Pre-care
Before your neuromodulator appointment
Plan ahead: neuromodulators take about two weeks to take full effect, so book at least two weeks before a special event or trip.
- Plan your timing. Book appointments about 12 weeks apart. If a touch-up is needed, it can be done 14 days after your injection.
- No active infections. If you are taking antibiotics, you must have finished them at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
- Avoid blood thinners for 72 hours before. This includes Advil and other blood-thinning medications. Tylenol is OK.
- No alcohol, smoking or nicotine for 24 hours before your appointment.
- No vaccines of any kind within 4 weeks of your injections.
- Tell us about any changes to your health, medications or recent treatments.

Neuromodulator aftercare FAQ
When will I see results from my neuromodulator treatment?
Most people start to notice a difference within a few days, with full results at about two weeks. That is why we assess any touch-ups at 14 days.
How long do neuromodulator results last?
Results typically last around three months, which is why we recommend booking about every 12 weeks to maintain them.
When can I exercise after my treatment?
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after your neuromodulator treatment.
Why do I need to stay upright for 4 hours?
Staying upright and not touching the area for the first 4 hours helps the product settle where it was placed.
Can I take Tylenol after my treatment?
Yes. Tylenol is OK. Avoid Advil and other blood-thinning medications for 72 hours after your treatment.
