A neuromodulator is a naturally purified protein that is extracted from bacteria. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve impulses that cause the muscles to contract. It is the repetitive contraction of muscles of facial expression that cause wrinkles to emerge.  Neuromodulators work by temporarily reducing the contraction of these muscles, thus resulting in a softening of these lines. 

All injections and aftercare is provided by Dr. Ronan Conlon.

Typically, treatment lasts up to 30 minutes and involve multiple tiny injections into the muscle being treated. Most people return to work right after their treatment, although it is important to note you may encounter some slight bruising and swelling.

Typically, the injections are well tolerated and virtually painless, although the amount of discomfort varies from person to person. Most people would say the injections have less feeling than a mosquito bite.

The effect of neuromodulators is temporary and usually lasts between 3-4 months for aesthetic uses, although this can vary depending on the individual. For therapeutic uses (e.g., jaw pain, chronic migraine, underarm sweating) the duration is longer and can last up to 6-12 months.

There are minimal risks associated with neuromodulator injections. Common side effects include bruising, swelling, tenderness around the injection site and a mild headache for 24 hours post-injection.

A follow up appointment will be made for you 2 weeks post-injection with Dr. Conlon. Additional units can be added at that time if required.

The initial consultation is free. Treatment can be performed that same day in most cases if wanted.

No referral is needed for either therapeutic (TMD/jaw pain, underarm sweating, migraine) or aesthetic neuromodulator injections. Simply call or book online to schedule an appointment.

Depending on your plan, coverage may be provided for therapeutic neuromodulator injections. Please contact your insurer for further details.
