Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that relax targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Popular brands like Botox®, Dysport®, Daaxify®, Juveau®, and Xeomin® work by temporarily blocking nerve signals, offering a smoother, more youthful look with minimal downtime.
Understanding Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are FDA-approved injectable treatments used primarily in aesthetic medicine to soften dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. These include forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. By blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, neuromodulators temporarily reduce their movement, resulting in smoother skin.
They are a popular, non-surgical alternative for people seeking facial rejuvenation with little to no recovery time.
How Do Neuromodulators Work?
Neuromodulators contain a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. When injected into targeted muscles, they interrupt the communication between nerves and muscles, preventing the muscle from contracting. This helps diminish existing wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.
The results typically appear within 3 to 7 days and last 3 to 6 months, depending on the product and individual metabolism.
