Overview

Procedure
A fine needle is used to deliver precise amounts of neuromodulator into targeted muscles. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes and involves minimal discomfort.
Recovery
Normal activities can be resumed immediately. Avoid exercise, alcohol, and lying flat for 4 hours post-treatment. Mild swelling or bruising may occur.
Expected Results
Results develop over 7-14 days and typically last 3-4 months. Regular treatments maintain a refreshed, natural appearance.
