Neuromodulator Injections
What are
neuromodulator injections?
Neuromodulator injections work by temporarily reducing activity in targeted facial muscles. This may help soften the appearance of expression lines, such as those that appear with frowning. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed.
The injection portion of the appointment is typically brief. Many patients describe the procedure as quick and generally well tolerated, and anesthetic is not always required. The full effect is usually noticeable within 7-14 days following treatment.
After treatment, you’ll be provided with aftercare instructions, including guidance on activity and care of the treated areas.
