Neuromodulators

It’s fairly common to notice that some of the early signs of aging have begun to make themselves known...but not everyone wants to come in for a full-on surgical procedure just to address this type of issue. If you’re looking for a minimally invasive way to smooth over fine lines, wrinkles, and some of the other early signs of aging, we’re here for you. Dr. Vila offers a wide range of neuromodulators, which can stop the muscle contractions that cause fine lines and wrinkles, so you can enjoy a youthful, clear look.

Turn Back the Clock, Non-Surgically

When it comes to anti-aging, the amount of non-surgical options that can produce impressive results tends to surprise our patients. We offer a variety of neuromodulators, each of which can help to stop the development of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, while also working to reduce the presence of the ones that might have started to pop up already.

If you’re looking for a great way to turn back the clock, without having to deal with an invasive surgical procedure or the annoying recovery time that tends to come with it, neuromodulators might very well be the solution for you. Reach out and set up your consultation with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Vila today, and learn more about what these impressive treatments can do for you.

What Are Neuromodulators?

Here at The Vila Institute for Plastic Surgery, we offer a few different neuromodulators, including Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau. Though they each have small differences, they are all used for the same cosmetic reason – to temporarily reduce the appearance of forehead lines, glabellar lines (also called “11 lines”), and crow’s feet (the smile lines around the eyes).

How Do Neurotoxins Work?

Injectable neuromodulators are the most common cosmetic procedure in the United States, due to the ease of the procedure, the lack of downtime, and their impressively quick onset (five to seven days after injection). These products work by blocking the nerve signals to muscles in the face, whose repeated use and contraction causes the development of fine lines and wrinkles, enabling you to enjoy a fresh-faced and youthful look.

Each of our injectable neurotoxins are based on Botulinum toxin, with tiny variations in each product. By injecting the neurotoxin into the muscles of the face that cause wrinkles, we weaken the muscle to relax the skin, leading to smoothing out the wrinkles over time. In younger patients, neurotoxins will erase wrinkles completely, and in older patients, it will soften them.

Can Neuromodulators Be Combined with Other Treatments?

For patients seeking more dramatic results, neurotoxins can be used to relax the muscles, followed by treatment with a CO2 laser, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment, or chemical peel to resurface the skin. Dr. Vila can discuss your goals with you after examining you closely to personalize your treatment.

How Often Do I Need Treatment?

There are small differences between all of the injectable neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau), but each of them last approximately three to four months before a follow-up treatment is advised. If you’re consistent with your treatments, you might be able to space them out, so that treatment is needed less often.
