What are neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are wrinkle-relaxing injections. Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau are common neuromodulators. This safe and effective treatment relaxes the facial muscles responsible for frown, smile, and laugh lines. The neuromodulators reduce the unwelcome signs of aging and smooth your skin to help you look younger without surgery or downtime. Neuromodulators can also help reduce excessive underarm sweating. It’s safe for all skin types and tones.

- Reduced lines and wrinkles
- Diminished forehead lines

Are neuromodulators right for me?
To find out if you’re a candidate for treatment with neuromodulators, the MiraMe Health team reviews your medical history and examines the areas of your face and body that you’re concerned about. They discuss your desired results and beauty goals before tailoring a treatment plan just for you. Specialists often combine neuromodulators with dermal fillers to perfect your results.
What happens during neuromodulator injections?
During cosmetic injections at MiraMe Health, you relax in a comfortable, reclining chair. Your provider first numbs the treatment area if you’d like. They gently inject into specific areas beneath your skin. Each injection takes just a minute or two, making neuromodulators and fillers an excellent lunchtime treatment.
What should I expect after the procedure?
Since there’s no downtime after neuromodulator injections, you can immediately resume your day. You might notice some swelling or redness at the injection sites, but these side effects don’t last very long. Ice the treatment area if you’d like to reduce swelling. Avoid touching your face, especially the treated areas, after the injections. Results with neuromodulators usually appear after less than a week and last 3-5 months. Repeat injections help you maintain the anti-aging results long-term. Specialists at MiraMe Health can combine neuromodulator with other treatments to give you the exceptional results you’re looking for.

Treatment
During your initial consultation, we will review your medical history and discuss your desired results and expectations to determine which is the most effective treatment option for you.
The procedure itself is short and can be done within 10-15 minutes without anesthesia. During the procedure, the patient is injected with very small amounts of purified botulinum toxin into targeted muscles. This quick treatment allows patients to return to most daily activities immediately. We recommend you wait a minimum of 2 hours before engaging in any strenuous physical activity such as working out, heavy lifting, or any activities that might raise your heart rate.
Following treatment, you may experience mild soreness and bruising. It is important not to touch the treated area for at least 24 hours. Other side effects include swelling, redness, soreness, and weakness in surrounding muscles. A small percentage of patients may develop muscle drooping, but this often happens due to the treated area being touched or put under stress within 12 hours of treatment.
Results
It may take several days once swelling or bruising subsides to notice results. Though treatment is not permanent, the full results should be expected within a few weeks with results lasting 3-6 months. Muscle action will gradually return and need to be treated again. The appearance of lines and creases generally return less severe with subsequent treatments often producing more lasting results than the patient might have experienced previously.
We want our patients to look natural, which is why we only inject small amounts of the toxin. This enables us to control the effect just enough to weaken and relax the targeted muscles without affecting other areas, allowing you to maintain your natural facial expressions.
