Facial wrinkles and fine lines can be difficult to deal with, but BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® can help! These simple, injectable treatments can temporarily soften wrinkles and fine lines near the brows, eyes, mouth, and forehead without the need for extended discomfort or downtime.
What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are some of the most widely used injectable treatments available today. These products are used to address one of the most common causes of wrinkles and fine lines — muscle contractions. Over the course of a person’s lifetime, they make countless facial expressions when they speak, eat, laugh, smile, or frown. These facial expressions cause muscle contractions, which in turn causes the skin above the muscles to move. Over time, these movements lead to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines, especially in areas like the brows, forehead, mouth, and eyes.
Both BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®, the two neuromodulators we offer at Glow Medispa, are formulated using a substance called botulinum toxin. Once this substance is injected into the muscles during a neuromodulator treatment session, the muscles are temporarily relaxed. This allows the skin above them to smooth and soften. Because the relaxation that botulinum toxin provides wrinkles is only temporary, patients must undergo repeated injections to maintain their results.
