Neuromodulators in Chicago, IL
What are neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that help relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The most common neuromodulators are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. These treatments are popular for smoothing out crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows.
How do neuromodulators work?
Neuromodulators work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles where they are injected. This temporary relaxation of the muscles prevents them from contracting and forming wrinkles—the effects usually last for three to six months, after which the treatment can be repeated.
What can I expect during a neuromodulator treatment?
The treatment process is quick and straightforward. After your consultation with a trained professional at BRB Aesthetics Central, the area to be treated is first cleaned. The neuromodulator is then injected using a fine needle. The procedure usually takes about 10-15 minutes and involves minimal discomfort.
Are there any side effects of neuromodulators?
Common side effects include mild bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days. More serious side effects are rare but can include drooping eyelids or eyebrows if the neuromodulator spreads to unintended areas.
