Neuromodulators have transformed the world of aesthetic treatments by offering a non-surgical, effective solution for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. These injectable treatments, derived from botulinum toxin, work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles. This muscle relaxation prevents the formation of wrinkles caused by facial expressions, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau, are designed to temporarily relax the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are those caused by repetitive facial movements, like smiling or frowning, which over time can cause fine lines to deepen.
Each of these brands offers a slightly different formulation or effect:
- Botox: The most widely known and used neuromodulator.
- Dysport: Known for quicker results and a more diffused spread, making it ideal for larger treatment areas.
- Xeomin: A purer form of botulinum toxin without additives, suitable for those who may have developed a resistance to Botox.
- Jeuveau: The newest option, primarily used for frown lines between the eyebrows.
How Do Neuromodulators Work?
By blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, neuromodulators relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. With less muscle movement, the skin is able to smooth out, minimizing the appearance of lines.
Neuromodulators can treat a variety of areas, including:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Bunny lines (sides of the nose)
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands
- Jawline slimming
How Long Do Neuromodulator Effects Last?
The results typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on factors like the treatment area and the individual’s response. Maintenance treatments are recommended to keep results looking smooth and natural.
