How it works
Neurotoxins or neuromodulators are injectable medications that work by inhibiting muscle contraction. Once the area is injected the lines of the face soften and new wrinkle formation is stalled while the medication remains active. Therefore, neurotoxins are great for not only smoothing and diminishing lines but also for preventing those lines as we age.
What to except
Your appointment for this treatment at Captivate will take 15-30 minutes.
You will see results and visible smoothing three to four days post-injection. Sometimes it will take closer to a week for your results to appear. Typically, results will last about three to four months.
You may experience some mild side effects like minor tenderness, swelling, bruising, or a headache. We recommend getting treatments at least two weeks prior to important events, due to the possibility of bruising.
There is no downtime associated with neurotoxin injection. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the injection. Avoid rubbing the treated area for a few hours and avoid strenuous activities for the remainder of your treatment day. Read more about Captivate’s preferred neurotoxin, Xeomin Aesthetics.
