What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that are used to temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. These products are widely used because they effectively attack wrinkles at their source: the muscles. These wrinkle relaxers are safe and will provide a fresher facial appearance and erase years without any downtime.
By inhibiting the muscles of facial expressions and movements, the skin will appear smoother and less wrinkled. While these are a natural part of living, neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport paralyze these muscles, giving your skin time to relax and, in turn, smooth over once prominent wrinkles. Neuromodulators temporarily paralyze the muscles using different formulations of botulinum toxin. Since these neuromodulators are metabolized and leave the body, the results are temporary and typically only last between 3-5 months.

Botox
FDA-approved for the treatment of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles in 2002, Botox is one of the most widely known injectable products available today. Botox is extremely safe and effective. The injections themselves only take a few minutes, making it a convenient procedure. Results may take 3-7 days to show, and typically last between 3-6 months.

Dysport
Similar to the effects of other neuromodulators, Dysport has been tested and approved for the temporary reduction of moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows without looking exaggerated, frozen, or overdone. Treatment with Dysport ensures that you will still maintain your normal range of facial expressions without any tell-tale signs that you have had an aesthetic procedure done.
