Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that leads to excessive sweating unrelated to exercise or heat. Normal sweating occurs when your body is overheated. The nerves connected to your sweat glands induce sweating to reduce the body temperature and prevent overheating. Hyperhidrosis occurs when overactive nerves constantly trigger the sweat glands, leading to continuous sweating without exercise or heat. Neuromodulators block communications between the overactive nerves and the sweat glands, thus preventing excessive sweating.

Chronic migraines are intense, pulsing, and throbbing sensations on the side of the head. The true root cause of migraines isn’t known, but migraine attacks have numerous triggers, such as loud sounds, bright lights, strong scents, certain foods, etc. When you have a migraine attack, your body releases neurotransmitters that send pain signals to the brain, leading to headaches. Neuromodulators block the pain signals from being transmitted to the brain, so you don’t suffer from migraine headaches.

Neuromodulators are commonly used for the treatment of overactive bladders and urgency incontinence. An overactive bladder occurs when your nerves send signals to your bladder at the wrong time, making your muscles squeeze and induce spasms in the bladder, leading to involuntary leakage. Since neuromodulators can block communications between nerve endings and targeted muscles, they can also prevent the overactive nerves from communicating with your bladder, at least temporarily. Consequently, you don’t need to “go” as often.

Neck and shoulder pain occurs when you experience involuntary and continuous muscle spasms in the neck, leading to persistent neck pain. Muscle spasms can occur because of numerous reasons, such as stress, anxiety, neck strain or sprain, spinal issues, and other factors. Neuromodulators can’t treat the root cause of involuntary spasms, but they can prevent neck pain, shoulder pain, and muscle spasms for a few months. Neuromodulators can temporarily paralyze the muscles responsible for your symptoms, thus alleviating chronic pain.

Lazy eye, also known as strabismus, is a medical condition where one eye is constantly misaligned and has trouble focusing on an object. One eye might look directly at the viewed object, and the other eye might be looking elsewhere. Strabismus may occur because of overactive muscles, nerves associated with the eyes, or the region of the brain responsible for eye movements. Neuromodulators can temporarily weaken the overactive muscles, allowing the misaligned eye to return to the optimal position.

Your neuromodulator treatment starts with a thorough evaluation with Francienne. She carefully examines your treatment areas, discusses your symptoms and problems, asks about your goals, reviews your medical history, and administers meticulous tests. After a thorough evaluation, she identifies the root cause of your problems and curates a personalized neuromodulator treatment plan, which involves selecting the appropriate neuromodulators (Dysport or Xeomin) and the correct dose.

The medical provider cleanses the treatment areas and applies a numbing gel to ensure a comfortable experience, following which they mark the targeted injection points. The appropriate units of the chosen neuromodulators are carefully injected into the treatment areas using extremely small injections. The number of injections depends on your specific goals and concerns. The treatment concludes within 30 minutes.

Neuromodulator treatments may cause mild post-treatment redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising around the treatment sites for a few days. You can resume most of your daily activities and work immediately, but you should avoid strenuous workouts for a day or two. The risk of complications is negligible, especially when done by skilled injectors.
