Revitalize Your Appearance with Neuromodulator Treatments at Khrom Aesthetics in Brooklyn

Khrom Aesthetics offers a variety of services designed to enhance patients' appearances. One key service is the use of cosmetic injectables, specifically neuromodulators, which can help create a more youthful look. Patients interested in wrinkle treatment with injectables are encouraged to learn about neuromodulators. At Khrom Aesthetics, we utilize Botox, Dysport, Letybo, and Xeomin as effective treatments for frown lines and many other cosmetic concerns.

Understanding neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are injected directly into muscles of the face to address:

Frown lines
Forehead folds
Crow's feet
Glabellar lines
Bunny Lines
Brow Lift
Lip Flip / Gummy Smile
Chin Dimpling
Downward lip corners / jowls
Overactive masseter muscles / TMJ
Vertical Neck Bands

We offer popular brands like Botox, Dysport, Letybo, and Xeomin. Each of these products reduces muscle contractions to smooth the skin and address fine lines, wrinkles, and folds that can develop on the face.

How does a neuromodulator work?

The best way to describe a neuromodulator is as a medication that reduces muscle contractions. Unlike dermal fillers, which are administered directly into a fine line or wrinkle to add volume, neuromodulators work on the muscles. The treatment targets facial muscles that form fine lines and wrinkles to achieve optimal results. After the procedure, results can be seen within a week, and these effects can last for approximately six months or longer.

Neuromodulators have been used in various medical fields over the years for conditions such as chronic headaches, migraines, cervical dystonia, and overactive bladder. Their benefits, which also include the ability to smooth the skin around muscle areas, were recognized later in their application.

Is Botox safe?

All the neuromodulators used in our practice are safe for aesthetic purposes. We evaluate patients before providing treatment to ensure they are healthy and appropriate candidates for this and other cosmetic services available through our practice. The injections we utilize in our practice are of the best quality and cleared by the FDA for cosmetic purposes. Our providers work closely with patients to ensure they achieve the look they've always wanted!

How much does Xeomin cost?

The cost depends on the severity of the wrinkles and folds and the size of the area being treated. We encourage patients to schedule a consultation to get an idea of the overall cost of treatment.

Who is a candidate?

Patients who want a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment to address the signs of aging are welcome to schedule a visit at our office to decide which injectable is most appropriate for their specific needs. We offer neuromodulators, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, and collagen stimulators! During the initial consultation appointment, we will evaluate the patient and discuss the options that can be used for enhancement. We frequently advise against treating pregnant patients, as this procedure should be postponed until after the baby is born. Additionally, we review each patient's medical and family history to assess their suitability for this treatment. This ensures that no allergies or other issues could arise from this or other injectables used in our practice.

What are the benefits of neuromodulators?

There are several advantages to the use of neuromodulators for cosmetic enhancement. Botox, Xeomin, Letybo, and Dysport are:

Affordable
Minimally-invasive
Free from downtime
Effective
Safe
Used on patients of all ages
Able to be used with other cosmetic treatments

How often do I need to undergo neuromodulator treatments?

When patients consult with our team, they learn about the benefits of services that can enhance their appearance. We evaluate patients to discuss the number of treatments needed to achieve the results they desire. In most situations, patients undergo a single treatment and enjoy the results for approximately six months before needing additional injections to maintain the results and slow the signs of aging. Our team welcomes patients to ask about maintenance injections and how they work to keep patients looking their best!

What can I expect during my neuromodulator injection appointment?

First, we begin by cleansing the skin. Next, we assess the patient's areas of concern and determine which muscles should be targeted for injection. Certain muscles can cause fine lines and wrinkles in specific areas, so by focusing on these areas, we can achieve enhancement without needing additional injectable treatments. As the injections are administered, patients are encouraged to relax their facial muscles; they may experience slight discomfort.

The early bird gets the worm! And Mariah knows what she’s doing!

Dr. Khrom talks to us as she carries out a Botox treatment session with her young patient Mariah. She explains clearly the distinction between using Botox in a preventive medium as opposed to a presumptuous one. Treating the lines and creases that develop early is a great way to avoid the deep furrowing lines as you get older.

So, this is Mariah, one of my millennial patients. I do believe that there is such a thing as preventative Botox not presumptive Botox, when I see lines at rest, or when someone speaks and usually really uses their forehead muscles, or squints a lot which in this case happens to my beautiful patients so we will do preventative Botox for these lines not to becomes etched skin

Are there any aftercare instructions patients should follow?

In most cases, patients who have neuromodulator injections can return to their routine without interruption. Patients may notice some skin changes such as swelling, itching, and discomfort that may be localized to the treatment area. These are often short-term and will go away within a day or two. Patients can utilize cosmetics to cover their skin until the treatment takes effect, and the side effects have subsided.

Patients should always use sunscreen on their skin to protect it from the elements, preferably a SPF 30 or higher product. Our team will advise patients on the best skin care products to enhance their skin and reduce damage. If patients have any concerns about their skin following their injection appointment, they are encouraged to visit the practice for a follow-up appointment and discuss their concerns.

How long are injection appointments?

Because neuromodulators require a minor injection of a medication into the muscles of the face, most patients can be in and out of the office in 15 minutes or less. Injections are done quickly and precisely with the care of our team and can be done during the lunch break for many of our busiest patients! We take the time to answer patient questions before, during, and after the appointment to help patients feel at ease about having their procedure performed.

Is there anything I should do before my appointment?

Patients can come to our office without any prior preparation for their appointments. We encourage patients to inquire about this and other cosmetic treatments, and they may even have their injections done during the same visit. However, we request that patients be aware of their medical and family history, as this information is important for the pre-treatment evaluation to determine their eligibility for this and other treatments available at Khrom Aesthetics.

Are the results from neuromodulators permanent?

Unfortunately, permanent results cannot be achieved without more invasive treatments, such as plastic surgery. Even with such procedures, it is not possible to fully stop or reverse the signs of aging. However, cosmetic injectables can enhance patients’ confidence in their appearance. Neuromodulators typically last about six months before the skin changes again. Therefore, patients who wish to maintain their results should plan to visit our practice for maintenance injections at least twice a year. These treatments help preserve a youthful look and effectively reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and folds.

When should plastic surgery be considered?

Patients visiting our office to learn about neuromodulators are sometimes discouraged from considering plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is typically seen as a last option due to its invasive nature, high expenses, and significant recovery time. For those struggling with severe lines, wrinkles, and folds, plastic surgery may be suggested to achieve the results they seek.

On the other hand, mild to moderate signs of aging can often be treated effectively with cosmetic injectables. However, surgical options are usually the best choice for more severe cases. The Khrom Aesthetics team works closely with various medical providers in the area and can recommend a reputable plastic surgeon for patients interested in a consultation to discuss their options.

Meanwhile, patients who exhibit less pronounced signs of aging can benefit from our professionals’ expertise in non-invasive treatments that don’t require surgery. By using cosmetic injectables, many patients can delay the need for surgical procedures for several years.
