Neuromodulator injections, such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, are cosmetic treatments that involve injecting a purified form of botulinum toxin into specific muscles to temporarily relax them and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Neuromodulator injections work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles helps to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Neuromodulator injections can be used to treat various areas of the face, including the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), crow’s feet (around the eyes), and other areas prone to wrinkles and fine lines.

While Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all neuromodulator injections that work similarly, they have slight differences in formulation and potency. Your provider can help determine which option is best for you based on your individual needs and preferences.

The results of neuromodulator injections typically last for three to six months, after which time the effects gradually wear off, and muscle activity returns to normal.

When administered by a qualified and experienced provider, neuromodulator injections are considered safe and have been used for cosmetic purposes for many years.

During the treatment, your provider will inject the neuromodulator into the targeted muscles using a fine needle. Afterward, you may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these side effects usually subside quickly.
