How Do Neuromodulators Work?
Neuromodulators work through a process that targets the muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how neuromodulators function, highlighting its mechanism and the professional approach at Kam Aesthetics.
Consultation: At Kam Aesthetics, every neuromodulator treatment begins with a personalized consultation. I assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the most effective treatment plan
Preparation: The targeted area is cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. Precise markings might be made to guide the injections.
Injection: Using a fine needle, the neuromodulator is injected into specific facial muscles. The botulinum toxin then binds to the nerve endings of the muscles, blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers muscle contraction.
Muscle Relaxation: Once the neurotransmitter's release is inhibited, the muscle relaxes. This relaxation reduces muscle activity that causes wrinkles and lines, leading to a smoother skin appearance.
Results: Initial results may be noticeable within 24 to 48 hours, with the full effect visible within 14 days post treatment. The treated area will appear more youthful and relaxed, with a significant reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.
The effects of neuromodulators are temporary, lasting about 3 to 4 months. Muscle action gradually returns, and lines and wrinkles may begin to reappear, requiring follow-up treatments to maintain results. Kam Aesthetics ensures a follow-up appointment to assess the treatment's outcome and plan for any future sessions, ensuring your aesthetic goals are continuously met. This step-by-step process ensures that every client at Kam Aestheticsa receives a tailored, effective neuromodulator treatment, achieving a naturally rejuvenated appearance with minimal downtime.
