Neuromodulator Injections

Wrinkle relaxers, also known as neuromodulators, are products injected into the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines to relax those muscles.

The ingredients in these products block the signal between nerve and muscle, thereby reducing its ability to contract and form wrinkles, creating a refreshed or relaxed appearance. Treatment is quick, simple, and relatively painless, with no downtime.

At Oceanside, we offer Botox injection.

How Wrinkle Smoothing Works

Frown lines and facial wrinkles form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines. Neuromodulators block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.

The treatment we use is made through a unique precision process that isolates the therapeutic component of the neuromodulator molecule and removes the accessory proteins that don’t play an active role in treatment. This highly purified neuromodulator injection safely and effectively reduces facial lines and wrinkles.

Benefits of Oceanside Neuromodulator Injection

With the double-filtered formula that removes unnecessary proteins you get only what’s needed for smoother frown lines, treatment after treatment. Our treatment is less likely to cause allergic reactions due to the absence of added fillers.

Before & After Neuromodulator Injection

Neuromodulator FAQ

Q : How long does it take to work?

A : You could see visible smoothing three to four days post-injection. Sometimes it’ll take closer to a week for your results to appear, and you can expect your results to have reached their maximum effect after 30 days.

Q : How long do the injections last?

A : Typically, results will last about three to four months, though some clients say they still see results for up to six months post-injection. If you keep up with your maintenance, you may be able to go longer between visits.

Q : Will I lose facial expression?

A : No. The proper use of the injections will lead to natural and effective improvements of your face.

Q : What areas of my face can I get injected & how many units?

A : Three areas around the eyes are the most commonly injected: frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Other areas on the face may be injected depending on your objectives.

Q : Am I a good candidate for neuromodulator injections?

A : Review your recent medical history (if any) and discuss any questions you have with our medical team to find out whether our treatment is right for you.

Q : Will my face feel numb?

A : The treatment will reduce muscle motion but should not affect the nerves that cause sensation, or make you feel numb.

Q : What is the difference between dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers?

A : Over time, the muscles above and between your eyebrows repeatedly contract, causing wrinkles to form. Wrinkle relaxers are generally injected around these muscles. They relax the muscle so that the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is reduced. Dermal fillers replace volume and structure lost through the aging process. Dermal fillers are generally used to replace volume in lips and reduce the appearance of deep folds and lost volume in the face. Wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers are often used in combination in different areas for an optimal result.
