What are Neuromodulators?

Derived from the botulinum toxin,  neuromodulators are used to temporarily reduce moderate to severe lines and wrinkles between the brows, around the eyes, and on the forehead, caused by regular muscle contractions such as frowning, smiling, and squinting. During treatment, very low doses of the neuromodulator are injected directly into the muscles that cause stubborn lines. Neuromodulators work by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles; this reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those persistent lines to form. As the muscle weakens, the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear, giving the face a more relaxed and refreshed look. Unlike dermal fillers, which are injected underneath the skin and add immediate plump to volume-deficient areas, neuromodulators such as BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered directly into the facial muscles with a fine needle.

Neuromodulators treat multiple signs of aging, such as:

• Frown lines or furrows between the eyebrows
• Crow’s feet in the outer corners of the eyes
• Forehead lines
• Banding in the neck
• Relaxation in the neck, chin, and lip areas

Why Choose Lougheed Laser Centre for Neuromodulator treatment?

While some Neuromodulator treatments can leave you looking frozen, fake, or exaggerated, our treatments at Lougheed Laser Centre are performed by our doctors and registered nurse, who are specially trained and certified in administering these treatments.

Are Neuromodulators Safe?

When used in the proper dosage and by licensed medical professionals, Neuromodulators such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and NUCEIVA are typically well-tolerated by patients with no major complications. Minor bruising, swelling, and redness at injection sites are the most common side effects, which generally subside after the first day.

Am I A Good Candidate for Neuromodulator treatment?

During your consultation with our medical team, several factors such as your health, medical history, cosmetic goals, and treatment expectations will be evaluated in order to determine if BOTOX® Cosmetic or NUCEIVA may be the best course of treatment for you. Some contraindicating medical conditions may require further evaluation before treatment is approved.
