Aging can be challenging to navigate, but you don’t need to feel helpless. If you’re struggling to find anti-aging treatments that work for you, neuromodulator treatments might be the answer. Neuromodulator treatments encompass fillers and other methods for reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
At Bayside Medspa in Norfolk, VA, we offer neuromodulator injections (Botox and Xeomin) that can help you look and feel more fresh-faced. Botox and Xeomin combat the signs of aging with their anti-aging properties that work on wrinkles, fine lines, crows feet, forehead creases, and overall skin texture. Whether you are looking for a little touch-up or want to turn back the hands of time for younger-looking skin, neuromodulators may provide the solution.
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are a type of protein-based injection that blocks signals between muscles and nerves. By doing this, neuromodulators can help relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and lines on your face.
What Are the Different Types of Neuromodulators?
The most common brand names for these injectables are Botox and Xeomin. Though similar in specific ways, they also have some distinct differences.
Botox
Botox continues to be highly sought after for its ability to help you look your best, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and restore a more youthful visage. It has been used safely and effectively by medical professionals globally since its introduction over two decades ago. Utilizing concentrations of potent neurotoxins, Botox can paralyze underlying facial muscles to minimize the deep wrinkles that come with aging or are caused by habitual facial expressions.
What sets it apart from other procedures is that Botox injections can achieve precision without hindering your natural facial movements or affecting nearby areas of the face. The results are subtle yet significant, restoring confidence and leaving you feeling refreshed with younger-looking skin.
Xeomin
For those looking to reduce the appearance of frown lines between their brows, Xeomin is an effective solution. People with deep frown lines can appear angry, tired, and unapproachable, but injections with Xeomin can help bring back a youthful look as well as make a better first impression. Those who value an exceptionally pure formula opt to use Xeomin because it is known for its highly refined ingredients that are free of extra proteins.
Generally, results appear in the first five to six days after treatment and last three to four months on average; however, those wishing to sustain their results should plan on consistent follow-up treatments.
What Are the Benefits of Neuromodulators?
The main benefit of using neuromodulators such as Botox or Xeomin is that they can help reduce wrinkles on your face caused by facial expressions such as smiling or frowning. In particular, Botox injections can also treat chronic migraine headaches, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and even some neck pain disorders caused by muscle spasms or tension in the neck area. In short, neuromodulators offer many potential benefits for improving their appearance or managing certain medical conditions.
What Can I Anticipate from Neuromodulator Treatments?
Consultation
Our treatment protocol starts with a thorough consultation to assess your desired areas, understand any questions you have about Botox or Xeomin, and review your medical background. This helps us determine if certain medications, skin problems, or allergies prevent you from being suitable for the procedure. Pregnant and nursing women cannot be considered safe candidates, so we exclude them accordingly during our evaluation period where appropriate. Ultimately it is determined whether neuromodulators are an option for you and which would work best by the end of the session.
Treatment
Once we have tailored your individualized treatment plan, we will make an appointment. To ensure a smooth process and maximum comfort during the visit, please arrive at our facility with cleansed skin free of cosmetics or products.
Before beginning injections with ultra-fine needles that administer precisely calculated units of Botox or Xeomin just beneath the surface level, cleansing may occur for preventive measures, and an optional numbing solution being applied before treatments start. The time it takes can vary from 10 minutes to half an hour, allowing you to continue with normal daily activities afterward without interruption in no time!
Aftercare
Today’s neuromodulator injections, such as Botox and Xeomin, offer an effective and convenient solution to the signs of aging. With these treatments, you don’t have to worry about any significant downtime afterward. We are dedicated to providing personalized care and advice, ensuring you experience the best outcomes possible from your neuromodulator injectable treatment.
To support your results and for optimal safety precautions, we may ask you to reduce activities like exercise and alcohol consumption for 24 hours and avoid any situations or environments where your body temperature is likely to become elevated.
