WHAT CAUSES WRINKLES

Wrinkles are lines, creases, and furrows in the skin. They develop as part of the aging process. Your skin becomes thinner, drier, and structural proteins like collagen and elastin slowly diminish and are slower to renew and repair themselves. Your genetics and sun exposure can further contribute to an aged appearance and make these signs of aging impossible to conceal. Fortunately, the service of Neuromodulators offered at L Medical Aesthetics allows patients to take years off of their appearance with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

THE SCIENCE

Neuromodulators are wrinkle-relaxing injections of botulinum toxin – known as Botox Cosmetic, Xeomin, or Jeuveau – they are used to treat wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. When our faces animate with expressions, such as frowning, surprise, and smiles, we develop forehead lines, deep furrows- “elevens”(in between the brows), crow’s feet, and “bunny lines” (the vertical lines across the bridge of the nose). To combat this, a minute amount of the neuromodulator is injected directly into the underlying muscles, all of which are responsible for horizontal lines on the forehead, deep furrows, “elevens,” and crow’s feet, causing it to relax and gradually smooth out the appearance of the overlying skin. Over time, wrinkles in the skin fade, causing your skin to become smoother. The effects typically last about three months.”

THE TREATMENT

At L Medical Aesthetics, your treatment is individually customized based on the amount of muscle movement. Larger muscles may require a higher dosage. We’ll perform a follow-up visit to assess whether additional treatment is needed. We recommend treatment every three months.

Botox, Xeomin, and Juveau are all FDA-approved for use in expression lines in the upper portion of the face. These neuromodulators will give you a subtle and natural-looking rejuvenation of the face. While Botox, Xeomin, and Juveau are derived from botulinum toxin type A, their formulations can produce different results. During your consultation, we will explain the differences and benefits of both Botox, Juveau, and Xeomin so you can make an informed decision on which treatment is right for you.

NOTE: Treatment time 1 hour for a new client, 30 minutes for existing clients.

FAQ

Treatment areas include frown lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles around the mouth, forehead wrinkles, creases between the brows, and horizontal lines on the forehead.

 

  1. The face should be clean and dry without any makeup on the face or lips.
  2. No alcoholic drinks at least 24 hours prior to treatment because alcohol may thin the blood, which will increase the risk of bruising. 
  3. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications for 3-5 days before treatment. Medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo Biloba, ginseng, garlic, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDS are blood thinners and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.
  4. Reschedule your appointment at least a day in advance if you have a cold sore, blemish, or rash on your face. Be sure to have a good meal before your procedure. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment. 

The results last 3-4 months.

 

Yes. You may get mild redness, bruising, or swelling. These symptoms subside within a few hours.

 

Most treatments are quick and convenient, lasting no longer than 30 minutes. New patient visits are longer at 1 hour. You may experience a longer treatment time if you opt to undergo a comprehensive treatment that utilizes a combination of neuromodulators and filler products. The visit will be longer.

Immediately following your neurotoxin treatment, you are free to leave our office and resume almost all normal activities. However, patients should avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours after their treatment to prevent the possibility of migration. As minimally-invasive treatments, injectables produce very minimally, if any, side effects. You may experience some bruising, redness, or swelling at the site of your injections; however, these symptoms should resolve within a day or two of your treatment.

 

Most patients see results within 14 days after treatment. Treatments last an average of 3 months. We recommend treatments 3-4 times a year for most people. When you see muscle activity returning to the point where you see your skin creasing, it is time for your next treatment.
