When injected, neuromodulators (or also known as neurotoxins) temporarily intercept the connection between nerve and muscle. As a result, the skin that overlays the muscle is prevented from creasing. With consistent treatments, treated muscles can also dwindle in size and force, leading to a slimmed, tightened appearance.

    1-3 days before treatment: Limit excessive alcohol intake, the use of topical retinoids or vitamin A derivatives (to minimize skin irritation).

    Avoid wearing hats, caps, or headbands
    Avoid extended UV exposure
    For pain, you may take Tylenol or use ice packs

  • We carry three different neuromodulator brands. All FDA-approved neurotoxins are derived from a bacteria, Clostridium Botulinum, type A. Determining the right brand for you will be based on your prior history and response to neuromodulators, the dosing required, as well as your personal preference. Further information can be provided during the consultation.

  • Although no treatment is completely pain-free, we do ensure that our products are mixed (or reconstituted) with a specific diluent that mitigates pain when injecting. Some areas may be more sensitive than others, including the crow’s feet and the lip area. However, no anesthetic will be needed during the procedure.

  • Minor bruising, bleeding, discomfort, soreness, and mild pain are commonly expected with injections.
    Rare and infrequent side effects can occur, and these will be discussed at the time of appointment.
