ABOUT Neuromodulator “TOX”

Our Neuromodulator “TOX” is designed to effortlessly restore a smooth, youthful appearance by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Utilizing advanced neuromodulators, this non-invasive treatment targets the facial muscles responsible for expression lines, providing a refreshed, natural look with minimal downtime.

What it is

Neuromodulators, such as Botox®️, Dysport®️, or Xeomin®️, work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines due to repetitive movements. Common areas treated include the forehead, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows.

When injected into targeted muscles, the neuromodulator blocks the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract. By reducing muscle activity, the skin above the muscles smooths out, diminishing the appearance of existing wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming. The result is a more relaxed and youthful facial expression that looks natural, never frozen.

How it works

Consultation: Before your treatment, we will discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your facial anatomy, and determine the best areas for injection to achieve the desired results. This personalized approach ensures that your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs.

During the Treatment: The procedure is quick, typically taking about 15-30 minutes. Using a fine needle, the neuromodulator is carefully injected into the targeted muscles. Most clients experience only minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch. There’s no need for anesthesia, but a topical numbing cream can be applied if desired.

Post-Treatment: There’s minimal downtime with the Neuromodulator “TOX”. You might notice slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a few hours. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and lying down for a few hours post-treatment.

Results: The effects of the treatment begin to take shape within 3-7 days, with full results visible after about two weeks. You’ll notice smoother skin and a softer, more youthful appearance that can last up to 3-4 months. Regular treatments can help maintain and enhance your youthful look over time.

FAQs

  • It depends on several factors including: which area(s) you are trying to treat (11s, forehead, crow’s feet, etc), the strength of your facial muscles, and how deep your existing lines are. We recommend a complimentary consultation with our nurse injector to create a plan that is right for you.
