Frequently Asked Questions

Neuromodulators

  • You’ll start seeing results within 3-4 days, but the full effects of Neuromodulators can take up to 14 days.

  • So, usually Botox and other Neuromodulators keep you looking smooth for about 3-4 months. But here's the deal – your facial moves also play a role. If you're all about those big, expressive expressions, you might develop more of those lines and wrinkles, and that could make your Neuromodulators wear off a bit more quickly.

    The quantity administered also plays a significant role in determining its duration of action. To illustrate, if a smaller quantity of Botox than necessary is injected, its effects may not endure for the expected 3-4 months.

  • When it comes to Botox and Neuromodulators, you're mostly looking at just a tiny bit of pain in the specific spot. Of course, there's that small chance of infection when you break the skin, especially if your immune system isn't at its best, but don't stress too much – that's not super common.

    You might see some puffiness, tenderness, or redness at the injection site. Maybe a tad bit of bleeding or bruising too. Reduce bruising and puffiness by skipping the Advil, ASA, Naproxen, and drinks for a whole day before the injection. That should dial down the bleeding and bruising situation.

  • When you're getting Botox or other Neuromodulator injections, the pain is pretty minor and mostly in the area where they're injecting it. There's a small risk of infection whenever the skin gets punctured, especially if your immune system isn't in the best shape, but don't worry too much about that – it doesn't happen all that often.

    As for other possible stuff that might happen, you could notice a bit of swelling, tenderness, or redness right where they put the needle. Maybe a little bit of bleeding or a bruise too. But here's a trick: if you want to keep the bruising and bleeding in check, just lay off the Advil, ASA, Naproxen, and booze for a whole day before your appointment. That should make things easier in that department.

  • Absolutely, even though Neuromodulators tone down muscle activity, your face can still show expressions. When you've got a skilled and certified injector on the job – no "frozen" look, promise. At SkinDiva, we play it safe and sound with these injections. Our motto? "Start small and build up if needed." We're all about that chill, well-rested, and natural vibe.

  • Stopping Botox or other Neuromodulator treatments won't lead to any major issues. As the effects of Botox gradually fade, you'll notice more movement returning to the treated areas. The period just before your next Neuromodulator session is when you might sense the most movement in your face. Remember, you're free to halt your Botox injections whenever you want. Those expressions that used to cause lines and creases will just go back to how they were before you started treatments.

  • Neuromodulators have gained the green light from the FDA for cosmetic use in individuals between the ages of 18 and 65. Folks on the younger side who get Botox usually want to stay ahead of the game and prevent those pesky static lines from setting in. Out of the 5 million Botox recipients in the US last year, nearly 30% were under 30 years old.
