect to be in clinic for approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on whether you’re having a full consultation or a touch-up.

There is no required downtime, and you can resume most daily activities right away. However, we advise avoiding strenuous exercise, laying flat, or applying pressure to the treated area for 4–6 hours. Minor redness or pinpoint swelling may occur and typically fades within a few hours.
