Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are mixed into a liquid solution and injected in very small amounts into specific select facial muscles, weakening the target muscle, typically lasting for several months.

Neuromodulators

Overview


How do neuromodulators work? The weakening effect of neuromodulator injection reduces the facial muscles’ ability to animate in that area and temporarily reduces or eliminates skin wrinkles or folds at the injection site. 

The Main Benefits of a Neuromodulator Treatment:

  • Soften/eliminate facial lines and facial wrinkles around the neck, eyes, and mouth (frown lines).
  • Soften furrowed brow (that angry look).
  • Elevate brow.

What To Expect


Neuromodulator treatments such as Botox, Xeomin, Jeauveu and Dysport may take several days to have the full effect, however, once the effect of the injection kicks in, it typically can last 3+ months before the nerve impulses and muscle movement completely returns. At that point the cosmetic injectable treatments may be repeated as desired by the patient. 

After receiving neuromodulator injections, incorporating specialized, complementary products to your skin care routine is key to enhancing the effects of such cosmetic procedures. Formulated with TriHex Technology®, INhance Post-Injection Serum is designed to work with injectables and dermal fillers to help accelerate recovery from post-treatment bruising, as well as improve the appearance of skin quality and texture by supporting the skin's natural production of elastin and collagen. INhance also pairs well with Restorative Skin Complex with TriHex Technology® to help with fine lines.
