What are Neuromodulators and what do they do?
Neuromodulators are a class of substances that modulate or alter the activity of the nervous system. In the context of medical and cosmetic treatments, neuromodulators typically refer to injectable agents, such as botulinum toxin type A, which are used to temporarily block nerve signals to muscles. This results in muscle relaxation, making them commonly employed in cosmetic procedures to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for their formation. Well-known examples of neuromodulators used in cosmetic treatments include Botox, Dysport and Jeaveau. We are here to help guide you to the right treatment and medications to achieve your goals. Individuals often seek neuromodulator treatments to address cosmetic concerns that are not easily resolved. These may include frown lines, wrinkles around the mouth, and sagging skin. Neuromodulators are also employed to mitigate skin texture irregularities by smoothing out crevices and enhancing overall appearance. Neuromodulator injections are conducted as outpatient procedures, typically lasting between 15 to 30 minutes. The process involves:
- Selection of injection sites based on patient goals and professional assessment
- Delivery of neuromodulator injections through a series of small shots
- Absence of local anaesthesia requirement
Patients should avoid neuromodulator injections if pregnant, have a neurological condition, or are breastfeeding. Additionally, certain medications may interfere with desired outcomes. Consultation with our team is advisable to determine the most suitable approach for individual needs.
