Neuromodulators are popular injectable treatments that smooth fine lines and dynamic wrinkles by relaxing targeted facial muscles. These quick procedures offer minimal downtime and natural-looking results. Additionally, neuromodulators can be used therapeutically for conditions such as migraines and excessive sweating.

What To Expect

Chin dimpling: Smooths out an overly dimpled or “cobblestone” chin appearance.
Jawline and neck bands: Relaxes the platysma muscle to soften vertical neck bands and define the jawline.

Results typically appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible in 1-2 weeks. Neuromodulators deliver smoother, younger-looking skin, and results generally last 3-4 months. Regular treatments maintain the effect and prevent new wrinkles from forming.
Neuromodulators temporarily block nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, allowing the muscles to relax. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles resulting from frown lines and crow’s feet caused by facial expressions.
Neuromodulator injections are relatively painless, with most patients describing the sensation as a slight pinch. You can make the procedure more comfortable by applying a topical numbing cream before it begins.
A typical session lasts 10-15 minutes, making it a convenient “lunchtime” procedure.
