Treatment Overview

Neuromodulators, including popular brands like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, are safe, FDA-approved injectables that relax overactive muscles causing wrinkles. They use botulinum toxin to block nerve signals, preventing muscle contractions in areas like crow's feet, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead, making them an effective way to smooth fine lines. These quick, non-surgical procedures are also beneficial for medical issues such as chronic migraines and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). At Viva Medspa & Wellness, neuromodulator treatments are tailored to each patient for natural-looking, comfortable results. Neuromodulators, suitable for both men and women, help reduce dynamic wrinkles without surgery. They're ideal for patients in their late 20s or older who wish to minimize wrinkle appearance or prevent new wrinkles from forming.

What To Expect

Before Treatment

Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment to minimize the risk of bruising. Your provider will evaluate your cosmetic goals and medical history during your consultation to determine the best neuromodulator treatment.

During Treatment

The procedure typically lasts 10-15 minutes. Small injections are made into targeted facial muscles with minimal discomfort, and no anesthesia is needed.

After Treatment

You can return to regular activities immediately. However, avoid rubbing the treated area, strenuous exercise, and heat exposure for 24 hours. Minor swelling or redness may occur but should subside quickly. Most patients begin to see results within 3-5 days, with full effects visible in 1-2 weeks.

Maintenance

Most patients start with an initial session followed by maintenance treatments every three to four months for optimal results. Over time, the frequency of treatments may decrease as muscles adapt to reduced movement. Regular maintenance sessions help sustain a smooth, youthful appearance by preventing wrinkles from reappearing and ensuring long-term results.
