What are Neuromodulators/ "Botox" Treatments?
"Botox"or neuromodulator treatments are used to treat rhytides or wrinkles on the forehead, frown lines (the "11s"), the area around the eyes ("Crow's feet"), the sides of the nose ("Bunny Lines"), to treat dimpling on the chin ("Popcorn Chin"), or to relax the upper lip ("Lip Flip"). Neurotoxin can also be used to elongate and relax the neck and jawline- a.k.a " The Nefretiti Neck Lift". By placing neuromodulators in these areas to relax muscles, we create a more refreshed, smooth and relaxed appearance.

What can I expect as a result of my Neuromodulator/Botox treatment?
Aside from the expected treatment results for those targeted areas of pain control, sweat assist, smoothing, lifting, and refreshing, common side effects of neuromodulator treatments are small bee-sting-like reddened areas at the site from where the treatment is being placed (this will disappear approximately 10-20 minutes after treatment), there might be some minor bruising, and a few people may experience a headache.
After treatment it is recommended you remain upright for up to four hours, maintain low levels of activities for up to 48 hours and apply no pressure at the treatment areas, avoiding hot tubs and saunas, the sun too for 24 hours. It is also best to avoid blood thinning medications, herbal supplements and alcohol for 24 hours to minimize the risk of bruising.
Full effects of neuromodulator treatments can be felt within 2-5 days and expectations of the full effect in 14-21 days. Post treatment check in appointments are booked to asses effectiveness and satisfaction of treatment results.
