About This Treatment

What Are Neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators are purified proteins that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. Botox and Xeomin both work by blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother. The key difference between them is their formulation - Xeomin is a "naked" molecule without additives, which may reduce the risk of antibody formation. Our team selects the ideal product based on your anatomy, treatment goals, and how your body responds.

The Process

How Does It Work?

Consultation

Our team assesses your facial anatomy, discusses your concerns and goals, and creates a personalized treatment plan. No pressure - just expert guidance.

Preparation

The treatment area is cleansed. Most patients find the injections very tolerable.

Treatment

Using ultra-fine needles, precise amounts of neuromodulator are injected into targeted muscles. The entire process takes 10-15 minutes.

Immediate Aftercare

You can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the treated area and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. A follow-up appointment is complimentary if you have any concerns with your results.

Results Appear

You'll begin to see results within 7-8 days, with full effects visible at 10-14 days. Results typically last 3-4 months.

Maintenance

Regular treatments every 3-4 months help maintain smooth skin. Over time, muscles may require less product as they learn to relax.
