Neuromodulators

Wrinkle treatments

Wrinkle treatments with Neuromodulation and Xeomin are two of the most popular neuromodulators for wrinkle treatments. It injections are used not only for therapeutic purposes but for cosmetic ones too. Unlike fillers, which are superficially injected just beneath the skin, neuromodulator is injected directly into the muscle. Because Neuromodulation and Xeomin are made of a neurotoxin, they block signals between the muscle and the brain, ultimately preventing muscle contraction in a localized area. When the muscle relaxes, wrinkles smooth out and soften. Performed correctly, these injections only affect targeted muscles while still allowing for facial expression. It can be used for any type of wrinkle that has not been caused by sun damage or stretching of the skin due to gravity. Results are usually best on expression lines, such as those around the eyes and forehead.

What should I expect when getting Neuromodulators?

Neuromodulator injections are in-office procedures performed in just a few minutes. In fact, you can schedule a neuromodulator injection for your lunch hour or on your way home from work. Injections use a very fine needle, which is inserted into the facial muscles. There is very little discomfort during the injection, and no anesthesia is necessary.

Are there any special instructions I will need to follow after getting neuromodulators?

There is a minimal recovery period of approximately 48 hours after getting Neuromodulation. During this time, you may experience bruising or headaches. Avoid rubbing your face in areas treated with neuromodulator, and do not lie down for the first few hours after the injections. Keep in mind that results from Neuromodulation – though significant – usually begin to fade within 4 to 6 months. You’ll need to return for retreatment periodically.

What are the differences between Neuromodulation and Xeomin?

Neuromodulation and Xeomin are both popular cosmetic treatments designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly on the face. They work by temporarily relaxing the underlying facial muscles, which softens wrinkles. While both products are derived from botulinum toxin and are quite effective, there are some differences. Neuromodulation has been available longer and contains accessory proteins, while Xeomin is a purer form of botulinum toxin. This can result in a slightly quicker onset of action for Xeomin in some cases. Additionally, some individuals may prefer Xeomin due to its reduced risk of developing resistance to the treatment over time. Ultimately, the choice between Neuromodulation and Xeomin should be based on individual preferences and the recommendation of a qualified healthcare provider.
