Anti-wrinkle injections & lip treatments
Wrinkles can greatly affect the way a person look. Most people, as we age, feel younger than we look. Improving the appearance of wrinkles can help us regain self-confidence and self-esteem by making us look as young as we feel. In addition to treating wrinkles, our team also performs neuromodulator injections to noninvasively improve a gummy smile and create a beautiful lip flip for those who desire.
Neuromodulators
Botulinum toxin type A is a neuromodulator that can temporarily reduce muscle activity and stop the muscles from contracting. When injected properly into the targeted muscles in small doses, these neuromodulators will cause the muscles to relax, resulting in the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles. The different botulinum toxins used in aesthetics include Botox, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Xeomin. Botox is the first botulinum toxin A on the market. Jeuveau (aka Newtox) is the latest FDA-approved botulinum toxin A that has great efficacy. These treatments are popular nowadays also among young people as a preventative measure to slow down signs of aging and avoid permanent deep wrinkles. Neuromodulator treatments have become quite popular with men as well!
Treatments using neuromodulators
How long does it take to work and how long does it last?
Results vary from person to person. Results often become noticeable within 24-48 hrs and typically take 14 days for full effect. Results can last between 3-6 months.
Will it hurt?
Most people find the procedure to be quick and easy with minimal discomfort. For those who are more sensitive, ice can be applied to numb the treatment area prior to injection. We also use a distraction device, if needed, to help reduce discomfort.
What is the recovery time after treatment? Post-care?
There is minimal downtime. Generally you can return to daily routine immediately after treatment.
Avoid lying down for 4 hours.
Do not rub or manipulate treated area for 4 hours.
Avoid activities that include heavy lifting and vigorous exercise or straining for 24 hours.
Avoid irritating skin products for 24 hours.
Possible side effects
Possible side effects include pain, bruising, swelling, redness, or numbness at the injection site, temporary headache, nausea, or eyelid droop, flu syndrome, or no improvement in appearance. Most side effects are short in duration.
