Neuro-
modulators
Customized treatment plans that will address your exact needs.
Aging is a natural part of life, but it often brings the appearance of frown lines and crow’s feet from repeated facial expressions like laughing, squinting, and frowning. However, these lines don’t have to impact your appearance. Neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport can effectively smooth out these lines, helping you maintain a youthful look.
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are substances that influence nerve activity by modulating the signals that nerves send to muscles. In the context of cosmetic treatments, neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport are injectable treatments that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for creating wrinkles and fine lines. When injected into specific facial muscles, neuromodulators reduce muscle activity, leading to a smoother and more relaxed appearance of the skin. This can effectively minimize the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, and other expression-related wrinkles. The effects of these treatments are temporary, typically lasting three to six months, after which the procedure can be repeated to maintain results.
Your appointment will typically start with a consultation with Dr. Sohal to discuss your concerns. She will then develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, including which areas will be treated and how many units of neuromodulator (Botox or Dysport) will be required. We will clean the treatment areas to prevent infection. Ice may be applied to minimize discomfort. Using a fine needle, Dr. Sohal will inject small amounts of the neuromodulator into the targeted muscles. The number of injections will vary depending on the treatment area and the extent of your concerns. The entire process usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Most patients experience only minor discomfort, often described as a slight pinching or stinging sensation.
You can usually resume normal activities right away. However, you’ll be advised to not lie down flat for the first two hours. Dr. Sohal also recommends avoiding strenuous exercise or rubbing the treated areas for the first 24 hours. Initial results may start to appear within a few days, with full effects visible within two weeks. Your skin will look smoother and the treated areas will show fewer wrinkles and fine lines.
The effects of both neuromodulators typically last three to six months. Regular follow-up appointments are necessary to maintain the desired results.
