What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators, including BOTOX® Cosmetic, are injectable wrinkle relaxers that use botulinum toxin type A to target dynamic lines, such as forehead lines, glabellar lines (lines between the eyebrows), and Crow's feet. Facial expressions from repeated muscle movements, like smiling and frowning, can lead to fine lines and wrinkles over time. Neuromodulators are produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum and related species. They are an injectable, nonsurgical solution to relax the muscles responsible for these lines and wrinkles. This results in smoother skin and an overall more youthful appearance. Neuromodulators also help prevent new lines from forming by reducing the strength of the muscle contractions that produce dynamic wrinkles. Neuromodulators are ideal for individuals looking for a minimally invasive way to enhance their natural beauty and maintain a refreshed look.
How Do BOTOX and Neuromodulators Work?
When treating wrinkles, like forehead lines, it's crucial to consider factors like frontalis muscle strength, height, and contraction patterns to maintain natural facial expressions. For severe horizontal lines, treating the brow depressors first may provide balanced results. During your consultation, we will assess your facial structure and facial muscle movement to determine the ideal treatment area. Neuromodulator injections are administered with a fine needle to the target muscles, relaxing them to smooth the overlying skin. This injection treatment takes a few minutes with minimal discomfort and allows patients to return to their usual activities right away. Results typically begin to show within a few days, providing gradual improvement in the appearance of fine lines.
