Neurotoxins, commonly known as neuromodulators, are purified proteins that temporarily relax specific facial muscles. This process reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are lines formed by repetitive muscle movements like frowning or squinting. Neurotox works by blocking nerve signals to these muscles, preventing them from contracting. This creates a smoother, more youthful complexion without affecting your natural facial expressions when administered by a skilled professional. The most well-known brands include Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau®, each with a unique formulation to address your specific needs.
Unlike dermal fillers that add volume, neurotoxins specifically target muscle activity. When injected into targeted areas, a neurotoxin like Botox®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau® temporarily paralyzes or weakens the underlying muscles responsible for forming wrinkles. This relaxation of the muscles smooths out existing lines and can also prevent new ones from forming or deepening. The treatment is quick, typically taking only 10-20 minutes, and requires no downtime. The effects gradually become visible over a few days and last for several months, offering a refreshed and natural-looking result.
