Neuromodulators (anti-wrinkle) Vancouver
Erase your lines of aging and look younger.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Neuromodulators) can be used to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck. When injected into specific muscles, they work by blocking the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract. This can help smooth out wrinkles and lines that are caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting.
Neuromodulators can be used to treat the following areas:
-
Neuromodulators can smooth horizontal forehead lines, also known as worry lines or expression lines, by inhibiting the muscle contractions that cause them to form. This results in a smoother and more youthful forehead appearance.
Regular use of Neuromodulators can help prevent the further development of forehead lines by temporarily weakening the muscles responsible for creating them. This proactive approach can slow down the aging process and maintain smoother skin over time.
-
Neuromodulators are highly effective in reducing dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines or glabellar lines, which form between the eyebrows as a result of repeated facial movements like frowning or squinting. By temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for these movements, neuromodulators soften the appearance of frown lines.
By reducing the intensity of muscle contractions in the glabellar region, Neuromodulators can create a more relaxed and refreshed appearance, minimizing the appearance of furrows and lines between the eyebrows.
Some individuals find that addressing frown lines with neuromodulators can lead to a subtle improvement in mood, as the relaxed facial expression reflects a more positive and approachable demeanor.
-
Crow's feet, also known as lateral canthal lines, are dynamic wrinkles that form around the eyes due to repeated facial expressions such as smiling or squinting. Neuromodulators work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for these movements, softening the appearance of crow's feet and preventing them from becoming more pronounced.
Neuromodulator injections can be strategically administered to subtly lift the outer corners of the eyes, creating a more open and refreshed appearance to the eye area.
-
Bunny lines, also known as nasalis or scrunch lines, are dynamic wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling or scrunching the nose. Neuromodulators work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for these movements, softening the appearance of bunny lines and preventing them from becoming more pronounced.
-
A gummy smile often occurs when the upper lip rises too high, exposing an excessive amount of gum tissue when smiling. Neuromodulators can be strategically injected into the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip, temporarily relaxing them and reducing the extent to which the gums are exposed when smiling.
Many individuals feel self-conscious about their gummy smile and may avoid smiling or covering their mouths when they do. Neuromodulators can help individuals feel more confident and comfortable with their smiles by reducing the appearance of excess gum tissue.
-
Neuromodulator injections can target the muscles around the mouth responsible for puckering or pursing the lips, which contribute to the formation of lip lines. By temporarily relaxing these muscles, Neuromodulators can soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lips.
Neuromodulators can help create a smoother and more defined lip contour by reducing the prominence of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. This can enhance the overall appearance of the lips and create a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
-
Neuromodulator injections can be strategically administered to the depressor muscles around the mouth responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downwards. By temporarily relaxing these muscles, neuromodulators can lift the corners of the mouth, creating a more upward and youthful appearance.
The oral commissures, where the upper and lower lips meet at the corners of the mouth, can sometimes turn downward with age, giving the appearance of a frown. Neuromodulators can help elevate these downward corners, restoring a more neutral or slightly upturned position.
A downturned mouth can give the appearance of sadness or dissatisfaction, even when an individual is not feeling that way. By lifting the corners of the mouth, neuromodulators can help create a more neutral or positive facial expression, enhancing overall facial harmony.
-
Neuromodulators can help smooth out horizontal neck lines, also known as necklace lines, by relaxing the platysma muscle in the neck. This muscle contraction can contribute to the formation of lines and creases in the neck area, and Botox can help soften their appearance.
-
Neuromodulator injections can target the mentalis muscle in the chin, which is responsible for chin dimpling or puckering. By relaxing this muscle, Neuromodulators an soften the appearance of chin dimples and create a smoother chin contour.
-
Neuromodulator injections into the masseter muscles can help relax and weaken them, resulting in a reduction in muscle size over time. This can lead to a slimmer and more contoured jawline.
-
Many individuals experience jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism) due to overactivity of the masseter muscles. Neuromodulators can help alleviate these symptoms by reducing the strength of the masseter contractions, leading to a more relaxed jaw and decreased muscle tension.
-
Neuromodulator injections into the trapezius muscles can help reduce their bulkiness, resulting in a slimmer and more sculpted appearance of the neck and upper back. This can be desirable for individuals seeking a more refined or feminine neck contour.
For those with trapezius muscle tension, neuromodulator injections into the trapezius muscles can help relax and weaken them, providing relief from muscle tension and discomfort. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who experience chronic neck and shoulder pain due to muscle tightness or spasms in the trapezius muscles.
-
Neuromodulator injections can help reduce the frequency and severity of chronic migraines by targeting specific trigger points in the head and neck muscles. By blocking the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in pain signaling, Botox can interrupt the migraine cycle and provide relief from symptoms.
-
Neuromodulator injections can target the sweat glands in areas prone to excessive sweating, such as the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. By blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates sweat production, neuromodulators can temporarily reduce sweat gland activity and decrease sweating.
Excessive sweating can lead to body odor due to the accumulation of sweat and bacteria on the skin. By reducing sweat production, neuromodulators can help control body odor and improve overall hygiene.
-
Botox injections can help reduce the size and bulk of the calf muscles by weakening their activity. Slimmer calf muscles can contribute to a sleeker and more toned appearance of the lower legs, enhancing the overall silhouette and contour. This can be desirable for individuals seeking a more slender or athletic look.
Neuromodulators are typically administered by a qualified healthcare provider and take only a few minutes to complete. The treatment is relatively painless, and patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the injection. Results from neuromodulators typically last 3-4 months, after which time the treatment may need to be repeated in order to maintain the desired results.

FAQs
What is a Neuromodulator (anti-wrinkle injection) treatment like?
During a neuromodulator treatment, patients typically experience minimal discomfort. The injection site may feel like a small pinch or prick, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated and does not require any anesthesia.
After the injection, patients may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few hours to a few days.
Overall, neuromodulator injection is a relatively quick and painless treatment that can be completed in just a few minutes. While everyone's experience may be slightly different, most patients report that the discomfort associated with injections is minimal and well-tolerated.
How long do neuromodulators (anti-wrinkle injections) last for?
The effects of one neuromodulator treatment generally last about 3-4 months, although this may vary with the individual.
How safe are neuromodulators (anti-wrinkle injections)?
Anti-Wrinkle Injections are very safe and the risks are low. These risks will be explained to you by your healthcare provider at your in-clinic visit.
