If you are troubled by lines and wrinkles or the appearance of jowls, non-surgical Neuromodulator injections can provide you with a more youthful look.
Dr. Ledding is an injector with an eye for aesthetics and detail. He has used injectable products with great success. Every patient is unique, however, so he will spend time with you during your initial consultation and examination to discuss your options and his recommendations for achieving the results you want.
What is the Difference Between Neuromodulator Injections?
Neuromodulator Injections are sometimes chosen as an anti-aging treatment. A purified protein that inhibits the muscle activity that causes certain types of wrinkles is used. It is primarily applied to frown lines (the “11” lines between the eyebrows), crow’s feet, and some fine lines around the mouth.
Neuromodulator Injections are also used for wrinkles caused by loss of volume. As we age, the youthful “plump” appearance of the skin begins to diminish. This causes wrinkles such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Neuromodulator Injections can help restore the plump appearance by injecting biocompatible volumizers into the skin. There are several different products, and each works in a different way.
Neuromodulator Injections can also provide an almost non-surgical facelift by providing volume around the cheeks or jowls, and they can be used to augment the lips non-surgically, making them appear fuller.
Who is a Good Candidate for Neuromodulator Injections?
Most people with signs of aging are good candidates for Neuromodulator Injections. However, if you have significant signs of aging, a facelift may be necessary to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Ledding will advise whether Neuromodulator Injections will improve your specific issues. These products can also be combined with surgeries to achieve complementary results.
If you are an adult patient of any age who wishes to have fuller lips, you may be a good candidate for Neuromodulator Injections.
Are Neuromodulator Injection treatments an Outpatient Procedure?
Yes, Neuromodulator Injections are non-invasive and done on an outpatient basis without the need for incisions or downtime.
What Happens During a Neuromodulator Injections Treatment?
Injections are done by using a very fine needle, and the treatment takes only a few minutes. We can apply a topical anesthetic before the injections, which requires approximately 20 minutes to take effect.
The fillers also contain Lidocaine in their formula for an additional numbing effect. Most patients say that the needle is easily tolerated.
Dr. Ledding determines the best locations for your injections, as well as the proper dosage so that the results are natural-looking.
What Happens Immediately After My Neuromodulator Injection Treatment?
We might apply ice to the injection sites for a few minutes, but you can leave immediately after receiving Neuromodulator Injections.
When Can I Return to Work After Neuromodulator Injections?
You can return to work immediately after your injections.
Are Neuromodulator Injection Results Visible Immediately?
Sometimes it can take a few days to weeks before seeing the final results. Neuromodulator Injections can continue to show improvement over time, as they stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen.
Are Neuromodulator Injections Permanent?
Neuromodulator Injections provide temporary improvement. Some can last approximately four months, while others can vary depending on the type of product, although some can last as long as two years.
What Post-Treatment Symptoms Can I Expect After Neuromodulator Injections?
Some patients experience minor bruising and swelling at the injection sites for a few days. These effects can be covered with makeup, if necessary.
A few Neuromodulator Injection products cause temporary lumps at the injection sites. These will go away on their own, although we might instruct you to massage them to help disperse the filler formula.
Are There Scars After Neuromodulator Injections?
There are no scars after Neuromodulator Injections.
