Before And After Neuromodulator Treatments
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the side effects of neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators may result in minor, temporary side effects like subtle bruising or swelling at the injection sites or mild headaches. Eyelid drooping or facial asymmetry are possible side effects but exceedingly rare when administered by an expert injector. Allergic reactions, while extremely rare, are possible, and thought to be secondary to preservatives in the solution rather than the botulinum toxin itself. A qualified professional, like those at Gold Dermatology, can minimize these risks. Be sure to share any medical concerns before treatment, and if you experience severe side effects, consult your provider or a medical professional.
Is the injection process painful?
Neuromodulator injections typically aren’t considered painful but can cause minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch. Dr. Gold and her team use the highest quality and smallest needles available, so while individual pain tolerance varies, most clients find the procedure virtually painless. Topical numbing cream and ice can be applied before treatment to help reduce any potential discomfort at the patient's request.
Can I combine neuromodulator treatments with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes! Neuromodulator treatments are often combined with other cosmetic procedures like dermal fillers or laser treatments for enhanced results. Discuss any additional treatments you are interested in during your consultation for more information about the best combination of treatments to achieve your desired results.
Who is a good candidate for neuromodulator treatments?
Neuromodulators are recommended for adults with dynamic wrinkles, i.e., lines that present with facial movements, or those seeking preventative measures. Deep-set lines that are present at rest may soften with neuromodulator treatment, but will likely need additional interventions for the best result. Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have neuromuscular conditions or active facial infections should not pursue this treatment. Discuss your health history during your consultation to ensure a safe and informed treatment plan.
How long do results from neuromodulator treatments last?
Neuromodulator treatments generally provide results that last three to four months, although some may last up to 6 months. Factors like metabolism, dosage, and which areas receive treatment all influence how long the results will last. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to prolong the desired aesthetic outcome.
