Welcome to Mind and Body Medical Spa
Find the Fountain of Youth
Years of laughs, tears, surprises, and a well-lived life can lead to persistent lines and wrinkles that may make you feel less confident. Thanks to modern-day aesthetics, you can find your way back to the fountain of youth!
Neuromodulators (commonly referred to with the brand Botox) are wrinkle-relaxing injectables of botulinum toxin, a purified substance extracted from bacteria. When injected by a professional, a neuromodulator blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract—and thus wrinkles to form. When you come to Mind and Body Medical Spa, you’ll be greeted by a variety of options to meet your wrinkle- and line-reducing needs.
The best way to find out which neuromodulators are right for you is to come to our Milwaukee office for a consultation!

What to Expect
The Neuromodulators Process
1
Consultation
When you come to Mind and Body Medical Spa for neuromodulators in Milwaukee, you’ll first meet with a trained injection specialist for a complimentary consultation. This helps us ensure you are an ideal neuromodulator candidate! We’ll discuss your concerns and goals for treatment. We’ll also examine your lines and wrinkles to recommend which injectable will best meet your needs.
2
Your Neuromodulator Injections
Once you arrive for your injections appointment, we’ll study your facial expressions and make light marks to indicate where we’ll inject. Most patients report no or minimal discomfort; however, we can provide a topical anesthetic as needed! After the quick 15-minute injection process, we will assess the treated area to ensure the proper placement.
3
Next Steps
We’ll answer any remaining questions you have about your injections, provide you with aftercare instructions and how to best maintain your results, and then we’ll schedule any follow-up appointments you need. When you leave our Milwaukee office, you can return to regular activities; however, make sure you wear sun protection and keep your head upright for 4 hours.
Pre-Treatment
Pre-Care Instructions
Prior to Neuromodulators, Mind and Body Medical Spa Recommends
10 Days Before
Avoid aspirin (e.g. Bayer, Excedrin) and other blood-thinning medications (e.g. Vitamin E, Fish Oil) for at least 10 days before injections.
Avoid Alcohol
Avoid alcohol for 2 days prior to injections, as it can thin the blood and cause bruising during treatment.
Zinc Supplements
Consider a zinc supplement in the weeks leading up to your injections. Studies have shown that higher levels of zinc in the body are related to higher efficacy of neuromodulators.
Retinoid Products
Discontinue the use of retinoid (Vitamin A) products for at least 2 days before and 2 days after treatment.
3 Days Before
Avoid ibuprofen (e.g. Advil, Motrin) for 3 days before injections. Note: if you’re concerned about pain or bruising, you can take Tylenol before your appointment.
Drink Water
Make sure your skin is properly hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water and using moisturizer in the morning and at night.
Post Treatment
Post-Care Instructions
Prior to Neuromodulators, Mind and Body Medical Spa Recommends
No Touching/Massaging
No touching or massaging the injection site.
Stay Upright
Keep your head upright for at least 4 hours to help reduce swelling and speed up recovery.
Avoid For 1 Week
Avoid scrubs, toners, and abrasive cleansers for at least 1 week to ensure you do not disrupt the precisely applied neuromodulator.
Sleeping
Sleep with your face up and slightly elevated if you are experiencing swelling.
Sunlight/Sunscreen
Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen when outside, as UV rays can disperse the injectable in your skin and shorten the effect.
Physical Activity
Avoid strenuous activity or aerobics for 24 hours after your injections.
Frequently Asked Questions
- When will I see results?
-
After receiving neuromodulators you may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours.
- How long do the results last?
-
The results of neuromodulators generally last up to 4 months, depending on the patient’s skin type and the depth and severity of their lines.
- How much time does it take to receive a neuromodulator injection?
-
The injection process itself only takes 10 to 15 minutes!
- Will my face look overdone or unnatural?
-
The highly trained medical experts at Mind and Body Medical Spa have years of experience performing thousands of neuromodulator injections. Rest assured, we will deliver subtle and natural results. No one should be able to tell you’ve had any “work” done.
- How many neuromodulator injections should I get?
-
The number of injections will depend on the severity and number of lines you have. Generally, for crow’s feet, we suggest 3 injections into the muscle areas that frame the side of each eye. For frown lines, you may receive up to 5 injections. For forehead lines specifically, you may receive up to 5 injections into the muscle.
- Do men get neuromodulator injections?
-
Absolutely! Neuromodulators for men are standard at our practice. Crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines are not exclusively an area of concern for women. Men get these wrinkles over time and may wish to look younger and more refreshed, too!
