Neuromodulators
SOFTEN THE MOVEMENT. KEEP THE EXPRESSION.
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments used to temporarily reduce targeted muscle movement—softening expression lines, creating subtle balance, and helping prevent certain lines from becoming more deeply set over time.
At MAGY, the goal isn’t to remove expression. It’s to understand how your face moves and treat selectively, so the result still looks like you.
Reduce the appearance of lines caused by repeated facial movement.
Strategic treatment can help refine facial balance, shape and symmetry.
Reducing repetitive movement may help slow the progression of certain dynamic lines over time.
Treatment is quick, with most clients returning to their regular day immediately afterward.
How Neuromodulators Work
It's All About Movement.
Every smile, squint and frown involves a coordinated pattern of facial muscle movement. Over time, those repeated movements can contribute to lines that become increasingly visible—even when your face is at rest.
Neuromodulators temporarily reduce communication between targeted nerves and muscles, decreasing the strength of selected muscle contractions.
The key word is selected.
Thoughtful treatment doesn’t require every muscle to stop moving. By understanding how your individual muscles work together, we can soften certain movements while maintaining expression and facial balance.
Treatment Areas
More Than Forehead Lines.
Neuromodulators are best known for treating expression lines, but strategic muscle relaxation can be used throughout the face—and in selected areas of the body—for a variety of aesthetic and functional concerns.
Common treatment areas include:
Forehead Lines
Softens horizontal lines created when raising the eyebrows.
Crow's Feet
Softens expression lines that appear around the outer eyes when smiling or squinting.
Masseters
Treatment of the masseter muscles may be considered for appropriate aesthetic or functional concerns involving excessive muscle activity.
Neck + Platysmal Bands
Neuromodulators can reduce the activity of prominent platysmal bands and, in appropriately selected clients, help refine the appearance of the lower face and neck.
Subtle Changes, Gradually.
Neuromodulators don’t work instantly.
Initial changes typically begin to appear within several days, with the treatment effect continuing to develop over approximately two weeks.
Results are temporary. For many commonly treated facial areas, effects last approximately three to four months, although duration varies depending on the treatment area, amount used, individual muscle activity, metabolism and other factors.
We don’t aim for the maximum amount of treatment simply to make it last longer. The goal is to find the right balance between movement, longevity and the result you’re looking for.
Neuromodulators
Your Treatment, From Consultation To Follow-Up.
Before treating, we look at your face both at rest and in motion.
We’ll discuss your goals, medical history and previous treatments, then assess your facial anatomy, muscle movement, strength, symmetry and how different areas interact.
From there, we’ll build a treatment plan around you.
Treatment itself is generally quick. Small amounts of neuromodulator are administered into carefully selected muscles using a fine needle.
Most clients describe the injections as a brief pinch and require little to no downtime.
You can generally return to most normal activities immediately afterward. Your provider will review any specific aftercare recommendations with you before you leave.
Small areas of redness, swelling or bruising can occur around injection sites and are typically temporary.
Results develop gradually, with the full effect typically visible within two weeks.
When clinically appropriate, follow-up allows us to assess your response once the treatment has taken full effect and determine whether any adjustment is warranted.
The MAGY Approach
Movement Matters.
Neuromodulator treatment isn’t simply about counting lines—or units.
We look at how your face moves as a whole. Muscle strength, anatomy, symmetry, facial proportions and the interaction between different muscle groups all influence how we plan treatment.
Sometimes that means treating less. Sometimes it means treating a different area than you expected. And sometimes it means recommending another approach altogether.
Our goal is to soften what bothers you without taking away the expressions that make your face yours.
Looking like yourself is the point.
