About the Treatment
What is it?
Body and face sculpting with neuromodulator is a non-surgical and minimally invasive option for body contouring, designed to slim face and elongate both the shoulders and lower legs. Tailored to slim the facial profile and achieve a lengthened appearance in the shoulders and lower legs, this procedure enhances overall body aesthetics without the need for surgery.
Who is a good candidate? Who is NOT a candidate?
For those seeking a more feminine and attractive appearance, shoulder and neckline contouring can help achieve well-defined collarbones and a slim, contoured shoulder area. Those who are also interested in lower leg contouring are a good candidate.
Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking certain medications, or anyone with neurological conditions are not good candidates.
How is the treatment done?
Neuromodulator treatment for the trapezius is straightforward. Injections are given into the upper shoulder at 4-5 points on each side. Treatment will effectively relax and weaken overdeveloped trapezius muscles, reducing their volume. Sliming down the neck and shoulder line will in turn make the face appear smaller and can make the collarbones more visible and well defined.
Botulinum toxin is injected into the calves, which then works to relax the muscles for a period of time, which will over some time, cause the area to shrink in size. The neuromodulator is injected into the gastrocnemius muscle (located down the backside of your leg, from your knee to your heel), either in the back or on the side muscles. The effects will result in a smoother calf, with a softened contoured appearance.
Why do the procedure/benefits?
Neuromodulator treatments can be used to recontour the neck and shoulder lines, reducing the size of trapezius muscles that may be out of proportion with the rest of the body. This approach can help create more feminine lines and achieve a more balanced appearance.
Some women, due to genetics and or athletics are more likely to develop larger calf muscles from workouts or everyday activities. Therefore, neuromodulators can help create slimmer calf muscles.
How long is recovery? What does it look like? (Bruising, swelling, etc.)
No recovery time is needed. All Botox treatments have minimal to no downtime. You are able to resume daily activities after the treatment.
