There are several different neuromodulator products on the market today that will help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. What you need to know is that they are all derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum and they work by blocking the release of acetylcholine from presynaptic motor neurons. This chemical denervation causes a cascade of events resulting in muscle paralysis thus, smoothing out the appearance of overlying skin.
What is the procedure for Injectables?
At Moon Tree Aesthetics, the process begins with a thorough consultation to address any questions, provide detailed information, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. We believe in empowering our clients to make well-informed decisions. Once the treatment plan is agreed upon, consent forms are signed, and pre-procedural photos are taken. The actual procedure is usually less than 5 minutes and involves using very fine insulin syringes for injections, ensuring minimal discomfort and a virtually painless experience.
