Botox

Our facial muscles take on continuous movement throughout our lives and all of those muscle contractions cause lines over time. These lines and wrinkles can be caused by our habitual facial expressions, sun exposure and even stress. Botox is a highly reputable facial non-surgical treatment that is considered an excellent procedure to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles caused by that continuous movement and contraction of our muscles, a natural part of the aging process. 

A Neuromodulator is a type of injectable that works very differently than a dermal filler. Neuromodulators temporarily relax facial muscles, essentially softening the lines by minimizing the strength and activity of those muscles, resulting in a smoother appearance. Essentially it acts as a muscle relaxer and when used on fine lines and wrinkles, it inhibits the muscle from contracting.

This procedure involves the injection of Neuromodulators using a fine needle directly under the area of skin with fine lines and wrinkles. Its application is as much an art as it is a medical procedure. The early application of neuromodulators can work to prevent the worsening of existing wrinkles and the development of new ones. Neuromodulators are safe, with results lasting between 3-6 months.  

At Retreat Skin & Body Clinic, the Neuromodulators our experienced experts use are Botox, Dysport, and Nuceiva.
