Neuromodulator treatment consists of administering a substance to treat expression lines and dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive muscle activity, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar wrinkles.
The procedure involves injecting small amounts into specific muscles responsible for wrinkle formation, temporarily blocking muscle contraction. By selectively weakening these muscles, excessive muscle activity is reduced, allowing the skin to smooth and soften over time.
The treatment usually takes only a few minutes and is performed in the medical office without the need for anesthesia. Results typically begin to appear within a few days to one week after treatment and reach their maximum effect at approximately two weeks.
Results usually last 3 to 5 months, depending on individual factors such as the administered dose, injection technique, and the patient’s metabolism.

Neuromodulator treatment is generally well tolerated. Very fine needles are used, and most patients experience only mild discomfort during the injections. If necessary, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
A neuromodulator session usually lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
Results typically begin to be visible 3 to 7 days after treatment, with maximum effect achieved in approximately two weeks.
The effects usually last between 3 and 5 months. As the effect wears off, muscle activity gradually returns, and wrinkles may reappear, making maintenance treatments necessary.
The most common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising at the injection site, and headache. In rare cases, eyelid ptosis (temporary drooping), facial asymmetry, or weakness of nearby muscles may occur. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few weeks.
Before treatment, it is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption, as well as aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications, for at least 24–48 hours to reduce the risk of bruising. It is also important to inform your physician about any medications or medical conditions.
After treatment, it is recommended not to rub or massage the treated areas for at least 24–48 hours to prevent product migration. Avoid lying down on the treated area or engaging in intense physical activity during the first 4–6 hours after the procedure.
Yes, when administered by a qualified professional. Neuromodulators have been approved by health authorities for the treatment of wrinkles and various medical conditions. It is essential that the procedure is performed by an experienced physician to minimize risks and maximize effectiveness.
