Neuromodulators
We eliminate facial wrinkles without surgery
What are neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators, also known as botulinum toxin, are injectable substances used to temporarily relax facial muscles, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines.
Its main objective is to improve the appearance of the face, giving it a younger and more rested look by eliminating wrinkles that give an aged effect.
What does the procedure involve?
Through a very fine needle, applied to the areas we want to relax and in the doses (units) required for this.
We apply anesthetic cream 10 minutes before neuromodulator treatment to minimize the pain of the injection, although many patients do not need it.
By inhibiting the formation of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction). Since the muscle does not contract, the wrinkle diminishes or disappears.
Over the next 4-5 months, this effect gradually diminishes, and the muscle begins to secrete acetylcholine again and contracts, causing the wrinkle to reappear. Therefore, it is important to define a personalized treatment plan with the specialist at the Dra. Ana Torres Institute.
*You may experience swelling and some discomfort, which will subside in the hours following the procedure.
