Neuromodulators Los Angeles, CA

There comes the point when expression lines slowly evolve into permanent fixtures on your face, and when that happens, you need a solution. Anti-aging topical products can only do so much, and while they can promote skin health, oftentimes, they cannot address the root cause of expression lines. At Re-Nu Aesthetics, we offer popular and effective neuromodulators designed to smooth expression lines long-term.

Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators refer to wrinkle-relaxing injectables. These injectables provide a safe way to temporarily smooth expression lines and restore younger-looking, smooth, line-free skin. We offer several different injectables that relax wrinkles at Re-Nu Aesthetics, including Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. Each of these works very similarly and will help you combat expression lines so that they are no longer permanently fixed on your skin.

Each of these injectables contains a purified protein, botulinum toxin A, which works on the muscular level and inhibits communication between the nerve signals and the muscles. Post-treatment, your muscles will begin relaxing, and your lines will disappear. You’ll still be able to express yourself normally, but your expressions will be less exaggerated.

What Are Dynamic Wrinkles?

There are two classifications for wrinkles: those that result from volume loss and those that result from repetitive expression, also known as dynamic wrinkles. Neuromodulators specifically address dynamic wrinkles, the expression lines that form from repetitive expressions over a lifetime. As you age, your skin thins and weakens.

It becomes less resilient, resulting in visible expression lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. Dynamic wrinkles require a unique treatment plan, and when we use neuromodulators to address them, they will relax the muscles in the treatment area so that you can achieve line-free skin.

Our Wrinkle-Relaxing Injectables

Botox

Botox is a well-known injectable. Even if you have never experienced this injectable treatment, you probably know someone who has. Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic injectables because of its versatility, safety, and results-driven formula. Botox can address the most dynamic wrinkles of all the neuromodulators, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.

Patients interested in this injectable can safely treat one or all three areas with expression lines and achieve beautiful results. Results appear within the first week post-treatment and will continue to improve 30 days after.

Treating Medical Concerns

Not only is Botox an effective option for patients with dynamic wrinkles, but it can also alleviate the pain associated with TMJ. Injections into the muscles around the jaw will relax them to help alleviate TMJ pain that typically results from tense jaw muscles.

Not only can we treat TMJ pain, but we can use Botox as an effective solution for hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis affects patients’ daily life and confidence as it causes excessive sweating from the armpits. Injections into the armpits will block active sweat glands and prevent them from producing excessive sweat.

Xeomin

Xeomin is a highly purified neuromodulator formulated without any additional proteins. It’s designed to treat frown lines between the eyebrows and is a good solution for patients with one specific concern. This neuromodulator delivers results that appear within the first two to three days post-treatment. It can help patients achieve a younger and more well-rested appearance by temporarily smoothing frown lines.

Dysport

Dysport is another cosmetic injectable designed to treat frown lines. During the treatment process, we will inject disport into five different locations around the brows and in the forehead area to smooth dynamic wrinkles. Post-treatment, you can expect to achieve results within the first several days and will be able to express yourself as you normally would, just without frown lines.

What To Expect From the Treatment Process

Your Consultation

If you’re interested in adding one of these injectables to your anti-aging routine, the first step is to schedule a consultation. First, we must find out more about your medical history and any previous experience with neurotoxins and learn more about your cosmetic or aging-related goals.

Then, we can choose which injectables will best meet your needs and move forward with your treatment plan. Patients should be in good health, understand the treatment process, and not have any neurotoxin allergies.

The Injections

Once we develop your treatment plan, we can schedule your injection appointment. This appointment is quick and only takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete. We will start the treatment by applying a topical numbing cream if necessary to ensure your comfort. Some patients choose a numbing solution; others do not.

We will cleanse your skin and administer the necessary number of injections into your desired treatment area with the specific number of units you need to address your dynamic wrinkles. We can treat multiple areas during one appointment with multiple wrinkle-relaxing injectables if needed. After your treatment, you can go about your day with minimal restrictions.

Injection Aftercare Instructions

After your treatment is over, we will give you detailed instructions regarding aftercare. You must follow these instructions to achieve the best results and avoid anything that could negatively affect your results. It’s important that you keep your elevated head elevated for at least four hours post-treatment.

Avoid touching the injection sites or massaging them to prevent the formula from spreading outside the desired treatment area. You should also avoid intense exercise, hot environments, and anti-inflammatory medications or supplements in the days following your treatment.

Follow-Up Treatments

It’s important to note that patients who begin treatment with one or more of these wrinkle-relaxing injectables must schedule follow-up treatments to maintain results. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin typically last for three to four months. Your dynamic wrinkles will return as soon as your body metabolizes the ingredients in the injectables.

However, as long as you schedule regular follow-up treatments, you can ensure long-lasting results and maintain your expression line-free skin long-term. Patients who schedule regular treatments notice that they often need fewer units to address lines and wrinkles over time because these injectables deliver both prescriptive and preventative results.

Say Goodbye to Expression Lines

Expression lines don’t have to define your future. We can make them a thing of the past with one or more of these effective injectables. Once you begin treatment and experience incredible, natural-looking results, you’ll make neuromodulators a staple in your anti-aging and aesthetic routine.
